The Korena take
Ghost Echo V3 recreates the character of older amp-top spring reverb units with controls that move from short pre-delay to much longer space. Attack sets 30–150 ms of pre-delay, letting staccato notes produce slapback-leaning trails while legato playing reveals a larger ambient effect. Dwell governs both decay length and density, reaching self-oscillation at its highest setting. Depth sets the wet/dry balance. Electronic relay switching provides true bypass, and the pedal will not pass audio when unpowered.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Setting short pre-delay for staccato parts with slapback or echo-like reverb trails.
- Using longer decay and higher mix settings for broad ambient guitar passages.
- Creating self-oscillating reverb effects with Dwell at its maximum setting.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Use with power supplies above 9V DC.
- An unpowered signal path, because audio will not pass without power.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can Ghost Echo create slapback-style effects?
Yes. Its Attack control offers 30–150 ms of pre-delay, and staccato playing produces slapback- or echo-like trails.
02What happens with Dwell at maximum?
The reverb enters an infinite self-oscillation loop.
03Does it pass audio without power?
No. Audio will not pass when the pedal has no power.

1 detailsSound
- Power
- The Ghost Echo should be powered by a standard 9-volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise. Do not run at higher voltages!
