Whats the difference?

they are more or less the same but echo is often the term used for short (50-500 ms) delay while delay is used more ofter for the longer delays (550ms-several seconds)...

I agree with The Guy Who Invented Fire, although on occasion someone will use the term quot;echoquot; synonomously with quot;delayquot; regardless of delay time.

I also think of echo as being a very vintage, possibly tape effect (Binson Echorec) and delay as being more modern analog and digital chips. It's all the same idea however...

Delay.....Delay.....Delay.....Delay.....Delay.....Delay.....Delay.....
EchoEchoEchoEchoEchoEchoEcho

The other way I tend to think of it is that echo modulates, degrades, and/or runs the repeats into each other....similar to what an analog or multi-tap tape delay does.

Delay spits out identical repeats at a specific delay and volume.But that's just my opinon....they really are used interchangeably.

Nice graphical (or, uh, alphabetical) representation, guys!!! I think you summed it up perfectly. Refer all time-based effects newbies here!!!

i dunno, im sitting next to a Digital Echoplex which has 198 seconds of delay...i use them interchangeably.

Excellent!

Now who can represent phase, flange and chorus in the same manner?

198 seconds! Thats not echo . . . thats Deja Vu.

DISTORTION

Damn, didn't work out!!

or maybe just a glitch in the matrix...

Lol!

I agree with the guy. and artie and daisy's 'presentions'.

I usually associate echo with analoge delays, and echo with more modern and/or digital delays.
