Joshua Ambient Echo
This new MXR Joshua Ambient Echo pedal is a stereo delay based on classic rack studio effects. Offering tonal trips out of the ’60s and ’70s to the ethereal ambiance of
the ’80s soundscapes, according to the latest Jim Dunlop Instagram post earlier today.
Yes, this pedal is “influenced” by the U2 album The Joshua Tree and so expect some classic The Edge tones from this new echo effect.

Echo Controls
It has controls for Delay, Modulation, Voice, Regeneration, Division, and Mix, as well as Echo 2 and Trail buttons. The Division control offers five distinct delay patterns; 1/4 note, dotted 1/8 note, 1/8 note, 1/8 note triplet, and 1/8 note and dotted 1/8 note, and the Delay knob adjusts the timing of echoes from 50ms to 1000ms.

The Mix control is used for blending in the amount of wet/dry signal, and the Voice control sweeps a blend of polyphonic octave signals, from -1 to +2. The buttons control a tap tempo for Echo 2 that adds a second echo to the signal. Finally, Trails allows echoes to gradually fade out after the pedal has been switched off.
There is also a handy CTR jack input which allows an expression pedal to control settings for tap tempo.
