Over the last few years Knobula has produced some of the best new modules out there, with things like Poly Cinematic becoming a much loved, instant classic. Their fifth module, Echo Cinematic, aims at bringing the same level of unique fun and quality to multi effects.
Echo Cinematic is more than just a delay. This 12hp module packs a lot into its size, from delay to reverb, and three filter types, alongside some novel features like knob recording and the easiest implementation of assigning CVs. It’s skiff friendly too at 35mm deep. The front panel, adorned in familiar Knobular pastel pinks and blue greys is well laid out, with clear sections for the different tools on offer. My only gripe is that, as it fits so much into a small package, it relies on some very small switches that are hard to navigate at first. That soon passes though and after a couple of hours it’s second nature.
