A small, simple solution for rockabilly raging or subtle tone thickening.
The Electro-Harmonix Slap-Back Echo takes the essence of one of rock guitars most iconic effects and boils it down into an ultra-compact footprint without sacrificing modern flexibilities.
The Electro-Harmonix Slap-Back Echo is a late 70s rarity reissued with a classic tone and few modern updates. A single, short delay has been utilized to add depth and rhythmic effect to countless records, was popularized in the 1950s, and is still unmistakable. The EHX Slap-Back Echo’s simple design delivers the classic sounds from subtle doubling to intense bathtub reflections in a pedalboard-friendly package.
Housed in EHX’s Pico-sized chassis, the all-analog Slap-Back Echo features Gain and Blend knobs as well as a Time switch. The Gain knob controls the input signal before the echo circuit and also adjusts the overall volume at the output with a boost of up to +20dB. The Blend knob mixes the dry signal and the echo signal from 100% dry to 100% echo. The Time switch selects between three different delay times: 45ms, 65ms, and 100ms.

Can you give me a good setting for that 78-81 Stones Slapback?
I know we have all said it before, but John is such a great talent as guitarist, musician, rig rundown host, demo guy, on and off video. I would love to do what he does. You have made a great life doing this, and we appreciate you.
Yeah, but he’s so good that he’s the wrong person to demo stuff.
Very true, I'd love to jam with him one day
I didn’t learn about delay time techniques like slapback or dotted eighth until I was many years into my playing journey. Thanks for helping us learn John and making guitar playing and gear more fun.
Just love how this pedal makes it super simple to dial in great slap-back and cool useable delays. Great review too as always. This one's a keeper for sure!
Slapback is where it’s at. When I’m playing with my events band it’s slapback probably 80% of the time. Total secret weapon.
John is such a great player and has such a great vibe. Always a pleasure to hang with guy.
That was a blast. I love the slap back delay.
I ordered one right after seeing this. Can't wait!
Good ole Rock-A-Billy John. Get'em boy. Love it my man.
Very cool pedal and some fantastic playing!!!
Great review, John! Just like you, I'm a huge EHX fan and this little baby will end up on my pedalboard!
Great playing as always....
Great demo John.
Grt playing John. Knocked it out of the park
Nice one John awesome sounds with the dirt LP was my fav though, it's on my shopping list thanks.
Like the Pedal, as all from Electro-Harmonix. Love your playing, John! Always fantastic tone! Made that Gretsch, SING! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
👍👍Two thumbs up also.
This pedal is best by itself or in a small pedal board. That gain really colors the sound and can really change your tone, and not always in a good way.
Great playing....❤
Awesome thanks. 😎
The pedal aside, I'm impressed how he's getting around the guitar.
Howdy from North Carolina I play classic country and 50s rockabilly Me and my grandpa bought this pedal took the guts out and wired it up inside my modified monoprice 5w tube amp that now has a 8inch Celestion 100w speaker and a vintage RCA 12AU7 tube we added the pedal control adjustments and the time switch on the back of the amp and the 9v power adapter on the back of my amp is pretty much a louder clean machine modern version of an Echosonic
My style is pretty much like Luther Perkins I use Thomastik 12/50 flatwound strings ever since me and my grandpa wired this up in my amp my favorite thing to play is Train Of Love
and Home Of The Blues
and Get Rhythm
and other classic Johnny Cash Sun records era recordings
I really get that tone now but louder than the original vintage amps
I love mine, I find it indispensable.
I would subscribe to an EHX Pedal of the Month club.
(:
Who was that guy? 🙂 Much fun! Very impressive.
Great Echo...
you are a better guitarist than most people you interview.
It would be cool if you did a video on how you use the EHX Battalion for electric guitar!
That pedal was created for your style John. 😀 Sounds impressive as do you.
On all Led Zeppelin albums, that guitar sound you mentioned is due to Jimmy Page microphone tecnique, where he used lots of room mikes... the only time he used an actual delay, a Binson Echorec, was during the recording of John Bonham drums on When the Levee Breaks (Headley Grange sound was not sufficient, see Rick Beato's video on that topic).
That said, awesome demo, thanks!
omg John that les paul!!!!! is that a new model??? great sounds
Nice man cave John
EHX is a great company and Mr. B a great player.
Man, I've been playing guitar for over 10 years - and for the longest time, I thought that the super-short reverb-ish sound on recordings that sounds like you're sitting in the room with the guitar was a reverb, and I could never figure out how to get it. I've only just learned it isn't actually a reverb. It's a slap back delay. Might need to pick this badboy up.
Yes I think you understand what sounds good
Nice! I want to know what bender is on that less Paul!
Just got one. Social media crap😂😂 love it
Hot damn. Screw the pedal just watch John play!
Any delay can do it !
Just got one based on this review. Plugged it in, and it is so noisy that it almost obscures the sound coming from the guitar. Sweetwater being the amazing folks they are will be sending a replacement, so hopefully it will function properly. All I can say is. . .ya get what you pay for. 81 bucks is probably too good to be true.
Yeah, I was having some issues too. Just got mine delivered yesterday, so I thought I’d come and read some comments. Hard to find much info online so far, but I’m assuming now that it really has to be used in an effects loop. Because mine is noisy, and it really kills the tone-much more than it probably should. I know it’s not a transparent boost, but it’s it just sounds like a blanket is thrown over the amp as soon as it comes on.
I don’t have an effects loop, so I’ll have to go back to the nice little Tomsline delay I was using. It is very transparent… sparkles and works great. I was just hoping this thing would be a great slap back pedal to put on my board. Instead of having to try and dial it in.
I also ordered a flashback mini. Just to have something smaller and more simple. There must be something I can do, I’ll work with it a few more days before selling it.😝🎸🤘🏻🇺🇸
Can you shut off echo and just have a clean delay for a clean channel amp?
Thanks dude-I seriously didn't need this pedal but now I just want it...ugh. This is going to be hard to explain to the wife...
You could always keep it a secret...
Better listen to what The Man said. The Mystery Train is leaving the station. EHX Rules.
Smokin intro
It sounds a lot like the old Univox EC-80.
Adding enough blend cuts treble too much, sound turns somehow muted with too much low end. If this is your only pedal and it is on all the time it works, but it doesnt work in a pedalboard. Waited months for that pedal and it was unfortunately disappointing. My slapbackecho is for sale.
Your fly is open
I don't get why people use the term analog for digital pedals like this one. It would be analog if it was tape driven. Anyways, I've ordered one of those, though I've heard that they've got a number of issues...we'll see.
atleast you can do something than Perry!
ET BEN MON GODET 😅😅😅😃😃😃😃😃😂😂😂✌♫♫👈👌👈
Hey Eskimos I have some ice I wanna sell ya.......
So how the F... is the first pedal influencing the second? jesus. With some instruments, such as steel guitar, the advantage of slapback is to mute "setup" ...forget it.
Sounds rather muddy
The last thing you need with that pedal is MORE BASS. It muddies everything to begin with.
This vid should be called how to destroy the tone of 3 thousand dollar Gretsch with one pedal 😂
