Malekko LoFi Ekko 616

[GuitarGod94XxXx]

@MigelMeUp tell them you want it in stock and they'll email it to you when it's in stock and save one for you. I done it for my wah pedal

[MigelMeUp]

Why isn't this for sale anymore? And the old Malekko 616 is out of stock every time I take a look at it :( I really want one of these, and I finally have le money. Please respond! :(

[kevinjoe3578]

AWESOME ALIEN MUSIC!!! :))

[jportizc98]

@ProGuitarShopDemos I don't know wich pedal has better oscillations: MXR Carbon Copy, Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay CB, Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy, Malekko Ekko616 or Malekko LoFi Ekko 616?

Thanks!

[Mirtera]

Do you have any estimate of when the pedal is available for sale again?

[rosecigar]

how about sell andy's finger

[guitarslinger213]

Sounds like Mark Knopfler around 4:00

[amirridzwana]

What is the position of the speed and depth knob to get the ring mod overtones?

[TommittajaFIN]

3:40 is something heavenly...

[MrYungsan]

reaaaalllly love this pedal.

[sonicat]

Your vids always have a great sound quality... Wich mic do you use?

[krismael]

Andy how many times you heard that your voices scared someone LOL i was watching another demo by PGS too and suddenly this other start with "PRO GUITAR SHOP"...it made me jump LOL

[missshevaughn]

I have a slightly broken DOD FX96 analog echo that does some of these noises when you turn the "Tape Quality" knob all the way down. But it's DOD so it's gonna crap out eventually... Good to know there is something to replace it with!!!

[HandreyAlex]

this or the regular one?

[gonssas]

anyone knows the song between 1:36 to 2:30?????????????

[RyanKristoph]

Nice.



[fuzzface85]

great video and pedal... just an info: what's the backtracking song heard from 0:00 to 1:30?

[laudypapa1]

@fuzzface85 the song is by Radiohead, it is called The National Anthem

[CampfireHedphaz]

I guess I should add this to my list of gear needed to do Boards of Canada on guitar.

[Jayakiran1]

This guy is PRO. Awesome playing.

[TheRealSonicYouth]

How much? Plz reply!

[MakeshiftWings39]

my ears were having sex in this video lmao.,

[MegaUncleAlbert]

Got mine last Friday, immensely fun at first but there's a lot of versatility lurking in there. That internal gain control is a godsend too. Nice one PGS for stocking this!

[MrTimothyWatts]

Hey Andy do you smokes da weed like Josh Ferme?

[MCLOVIN50]

Trippiest delay pedal EVARRRR

[GrungeyDude]

Could someone please tell me what the last song he plays is or if it's just a riff of his. I NEED to know.

[ban15ed]

The stuff you played on the LP was killer! Where is that from?

[Utube447588]

What"s the name of that first song he played from 1:35-2:30? I gotta know, I love it!

[fsxolliefsx]

RADIOHEAD

[remurdereht]

I really love what Andy played on the telecaster. It's really creative and mind envoking.

[ChickenRapist]

Does this pedal have Repeat Trails when engaged in Buffered mode? Or is it just a simple, literal buffer/true-bypass switch.

[PBro75]

Does it work fine with fuzz boxes ?

i'm seriuosly considering to replace my old memory man,still great (i love it) but too noisy now.

Thank you.

P

[strunzgracie]

Anyone know the song at 5:45?

[MarcussOblivion]

What is the song from 2:50 - 4:20 ?!?!?!

[riffage]

Did anyone else think Andy was going into some psychedelic take on 'Dueling Banjos' at 3:47 ?

[theRaviShankarDas]

I'd love this pedal if it wern't so ugly

All the classic pedal designs have been simple

[Seishinbunretsusho]

Something tells me this would be right at home in a synth rig.

[CampBuzzo]

I love how the new format is part gear review and part guitar lesson. Everything seemed to "pop" more with the red background though. Meh. You guys keep cranking them out and I;ll keep watching!

[natewillmusic]

what song is he playing at 5:47 i have to learn it!!! lol

[ZachDRUMMOND]

This thing looks good. Next best thing to a DMM.

[Stringprodigy]

Hey Andy, with the modulation all the way off, does it sound like the normal 616, or is it always a lo-fi kind of sound?

[mmike189o]

This sounds so much better than the dd7, AND its cheaper. Winning.

[w00p678]

Fuck yeah National Anthem :D

[ergummer]

what kind of tele is that? i absolutely love it...

[Stringprodigy]

Oh noes, Andy's falling into a black tone hole!!!! Wait, that's a good thing! :)

[TheEvilRobot69]

What is the song starting at 2:50, the drone effect one? it sounds amazing!

