These aren’t as common as the mighty Roland Space Echo, but the quality is every bit as good – and they have a great sound of their own. The versatile mix options that allow adjustment of the balance between echo and spring, and how much dry/wet signal goes into the reverb make this a very creative tool.
This unit is for sale fully serviced by our highly experienced tape echo tech, fitted with a new tape and sounding fantastic. The heads look and sound in excellent order.
(Please note: some crackle from pots may develop over time when equipment has not been used – even during shipping – this can usually be easily rectified either by use or judicious application of suitable switch-cleaning spray).
In very good cosmetic condition. The face is very clean with some minor dings and a scratch below the VU meter. The tolex is slightly scruffy with some sections damaged and re-painted black. Internally, this unit is clean with some oxidation showing around the chromed areas. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
220/240v unit. A step-up transformer will be required for use on 110/120v supplies. Please ask if you need advice on what to use. We do not recommend using cheap, generic Chinese mains transformers.
