Monk Echo
The Mentha Works Monk Echo is the debut pedal from a new company founded by former staff members of Gamechanger Audio. It is a unique reverb and delay pedal (1ms to 10s delay) designed to blend lush spatial ambiance with vocal-like resonance, inspired by the sound of a choir of monks echoing through stone walls. The pedal's defining feature is its "Monk Voice" engine, which uses formant filters to emulate human vocal tones and vowel shapes, offering manual or automatic responsive vowel control, including male, female, and children choir timbres. Beyond vocal effects, it includes powerful sound design tools like granular pitch shifting, reverse delay, distortion, and a unique degradation effect. It also features a groundbreaking Macro Control system that allows players to morph entire soundscapes with a single movement. The Monk Echo supports tap tempo and MIDI clock integration.
