01Overview

Fox Echo V2 is built to add the grit and movement of vintage analog tape to digital recordings. It pairs a chorus engine with two tape-style echo engines, so you can shape everything from short, dark slapback to wide, swirling ambient repeats. The redesigned V2 interface brings a new preset system and a clearer layout for working through the controls.

Echo and Chorus Sound Design

Each of the two echo engines has its own Time, Repeats and tempo Sync, so you can run rhythmic delays alongside a different repeat pattern. Stereo and mid side modes spread the repeats across the stereo image, which helps them sit around the center of a mix rather than crowding it.

The chorus engine offers Classic, Ensemble and Wild styles, with Depth and Speed controls to set the amount and rate of modulation. Drive pushes the chorus into saturation, and the onboard Spring reverb adds a splash of additional space.

Workflow and Metering

A Blend control lets you mix the effect in parallel without a separate send. Smart Gain helps match the level of the processed signal to the dry signal, making it easier to compare settings.

VU metering, A/B compare and a short-term LUFS readout help you judge levels while you work. A new oversampling algorithm is included in the V2 update.