[bigfish0886]

Too cool! You should have played Holiday in cambodia with this pedal!!!

[bigfish0886]

Too cool!

[mickeymarquez]

Said it once and i´ll say it again, Andy is so good damed..., no disrespect to the other PGS guys by the way.

[Teutonic1250]

radiohead! i love you for using this song!

[takeittothemall]

i get that if you add a whole bunch of extra features to this pedal it becomes a different animal at a different price point than what was intended. still, it would have been really nice if it were equipped with expression pedal jack so that you could use an expression pedal to bring the oscillations in and out hands free.

[jumbz2]

liking the new format of the vids PGS. Being able to see andy play is awesome.

[UncleWiggler]

RADIOHEAD ------> EPIC WIN (pgs rules of course)

[AphoticAgony]

lol devi.. love that guy

[tomiclav]

this would work great for a post-rock experimental guitarist!

[ApathethicJustice]

i always thought your voice was like done by a computer or something,, well not like a computer, kinda like james earl jones and that.

[wilfredomiguelcastro]

I hear Radiohead!

[cahaveit]

@wilfredomiguelcastro ahhh, me too.

[FallDownDontGetUp]

2:50

Fire Fire by Volcano!'s starting chord!

[johnloveinvan]

Really too bad about not having tap tempo or a display LED for the repeats. I would have bought it right away had it had this.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@johnloveinvan  And it would have nearly doubled the price. You could say the same about the MXR Carbon Copy.

[antihax91]

@johnloveinvan Tap tempo requires digital control. That's why most digital delays have it, and as far as I know, only one analogue delay has it (made by ElectroHarmonix. The delay time control must be digital)

[dairniel]

@johnloveinvan It does have a LED for the repeats. And a tap-tempo would detract from the analog circuitry.

[jjulch]

Very sweet sounding effect, just not sure how useful it is to most blues and rock environments...

[DarrenDoo]

Andy your guitar playing in this video is top notch. Wow...great pedal too! Will be ordering soon! Limited numbers?

[theShowStopper321]

Tone wise, what's the difference between this and the regular 616? Are the repeats still kind of clean like they were on the real 616? Does it tame the high end bite that the buffered mode added to the 616?

[Natesmitguitar]

I'm surprised that, despite this pedal's incredible sonic versatility, a tap tempo button was not added!

[henry12350]

do you think you guys would ever do bass stuff? you wouldnt have to do it as much as your guitar stuff. just some for a few of the bass pedals that come out. i'd love to see that.

[morganchavis]

@henry12350 search YouTube for "bassguitarmag". Ed does some good reviews on bass pedals, amps, and basses. Check it out.

[henry12350]

@morganchavis haha already a big time subscriber bro. love his work. though he demos stuff the magazine sends him, you guys do whatever's in stock.

[doc998]

is so awesome

[ImMadeinNZ]

Oh wow that sounds nice. Sounded like so many recordings. That slapback sounded a bit like ealry Pink Floyd.

[andretoyo]

Wow I love my 616 but this new version sounds crazy too, more psycodelic than mine I guess... IMHO. Great Cheers!

[skoobydew20]

What's the song ur playing with slapback

[DanielandFriends]

National Anthem by Radiohead! Classic tune

[skoobydew20]

What's the name of the song ur playing 2:00

[hawg427]

Coming from a Photographic background you may want to add a slight background light not much just enough to add a little separation between Any and the Stack Black background. Black sucks up a lot of light. This way Any doesn't look like he's a cutout. If ya know what I mean. Instead of the other competitors borrowing your almost trademark Red background they should try and borrow your audio recording techniques, YouTube would be a better place for it. PGS has set the bar very high,great job.

[LainOfTheRealWorld]

@hawg427 Nah just needs a starfield design so it looks like he's flying "IN SPACE"

[DemoColorScheme]

@hawg427

Very much agreed! I dislike the new black background. Kinda makes it too dark and lacks ambiance.

[robostomo1]

i wonder what the qr scanner bit takes you to c:

[GTRJohnny66]

Space cowboys!

[youenjoy00myself]

This, or the regular 616...guess I will just have to buy both...

[Crodon]

Is that a QR code on the pedal? Does it really work?

[xmarifulx]

Seems like a pretty badass pedal.

What's the oscillation like on this compared to the original?

[bigjohnnygee123]

It's fantastic that we get to see both Andy and the pedal in the new style. Good job!

[HeNdRiXIzGoD321]

I honestly smiled when i heard radiohead in the intro

[EpictheEpicest]

how could you do a "spacey" reverb/delay without soothsayer or a pink floyd song? :p

[rocawearboi09]

This Demo was perfect..

