Description

From Gecko Pedals: 

Meet the Geckoplex, the no-expense-spared result of over 10 years in pursuit of our own dream delay pedal.  Inspired by 1960-1970’s era tape delays, but with some more modern digital features added in, the Geckoplex EP-5 is about as close as possible to having an actual tape delay unit on your pedalboard.  It is full-featured and versatile, handling anything from a simple slap-back, to creating dreamy, spacious science-fiction soundscapes that combine reverb with nearly endless, twisted, wavering echoes.  Pair it with an expression pedal for hands-free control of any set of controls over any range in real-time.

Mount it on your pedalboard, or put it on top of your amp stack for some hands-on action instead.  However you decide to use it, it has your delay needs covered, and is solidly hand-built to last a very long time.

Each Geckoplex is hand-crafted in small batches with genuine, quality components and individually hand-numbered.  Absolutely everything, including circuit board assembly, machining, powder coating, screen printing,  assembly, and testing, is done in-house right here in Eugene, Oregon, U.S.A.

New Version 2 Features include:

  • Full MIDI control, with up to 64 MIDI accessible presets, clock sync, and clock master mode.
  • Can be fully bypassed.  The off-state output modes are user selectable(buffered with preamp active, or fully bypassed).
  • User selectable max delay time (650ms, 1sec, 2sec).
  • User selectable expression pedal functions in the Sound on Sound looper mode (playback volume, playback speed, or loop degradation).
  • Independent control of reverb parameters via MIDI (mix, decay time, tone).
  • Over 2X higher headroom before clipping.
  • Even lower overall noise floor.

Other Features include:

  • Analog FET input preamp gain stage, with level adjustable from zero up to +11dB by the GAINknob.
  • Super high quality 24bit/96kHz audio digital audio in the effects path.
  • Up to 2 seconds max delay time.
  • Sound on Sound (SOS) looper mode, with loops of up to 40 seconds.
  • Toggle switches change the SOS loop playback speed and direction (1/2, normal, 2X speeds, and backward or forward playback).
  • Separate WET/DRY outputs for use with dual amp setups or other non-conventional signal routing.
  • The dry signal can be switched off on the wet output for pure WET/DRY outputs (internal switch).
  • 3 (or up to 64 accessible by MIDI) Fully programmable presets, with seamless switching between them.
  • Expression pedal support, allowing full control of any set of controls over any desired range on each preset.
  • Tap tempo with selectable subdivisions (eighth note, quarter note, and dotted eighth note subdivisions).
  • Tap tempo hold function ramps up into temporary self-oscillation.
  • TRAILS toggle switch to control whether trailing effects are heard after the unit is switched off.
  • Buffered outputs, capable of easily driving amps with clarity, even through long cables or into Lo-Z inputs.
  • Motorized delay slide control to set the delay time, similar to a tape write head position lever found on some vintage tape delay units.
  • 6 effect control knobs: echo VOLUME, REPEATS, TONE, WARP, REVERB, and a Gecko Pedals original effect: SHIFT.
  • LED level meter bar with peak indicator (6 LEDs).

Other nerdy bragging rights:

  • A preposterously powerful ARM Cortex M7 core handles the DSP heavy lifting.
  • The enclosure is powder coated and artwork is printed with epoxy ink for ultimate finish durability.
  • Gold-plated contacts on the circuit board (ENIG finish).
  • Real genuine Davies Molding knobs, made in Chicago, USA
  • Real genuine Hammond Manufacturing all metal enclosure.
  • Only polyester film and ceramic capacitors are used throughout.  No electrolytic or tantalum capacitors to worry about drying up or otherwise failing.
  • Polyester film capacitors are used exclusively in the audio signal path.
  • Silicone wire cable assemblies are used for all peripheral circuit board connections.
