Echo
•Often there is no distinction between delay units and echoes.  What usually makes a device more of an echo is how it attempts to simulate a tape echo
–The feedback gain can be increased to be greater than unity.  This will cause the echoes to increase in volume and eventually saturate or oscillate
–The is some times a filter in the feedback loop to simulate the gradual deterioration of signal quality that would occur with a tape-echo unit.
–Sometimes the delay time is varied slightly to simulate tape warble.