[AvonJunkies]

I was thinking it was time for a 2nd delay pedal in my board

[AvonJunkies]

oh. my. god.

[juanpa1979X]

Love the echo effect and the leads and chords Andy does between 4:32 to 5:37

are they from a popular song? :D

[HackDaTank]

the video is just too good for a pedal promo...even a good pedal promo...

[musicmatty67]

Well..like anything..a bit complex sounding @ first %*#@#...but interesting and Andy can play anything and make it sound useful.

[Duif2]

Those are some spacy sounds! 5:34 sounds like the intro of Megalomaniac from Incubus :)

[MonkeyZo0]

I like the new style. Need some cash for a Tele asap.

[sphinnix]

wonderful

that's what i was searching for

[777jordan]

919?

[boringmachine]

the Drone Delay part reminds me of Ibanez DE-7. cool!

[TheSchoolsux345]

nation anthem oh my garsh

[xxletsxxgetxxfreaky]

sounds like something Tool would use. :)

[ArielsSmartyPants]

Love the new style video for pedals. Good Job pgs.

[Gibnah97]

really, everyone? the point of these videos is to be able to hear the pedal. why is the color of the background relevant at all?

the pedal sounds incredible and so does that gibson.

[dlheidemann]

I like the backdrop - it's good to change things up. But y'all need to light Andy better... The black really soaks him up. Oh and might that competitor be Nstuffmusic...? ;-)

[vileguile4]

Great demo guys! I like the new look :)

[ChablesMan]

I don't mind what colour the backdrop is. PGS is amazing, and that's all that counts.

[DemoColorScheme]

I like it. It seems to sound a whole lot better than the regular 616, which I thought was a bit too clean and perfect.

This one reminds me of a vintage AD-9 with increased delay time, which gets this ringmod-like tone when you over-clock it.

[makaronke]

what song from 1:35 is???

[TheKaappari]

sounds like something from a porcupine tree record

[ajdambro]

I always try to get my Memory Boy to ring out like at 3:55 while I play over it. Never works. I like the sound of this!

[willemkerpel1]

I don't know what it is, but this is one of your best videos!

[SasaYamaoka]

Maybe some green or deep blu background would be better?

[finndesolace]

What type of Gibson Les Paul and year is that he's playing?

[DementedSquirel]

Why did Malekko discontinue the chicklet?????????????

[furcifur3]

This delay sounds amazing. I know what the next pedal I buy will be.

[Sidus666]

What's that backing track before Andy starts playing? 0:00-1:30? It's amazing!!

[BEFEGE]

@Sidus666

the national anthem by radiohead

[BEFEGE]

the national anthem by radiohead!!

[SchoolofSoul]

Where's Andy? *bumps into Andy in the dark, trips, steps on his toe, falls down on top of him to an electric cacophony* Oh damn, sorry, man, what are you doing here playing in the dark? I can't see you! Andy? Where'd you go, man! I was just - *trips over Andy again, slams into his amp with a big crunch*

[RowenCx4]

PGS dont listen to any of these dicks...you guys are the best at what you do, i mean really hands down.

keep doing your thing.

[benzakonium]

The QR code on the decal doesn't work... they missed a trick there. Could have been a great way to link to a site with suggested settings etc.

[pinkfloydfan5]

is andy in a band? cause i'd tottaly listen to them

[Zombiekeks]

That sounds sweet! Especially the feedback.

[moucon]

Hey - we just resist change. That's why analog delay pedals and tape echos (the stuff we were trying to ditch as fast as we could for digital) 25-30 yrs ago so we could have longer delays and NO FLUTTER are now de rigueur - and the more the nostalgic flutter and dirt - the better ;-)

[MigelMeUp]

fuhuhuuuuuck. I want it so badly. I don't know whether to buy this with my next paycheck or to buy my new microphone for recordiiiing... D: How much is shipping to Australia's cost? Including customs that is... :O

[Drummerboy554466]

What happened to the "play first, talk about it later" thing?

[NvnLikeAnyOther]

This pedal.

I need it.

[ejh9464]

Andy, you should use an ES 335 in some demos for those of us who prefer the tone of a semi-hollow body guitar.

[ryandevison]

RADIOHEAD!!! fuck i was just listening to them before i watched this.

[jldkrank]

Oh for fender sake, still comment pending approval.

[marvelboy04]

lofi 919??

[devieverfx]

Hey, that's me! :D

[seifukusha]

so, THATS what you look like!

[trancered]

Whats with the QR code on the front of the pedal? :)

[TheFunnyzach]

I think I have a man crush on Andy.... I'm not even gay :(

[CaptainErn]

i've wondered this since the first 616 came out: does the buffer mean it has trails?

