I can hear why this pedal is so popular. Honestly, Earthquaker should feel honored that they have finally been “paid tribute to” by DemonFX. 😂😂
🤣🤣 I'm sure they'd prefer a bit of kickback from those demon sales, but yeah, you've really made it when you get Demon'd. Sounds fab doesn't it?
@@BudgetPedalChap I guess it’s like getting “Behringered” back in the day
@@erifkind high praise indeed 🤣🤣
Demon may be taking the stairway to the sun instead of flying!! I've used the eqd ghost echo for a couple years playing worship, love it. This pedal is right on the money, excellent playing!!
Cheers 👍 it's nice to know this one is close, I've not had the good fortune to try the original
FFS I spent the past week talking myself out of buying this pedal and now you drop this video. Thanks a bunch 😂
You are very welcome 🤣🤣👍
This one might have to go on the list!
@@brotherhawk3228 it straddles the line between vintage and ethereal for me. I hope you enjoy it 👍
Great demo thanks for turning me on to the Demonfx Ghast Echo, I ordered this pedal today!
Aye, no problems. I didn't realised how good it was going to sound either. Let me know how you get on 👍
Omg, that was so good. Vintage, yet ethereal
Yeah it straddles a cool line I didn't even know I wanted to cross
Just ordered looks like your the only review of this one. Sounds fantastic
Yeah, it's pretty new. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I bought one based upon this review and cant wait till it gets here. Well played sir! Another demon fx to add to the pile!!😅❤
By this point, I should have shares in the company 🤣🤣🤣 let me know how you get on with it, I had so much fun playing it 👍
Always such lovely music you make cheers !! 🙂🙏
Aw thanks gent, I appreciate that 👍
Wow,this is awesome Pedal 🤟
It really is 👍
Demonfx be flying very close to the sun on this one!
They're getting a great tan, that's for sure 🤣🤣
Lovely job 👏🏻
Why thank you, kind sir 👍
Was considering getting a Ghost Echo to go with my Dispatch Master. Glad I saw your video, looking forward to receiving the Ghast Echo and giving it a go. Cheers from 🇨🇦!
Excellent stuff. Let me know how you get on 👍 I really loved this one
@@BudgetPedalChapreceived my Ghast Echo today. Tried it out - sounds great except there is white noise as I turn the depth up. Pretty noisy anywhere higher than 12 o'clock.
@@SSkauge I didn't notice that myself. I don't use gating on the demos so any noise a pedal makes can be heard. Any option to contact the seller to see if they can replace it?
That ones a beauty
Deffo. It's a vibe I didn't know I was into, but I definitely dig it
@@BudgetPedalChap there is something Hypnotic about a delay/echo/reverb pedal. Once you've plugged in it's hard to stop.
@@stevendavidson391 I played it a good half hour after stopping the recording,I know exactly what you mean 👍
I have an eqd ghost echo
It’s amazing
Will never leave my board
IMHO you should Buy the EQD
Pay the people for their work
Just my two cents
@@gitarboi6760 they are a tad cheeky with how blatant they do things eh?
Mine arrived today. It sounds more like a delay than a reverb and doesn't do subtle easily.
@@CrazedFandango yeah, I think it's one of these that's supposed to be a feature rather than sitting back in the mix. Rather that then having bought the EQD version and found out the same 👍
Received mine a few weeks ago. I love it. My only complaint is that it’s hard to make it subtle with the wet dry mix. Wish there was a bit more range in that 7 to 9 o’clock sweep. Maybe the original does a better job at that. But it’s one of the best “cheap” pedals that I own.
@@Shelterovshadows yeah, it definitely requires a delicate touch with the controls huh? It's a great budget option, for sure
Love to see these guys clone the EHX Freeze pedal.
That'd be something, for sure. I'd definitely be looking to demo one
This might just be one of their best pedals yet. Still wish they'd change the artwork though 😆
They've got quite brazen with this huh? Nowt a bit of creative sanding would sort out. It does sound fantastic though, huh?
@@BudgetPedalChap I’ve been looking at the ravine with the intention of sanding and repainting it 😆
I've got one of those in, I'll try and do it over the next couple of weeks. You'll get an idea if it's worth the effort 👍
Dang, DemonFX are so good. How's they possibly made good at this price point really make me curious
Absolutely agree, they do great stuff 💪
I just got one of these yesterday. it sort of sounded close to the Afterneath. I thought it would be more of a springy effect but it's not really. It is it's own thing really. The pre-delay acts like an echo so its sounds like a delay pedal. With only three knobs you will be able to dial in a usable tone in a few minute, unlike the Afterneath.
Yeah it's kind of ethereal sounding with hints of classic reverb in there somewhere. You can get as subtle or crazy as you like without much hassle with this I found 👍
I didn't know ghost echos were so expensive for our friends across the pond. Its a really good reverb. I made a vid on it. I got a deluxe reverb amp but I still have my ghost echo in the line. Its a digital pedal and it has a specific "springy" voice can probably be emulated cheaper without much trouble if someone knows what it's doing. I'm just surprised to see someone would go through the trouble to copy it. I thought they were quite cheap. Think I bought mine for like 99 USD.
