The EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo V3 reverb pedal is one to think about for players looking for a powerful but easy-to-use verb. The Ghost Echo V3 is based on vintage spring reverb units, but some simple tweaking delivers hall-type sounds as well. The attack knob dictates when the effect enters your signal for note clarity, and it can even simulate a slapback delay. And the 100% analog true-bypass construction ensures you're getting your truest guitar tone. This third-generation editon of Ghost Echo V3 boasts upgraded op-amps for better sonic performance, a stronger reverb signal with double the output, and a re-calibrated Dwell control that can reach self-oscillation. It also features updated artwork and silent, relay-based switching.

Far from a one-trick pony





Right out of the gate, the EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo V3 nails the classic spring sounds of the vintage units, along with cavernous hall tones, shorter room-type verbs, and total reverb washes. Not only can you dial in your taste of reverb, but short, single-repeat, slapback delays are also available.





From slapback to huge swells





The secret weapon of the Ghost Echo V3 reverb pedal is its attack knob. This control sets the effect's pre-delay, which determines the time until the reverb effect is introduced into your signal. The dial's range is from 30-150ms. At lower settings it keeps your attack from being washed out by the reverb. But Sweetwater guitarists love how at higher settings the attack knob acts as a short-timed delay. By dialing your dwell control, you can get a very useable analog slapback. At high settings it will self-oscillate, with the pitch of the oscillation determined by the Attack knob.
