Offered for sale here is this ESE Echomatic VI in good condition and excellent working order (see photos for full details).

It sounds amazing: the engineering and build quality on this machine are second to none. Designed and developed by Eric Snowball of ESE Music, the Echomatic was aimed to create the sounds and effects of the Binsons and Meazzis with great attention to detail and quality. There’s no denying that he achieved his goal. 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. The aim had been to produce the ultimate tape delay; this is an exceptional-sounding machine that performs to the highest standard.

This machine is in good condition and has just had a full service – the head positions had previously been modified to replicate the Shadows’ ‘Wonderful Land’ sound, but we found that this was causing severe levels of hum due to the proximity of one of the heads to the motor, so it has been put back to the original spacing.