[eggnog4073]

the national anthem.

[papersun87]

FOR THE LOVE OF PETE JUST GIVE US THE 919 ALREADY

[desiderodeum]

@papersun87 I agree!!

[kuringmundo]

that slapback scares the hell out of me. in a good way.

[edadmartin]

Andy does have a beard, but this was shot at 5am! hehehe!

[edadmartin]

wow awesome pedal! Andy loves to tweak those knobs,love seeing that ! hehehe!

[timelmore2]

We are here to see you guys play. The box doesn't do much. If I can see what you are playing I have a better idea of what you are sending through the pedal. This is the perfect format.



[TheArabmobile1]

haha! i live in portland!!!

[artgonewrong]

Sounds great....and, yeah, Andy....hairy arms DO keep your tone warm!!!!

[InspiredProphecy]

Sounds awesome

[naazrael]

i always pictured you with a beard in my mind, Andy.

different style of video, but i like it just the same. it's fun seeing you play rather than just look at a non moving pedal, haha.

[ChickenRapist]

Keep the velvet, but this new format is a godsend!

[theShowStopper321]

What's the tonal difference between this and the regular 616?

[LeeChavezMusic]

And no delay pedal demo from PGS is complete without Andy making it sound like the ALIENS ARE COMING!

[LeeChavezMusic]

SO MANY LIGHTS! And it sounds amazing!

[theShowStopper321]

Will the modulation always have the ring modulator effect? I don't really dig that for my style of play.

[lucradiste]

That thing is crazy, I am pretty sure I time travelled while watching this demo. But don't ask me what happens because if I tell you they will kill me.

[arifreeman]

It's very cool. It would be nice if it allowed separate wet and dry outputs for use with two amps.

[mmike189o]

Andy is God.

[odieistderbeste]

I think this is a new era. better than everything, newer, more beautiful, perfect.

[twistedH3L1X]

Interesting, but I wouldn't trade over from my "normal" Ekko616 which sounds incredible. My "normal" 616 even keeps the Eventide off of my board.

[Wzwain]

I liked the red velvety backdrop better guys, why'd ya change it?

[MrSpaceFlunky]

@Wzwain

I agree. More Pedal, Less Andy on the screen.....the pedals are why i watch these. Not that Andy is bad looking or anything. ;o)

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@MrSpaceFlunky We got hundreds of people requesting this style of video. You guys are a fickle bunch.

[GraniteOverworld]

@ProGuitarShopDemos I don't care for it much, purely because it's a little harder to see the pedal itself. Though it doesn't really matter, for pedal videos I see little point in taking the focus off the pedal at all. But it's your show, and we'll respect the decisions you make.

[MrSpaceFlunky]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

i really dont care what you guys do. I just think that the pedal should be in the forefront not andy. I do love watching him play tho. Also, because it puts into perspective how the pedal reacts to a certain type of playing. Thanks for all the great demos. The LoFi is totally on my GAS list now.

[TheArabmobile1]

@MrSpaceFlunky NOOOOO ANDY IS AMAZING!!!

[Livinginthemusic1]

@MrSpaceFlunky LEAVE IT THIS WAY STOP JUST LOOIKING AT THE STUPID PEDAL FUCK YOU MRSPACEFLUNKY

[Guitarisforgrins]

@MrSpaceFlunky

I watch to see Andy play...

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Wzwain One of our competitors "borrowed" our red curtain look. So we decided to change it up a bit. Change is good.

[GuitarBlues3]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Jet City Music?

[theeholliday]

@ProGuitarShopDemos they sure did, I'm glad to not be the only one who noticed.

[eggnog4073]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Andy in space background please.



[tylerdwells]

@ProGuitarShopDemos You guys have competition?

[jldkrank]

@ProGuitarShopDemos NSTUFFMUSIC! Mark lucas has nice jazz licks, but he just seems to not care as much as you guys do.

[Eoon]

@ProGuitarShopDemos This pedal sounds so sweeeeeeet! And Andy's playing in this episode was just purely outstanding :)

About the stolen look - you guys could film in front of a wall of blackface Fender amps. That would make one tasty background :D

[TubeFil]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Andy is still the bees knees of these videos.

[HitmanJenkins1]

@ProGuitarShopDemos I know EXACTLY who they are, can't believe they would do such a thing!

[Tibbon]

@ProGuitarShopDemos Just as long as you don't steal the "in an overloaded obsessive compulsive studio" look that we've got in our videos.

I really dig this pedal. I thought I was set for delays with the El Capistan (and others) but I'll probably have to grab this one too.
