Developed and manufactured by Eric Snowball of ESE Music, the Echomatic was aimed to create the sounds and effects of Binsons and Meazzis with attention to detail and quality. I’d wanted to try one of these UK-designed and built machines for years, and when I finally got my hands on one I was far from disappointed – I still have the VI-R in the Soundgas Studio. This is a fine-sounding machine that performs very well and is by some distance the best modern valve tape echo I’ve yet encountered.
These machines were made in the 1990s so it’s not old tech. Has been checked over and set up our engineer. Working well and sounding great.
In excellent cosmetic condition with minimal signs of wear or age to the face. The case is also very clean with some minor scuffing around the edges. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
