Just bought EchoBoy, and I love it!

Two very different tools. They are both very flexible. Echoboy is my weapon of choice for most delay applications where I am "crafting" a sound. bx_delay, or any one of several PSP delays are my choice when I want to create something a little off the beaten path. ************
It is very easy (at least for me) to end up with too many choices for delays!
I have Replica too, and would say that it does offer more customization, different kinds of delay characteristics etc. I never use replica because of Echo Boy. I can't talk about the others though.I was thinking about Echoboy too. Would existing owners say it brings anything significant to the table that others don't? I have Replika, Modnetic, Diffuse and Ableton's devices.

Replica allows you to add post fx like flanger plus it has ducking. Echoboy has more customizable styles (saturation etc) but overall they cover similar ground. I used echoboy for years but lately I’ve been leaning more towards replika which has a more modern and straight forward GUI. I have a gazilion delays but these two are among the best for sureI have Replica too, and would say that it does offer more customization, different kinds of delay characteristics etc. I never use replica because of Echo Boy.

Good to see. My posted uncertainty about adding Plugin Alliance /bx_delay 2500 includes M/S, ducking, distortion, chorus …. @ $39. …. vs Echoboy @ $49.
I enjoy Replika XT and hesitate to add unless there are notable enhancements.
Been looking at BX_delay for a while but it has a few serious limitations, does it even do ping/pong for instance? Only one algorithm etc. It´s not in the same league as Replika and Echoboy for sure. The only thing I´m really missing in all three really is a reverse delay effect and a scalable GUI.
Depends on what you need, good sir! The one I've used most is FilterFreak to destroy synth / bass sounds with heavy filtering and saturation. I don't have Decapitator but have played with it, and it's a nice saturator. Tremolator offers something unique due to the programmable (and swingable!) tremolo pattern.which soundtoys plugin is must have?
Kind of interested in decapitator. Is there a lot of overlap with Trash 2 (my usual go to)?
Not to go off-topic here but I find the Soundtoys color scheme kinda difficult to work with on a computer. Mostly black knobs on black panels, with some tiny white text with that 90s font.
I agree... the UIs are not great. But the sound is second to none, so it's worth the bad user experience IMO.
