For me, I've never found anything that can replace echoboy. It has fantastic sound and a simple, not intimidating interface that expands if you want to do advanced tweaks or experiment. You can even not use it as a delay and simply run things through it for some nice saturation. Then you can play with with the tweaks to make nice fx or wobbly sounds with the wobble knob.

I'm sure there are lots of nice delays, but I haven't even used Echoboy to it's full potential yet.

This picture sums it up for me. Echoboyzilla vs other delays:



But since it'd be boring to leave it at that, I want to add that I really like Softube Tube Delay for interesting feedback effects.

Delays are fun.

 

Echoboy... Game over.

 

My Logic X 10.2.0 fails to validate Echoboy from Soundtoys, like other few...

PUBLISHED PARAMETER INFO:

# # # 25 Global Scope Parameters:
ERROR: Parameter did not retain set value when Initialized

* * FAIL
--------------------------------------------------
AU VALIDATION FAILED: CORRECT THE ERRORS ABOVE.

another echoboy fanboy here.. tho have to admit.. have not tried most of those on @Mundano's extensive list,
or all those all in PSP ? looks like a waves folder...

nice thread man... food for echo-y thoughts...in that kinda mood tonight

 

for me i always uses KORD MDE-X for delay and TAL reverb for Reverb

 

no, only the ones with "psp" mark are PSP's, the rest other brands.

 

Audio Damage Dub Station <3

 

Ok, although "Echoboy" is favorite here, i say: Lexicon PSP42 kick in the ass of gayboy, Lexicon PSP42 ---> is his Dady :D

DDLY Dynamic Delay

Don’t delay, delay today

DDLY Dynamic Delay responds to your track's musical dynamics to create versatile and intriguing delays. It's a one-of-a-kind effects plug-in that delays the signal differently depending on the character of the sound, without turning your track to aural mud. Adjust the threshold to split your signal based on transients, then send it down two separate analog or granular delay paths.
Get a cleaner, more complex sound than a traditional full-signal delay plug-in with DDLY!
(See all the system requirements.)
FREE THROUGH MARCH 10
Price: $49.00 $0.00 USD
Get DDLY Dynamic Delay from February 9, 2016 through March 10, 2016 and you will receive a full license of DDLY Dynamic Delay for free. After March 10, 2016, DDLY Dynamic Delay will be available at the regular price of $49 USD. Limit one per customer. Not transferrable.​

​

Key Features

​

• 
  
  
  • Two delays in one: DDLY analyzes your audio based on an adjustable threshold to determine what to send to the top delay and what to send to the bottom delay. Adjust the Intensity to affect how strongly the signal is split between the two—great for a punchy delay on the harder, transient crack of your drums and a shuffling delay on the main beat elements.
  • Customize your delay: Both delays have two modes to choose from: Analog or Grain. Analog produces warm lo-fi delays with smearing and nostalgic degradation. Grain produces melodic, symphonic, and futuristic sounds for truly new soundscapes.
  • Responsive interface: The interface of DDLY reacts to the material it’s applied to for unique real-time visual feedback. As the knobs come to life, your sound gets cooler. Go ahead, get ‘em all going!
  • Automatable: DDLY can be set up with automation in your audio host, to engage the dynamic delay on your mix when you want it to and back off when you need the raw material to shine.

I have Echoboy 4.0.2 running in Logic X 10.2.1 OSX 10.11.3 and had it running in ever since Logic 9.1.8 and OS X 10.6.8.

I also get the above error upon validation scanning if I don't do the following:

1. Disable OSX System Integrity Protection (if you're on El Capitan)
2. Replace your El Capitan Library/usr/bin/auvaltool with the auvaltool from an earlier version of OSX like Yosemite (if you're on El Capitan)
3. Install and run the OSX Validate All AUs.app
4. Open the Logic Plugin Manager, select Echoboy, and hit Reset and ReScan Selection

If you have any questions or need any files PM me.

 

don't forget h-delay, I know it is mentioned by the TS but it is by far my favorite delay

 

unfortunately am working on OS X 10.9.4 and it doesn't recognize the Echoboy

Not in particular order, I've tested:

Sigmund (D16 Audio Groupe) - my first choice.
Timeless 2 (FabFilter)
Imperial Delay (BOZ Digitals Lab)
OhmBoyz (Ohm Force)
PSP 85 (loving it) and 608 MultiDelay (PSPaudioware)

Considerig (but not tested):

EchoBoy (Soundtoys) -- but hate iLok/PACE (AudioUTOPiA "remix" as alternative, even for legit)
Satin (u-he) seems to be a "multi effects"

 

Echoboy anyday everday.
Gonna try that lexicon psp delay too.

 

u should use more as one delay,use 2 or 3 delays on ur channel and put a bit of both signals.u get awesome sounds

 

cool stuff

i'vre recommended it, ... i've recommended them!
