Rainger FX Echo-X Delay Pedal w/ Igor Pressure Pad Controller

The Echo-X is a digital delay mini-pedal which offers unprecedented real-time control over crucial parameters, and now comes with a ‘gate’ switch option – giving the world’s first gated echo effect!


noise gate

Situated on the main top panel, with the ‘gate’ pushbutton pressed, when you stop playing, all echo repeats are cut. This gives some great rhythmical delay effects, and self-oscillating repeats chopped into edgy silence.

Start playing again and the gate opens – with the brand new signal oscillating.


other controls

It comes with an Igor pressure pad controller which can adjust delay speed, amount of feedback, or work as a ‘send’ control; while your sound is dry, as you press on Igor, the signal is diverted through the pedal’s circuitry. When you release Igor you carry on playing dry while the diverted notes echo away on their own… An incredibly useful and expressive feature for everyday use!

The Echo-X has 540ms of delay time available, and has level, rate, feedback, input, and volume controls. ‘LVL’ goes from no echo, to slightly louder than the input signal. ‘FBK’ meanwhile goes from a single repeat to runaway overloading feedback oscillation.

‘INPT’ governs the input signal, and if this is too loud the red ‘overload’ LED comes on and it needs to be turned down if you want to avoid the clean signal distorting (which won’t damage the pedal). The volume knob however can push the volume back up.

The Echo-X is housed in a Rainger FX mini-pedal enclosure, with all sockets mounted on the top end panel. The Igor mode switches are on the bottom end panel.


Igor Expression Pad

• Easy, real-time control of effects pedal parameters!
• A small, light expression pedal with no moving parts.
• Has dual sensitivity.
• Use with foot or by hand!


It's to have some real-time control of effects when possible, so instead of carrying round big rocker ‘wah wah’ style expression pedals, Rainger FX uses their pressure-sensitive expression pad, ‘Igor’. It’s called ‘Igor’ because it first came into being as the assistant to their Dr Freakenstein Fuzz (now discontinued).

All of the Rainger FX pedals that use an Igor are already supplied with one (other than the Stealth). However, if yours goes missing you can order a replacement from Rainger FX.

The pad is 55mm in diameter, no moving parts and very light (35 times lighter than a standard cast metal treadle-type pedal!!!). It has dual sensitivity; use it shiny side up on a hard stage, or with shoes, standing – or rubber side up if you’re barefoot or sitting down. Or use it by hand. The cable is approximately 22.5" (57cm) long.

It’s not as precise as a ‘rocker’ style expression pedal, but is a simple solution to foot-controlled expression on-the-fly!

NOTE; Igor comes with a 3.5mm stereo mini jackplug (sleeve unconnected), and is designed for use with Rainger FX products. Might work with someone else’s? Maybe, don’t know – depends on the type of expression pedal they’d normally use, but you’d probably need a 1/4" adaptor to use it.
