Anthony Rubolotta designed the re-issue of the Slap-Back Echo pedal by Electro-Harmonix, a rarity from 1978.

The original version designed by David Miller used Marvin and the 2023 version uses Marvin Visions. And though the form factor is different, the layout retains a similar design which ties them together in time.

The secondary fonts used for the labels are Helvetica (1978) and Futura (2023). The Electro-Harmonix logo is based on Skjald, see the dedicated post.