@@legatomodi3522 yeah, I'm pretty sure they are almost double that over here. Demon tend to emulate anything and everything too 🤣🤣
@BudgetPedalChap they sure do. I only just found out about them through this vid. I might see what else they got. I dont mind budget pedals if they work and sound good.
Try to see the prices in Brasil
@@filipeoni I think your best bet will be to check AliExpress or something similar. Best of luck with your search 👍
@@BudgetPedalChapI just got mine and it's amazing. Your review helped me a lot to decide. BTW, in Brazil I got it (through ali) for something around $50 (vat include). An original EQD goes for around $300.
Not my cuppa tea but that's got some range and sounds good across the board (no pun intended 🤭). A useful device for song writing and recording inspiration too✌️💜👍😊
I noted some Barre and Page in there - sounded good at that (as did you)✌️👍💜
Bless you, very kind of you to say. It's a little out of the ordinary for sure 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap I love your choices man, it's a great pedal, but I don't think it would flatter my playing 😀😀😲😀 But the Stairway stuff, it did well👍👍💜💜✌️✌️
Never owned this but I did have a EQD Levitation, sold it to get a big fancy reverb. Hope they rip off the Levitation next lol Belton Brick reverbs have a cool sound to them.
🤣🤣🤣 knowing demon, it's probably in the pipeline. Belton verbs are great, you're not wrong there 👍
Obviously Demon fx are real demons how they clone so many popular boutique pedals and do a very decent job of reproducing the effect the clone. You can’t go wrong at a cost of about £30 new delivered directly to the UK, if like me you love the warmth and and tonal characteristics this and Tape Echo pedals produce, such creative pedal effects that give so much movement, colour/ Timbre, overall tone to any melody,,riff, hook etc. it costs more to go for a night out for a few beers or a trip to McDonalds.
Just ordered one, sure it’ll be worth it and will add more to any guitar tone than £30s worth.
Yeah, they are really affordable and bringing some of those FX that we wouldn't have the opportunity to try otherwise. I really liked the ethereal thing this one does but still being very usable. Cheers for checking out the video 👍
Only video of this cheapie, I'll pick mine today from the post office, 30€ paid postage included. Would love to see (hear) how close it's to the original EQD one...
As would I 🤣🤣 if EQD want to send one in, I'll happily AB them, but somehow I don't think they watch this channel
@@BudgetPedalChap Well, they f**ng should
Well, it certainly does the thing, not as good, but it does do it,
For 37$… maybe if used market was as cheap then it wouldn’t be worth it
@@camenskycameron8413 It could also be a lie price entry to see if you really dig it before shelling out for the real one. It sure does do the thing though eh?
Hey this might be a stupid question but where does one go to buy these online? Is a website like AliExpress the way to go?
@@kiwimaddog2024 if you're in the UK, affordaboard.co.uk would be my choice 👍
I got mine at AliExpress.
Is there any belton reverb module inside just like the real eqd ghost?
I couldn't say unfortunately, I only had this for a few weeks on loan and it's gone back now. It feels like a Belton brick, but it could quite as easily just be pure dsp. Might be worth checking on the web to see if anyone has pics of it opened up 👍
Wish they copy more EQD in the future. 😂
This one has been quite popular, so I imagine it'll be in the cards 👍
Is this just a clone of the ghost echo by eqd? Any differences at all?
As far as I'm aware, yes. The only thing they've changed is the paint job, so I hear 👍😂😂
is there a popping sound when you engage the pedal? is there a sound cut when you disengage the pedal?
Love those reverb sounds and the design artwork is very EQD hehe
I didn't notice anything like that when playing this one. They have been rather cheeky with the design huh? 😂😂
Any slapback delay?
Not really, it kind of does a mid grind between a delay and a reverb. It's not quite as precise as a normal delay but does maybe ambient tones. Hope that explains it 👍
@@BudgetPedalChap Thank you I appreciate it Cheers! Nice pedal
Where u get this?
@@stolencobra affordaboard.co.uk would be my recommendation
@@BudgetPedalChap superb! Thx a lot
They do make some great sounding pedals. I just wish they wouldn't make them such blatent looking copies - I'm all for a more affordable, great sounding pedal, but don't pretend it's something it's not.
Yeah, a fair few have the same complaints about demon FX. They've managed to get a name for themselves rather quickly because of this strategy, but yeah it's not all that moral
Can the oscillation be set so it's on the edge making its noise but staying in the background and no go full on runaway so you could use it as a kinda drone in the background while playing?
I assume if you are better at using the mix control than me, you'd probably be able to. I didn't get that myself but I'm not much of a drone user 👍
Not really. When it starts to oscillate, it does a weird digital hum that drones on if you keep adding more notes.
