Delay effect with extensive sound options for electric guitar
With the Empress Effects Echo System, the effects company from Ontario, Canada presents a versatile delay for electric guitar that convinces with its first-class and numerous sound variations. The pedal offers more than 36 effect algorithms covering classics such as tape, analog and digital echoes, but also ambient, reverse and modulated delays. Thanks to the tap tempo and ratio function, it is possible not only to precisely set the delay time, but also the rhythm of the repetitions. Thanks to the clearly arranged control panel, the Empress Effects echo system allows you to set the right sound in no time at all and store it on one of the preset stations.

This thing is a quality delay unit. Takes SD cards for the looper function (V30 or above, SDHC, Format irrelevant). For just Firmware updates any card will do but needs to be formatted to Fat32.
It has a MIDI jack function and you can either make up your own cable, buy a suitable cable, or use something like Empress's own Midibox.
No Power Supply is included because most people have something like the Strymon Zuma already. Personally I think they should include one anyway. I use it for synths and a plug is useful for moving it to locations away from any main power source.
Lots of complexity. Great sounds. Looks good. Most expensive pedal I have ever bought and cannot say whether its 'worth it'. I'd like to see it cheaper obviously.
You get the unit in a box and nothing else.
