The MXR Joshua Ambient Echo is a gateway into iconic soundscapes, from tonal trips out of the ’60s and ’70s to ethereal cathedral-like ambience.
In the past, you needed a whole rack processor get the tones contained, but this pedal comes with everything you need to design your own path leading into the sonic universe, all in a modern and user-friendly format—and it’s already dialed in and ready to go!
Set the Rhythm with Tap Tempo
The footswitch can also be used as a tap tempo switch to set the rhythm of your primary repeats. Press and hold for 1 second to engage tap tempo mode, and then tap your desired rhythm.
Key Features
- A Whole Plethora of Echo! – This pedal contains many different styles of echo, which is now all conveniently in one pedal.
- Built-In Tap Tempo – By using the tap tempo, you can quickly and easily set the speed of the echo, giving you more control.
