It is neither dark and murky nor bright and sterile. Instead, GEKKO creates space and dimension around your sound, adding depth, movement and character without getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many modern delay pedals that focus on strict tempo matching and pristine repeats, GEKKO thrives on organic movement and musical unpredictability. Set unusual tempos, create layered textures and discover echoes that feel alive rather than programmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInspired by Classic Echo Machines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEKKO takes inspiration from legendary echo units such as the Echorec and Binson, carrying their musical spirit into a modern design. It is not a recreation of vintage gear but a reinterpretation that adds dimension, air and depth to your sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach repeat is carefully voiced to support the original signal rather than overpower it. The result is a spacious, organic echo that enhances your playing while remaining responsive and musical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo Restrictions on Your Creative Tempo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEKKO allows you to explore unusual and offbeat delay times without losing musical coherence. While many delay units require strict BPM matching, GEKKO remains natural and integrated even when set to unexpected tempos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis freedom encourages experimentation and opens the door to unique soundscapes, textures and rhythmic possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLayout \u0026amp; Controls\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 1 MΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 10 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9–12 V DC, 50–100 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery operation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not supported due to space and power requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional 9–12 V DC regulated adapter, centre-negative (BOSS standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGIMME switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e True bypass switching with blue status LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echo level from dry to fully wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echo time approximately 40–700 ms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Number of repeats from single echo to infinite oscillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall output level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlaze switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-way echo character selector – LoFi, Normal or Soft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWobble switch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tape-style flutter and repeat variation that responds to playing dynamics and pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight sensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambient light influences the wobble behaviour for additional interaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInternal Adjustments*\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory adjustment trimmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal configuration jumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003e* May vary depending on production day, version and serial number.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 × 94 × 53 mm (L × W × H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 425 g (0.99 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColour \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay vary depending on season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince February 2010: White finish with grey \/ silver print\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandmade in Sweden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Himmelstrutz creations, GEKKO is handmade in Sweden.

Rather than producing sterile and repetitive echoes, it introduces subtle variations that keep your tone alive, dynamic and engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt creates space around your notes, adding an extra dimension without masking the original signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMore Than an Echo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEKKO is not only an echo effect. With the MIX control turned down and the VOLUME control turned up, it becomes an excellent boost pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also create ambience similar to a reverb effect. Because GEKKO is not overly sensitive to exact tempo matching, it can often be set freely while remaining musical and easy to play with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking specifically for classic spring reverb territory?

It delivers echoes with personality, movement and dimension while remaining highly musical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you simply want an exceptional sounding boost, turn down the MIX, turn up the VOLUME and enjoy the ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e```\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Himmelstrutz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61995919278410,"sku":"16308","price":3795.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/9910\/7402\/files\/himmelstrutz-delay-himmelstrutz-gekko-1242695699.jpg?v=1780587492","url":"https:\/\/tgt11.com\/en\/products\/himmelstrutz-gekko","provider":"These Go To 11","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
