Version 6.8.7
The EC-300 Echo Collection brings the sound of dozens of echo and chorus effects into a single plug-in.
MAGNETIC EC-300 Echo
DIGITAL EC-300 Echo
ANALOG EC-300 Echo
The three delay types – Magnetic, Digital, and Analog – come with a generous collection of user controls, plenty of character modes, highly stylized visual feedback, and McDSP’s nearly two decades of gear modeling experience.
Each EC-300 delay type comes with additional character modes to create new and unique sounds. Other delay features include adjustable saturation, wow and flutter, delay output ducking, in-loop filtering and EQ, and level control at the input and output stages. The EC-300 can operate in single, dual, and ping-pong modes, and delay time can be synced to session playback or to a tapped tempo.

Tap tempo and session sync
Double precision processing
Mono, stereo, and mono-to-stereo versions
Feedback
When creating echo effects, the amount each delay on the EC-300 is fed back into the other can add some complex variation for believable ambient effects. Modulation effects like flanging also benefit from a modest amount of Feedback Mix

Stereo Width
The Width, Offset and Spread controls each setup the stereo field of the EC-300 in different ways. The Width controls the stereo panning of Delay 1 and Delay 2 with a single knob. 0% pans Delay 1 and 2 in the center, 100% pans Delay 1 hard left and Delay 2 hard right, and values above 100% provide ‘pseudo- stereo’ effects.
SIMs
The Digital delay model takes saturation effects a few steps further by offering Bit Depth adjustment to control the actual fidelity of the delay itself, and a fairly extensive list of simulated impulse models (SIMs) from the TEC Award nominated FutzBox plug-in. Maybe routing your delay feedback through a fax machine does not sound like a good idea. But the complex processing of the SIM really enhances the range of flange, chorus, and echo effects achievable in the EC-300, unlike any other delay available.
