What it does

EchoVibe is a low-cost delay from Audio Assault, built to be easy to use while still offering plenty of options. The developer's stated aim was a delay that would "ignite the creative spark" and invite experimenting.

Delay effect: an original design rather than a model of a particular tape, analog or digital unit.
Controls: described by the developer as "a wealth of options and controls", but the product page does not list them by name.
Workflow: a single-window interface meant to stay out of the way, so you can set up echoes quickly and keep working on the music.
Creative focus: aimed at experimenting with echoes as an effect rather than at precise, technical studio delay setups.

KVR lists version 1.1.0. Neither page states a demo, and Audio Assault's own page gives no full feature list, so check the developer's videos before buying.

When to use it

EchoVibe is a pick for when price matters more than depth. It costs a fraction of EchoBoy or Timeless 3. It has nothing like EchoBoy's range of modeled vintage echo styles or Timeless 3's modulation routing, and Audio Assault documents far less of what it does. Compared with Comeback Kid, another simple, character-focused delay, it is cheaper but much less documented, so judge it from the developer's videos rather than from a spec sheet.

Best for: quick creative echoes on a tight budget.
Genres: any; it is a general-purpose delay rather than a genre-specific one.
Look elsewhere if: you need modeled tape and analog echoes (EchoBoy), deep modulation and filtering (Timeless 3), or a well-documented all-rounder (ValhallaDelay).
