Gurus Echosex 3º

From Gurus Amps in Italy we have the new Gurus Echosex 3º, a beautiful reincarnation of the Binson Echorec in pedal form and successor to the well-regarded Echosex 2º.

Video demo below, with thanks to Buck and Evans’ YouTube channel.

Designed to replicate the sound of an Echorec 2, including the ‘Age Of Damage’ knob which adds the distinctive halo and warble of a deteriorating machine.

The Echosex 3º boasts a new set of features (compared the the Echosex 2) including the highly requested tap tempo feature.

From Chicco at GurusAmps:

In the 4 years since its debut, the Echosex 2° has garnered numerous awards and has been used by some of the world’s most legendary musician. The Echosex 2° has found a niche in the live shows and recordings of artists such as Steve Lukather, Joe Walsh, Alan Parsons, Doug Aldrich, Motorhead, Skunk Anansie, Adrien Belew, Bon Jovi, Albert Lee, PJ Harvey and many others.

However, even after such success, it has come time to update the beloved Echosex 2°. It is with great pleasure that we introduce the new and improved Echosex, the Echosex 3°.

• Higher Tube Voltage: Completely redesigned power section running higher tube voltage. Higher tube voltage means that the Echosex 3° can provide the optimum performance while avoiding input saturation from guitars or other instruments.
• Clean Filtering: The filtering section of the Echosex 3° has been cleaned up and redesigned allowing for the same rich sound of its predecessor, but with lower noise and enhanced dynamic response.
• Syncronized Tap Tempo: This has been one of the most requested features over the years. With the new synchronized tap tempo, you are able to set your delay time with ease and precision. Our exclusive tap tempo circuitry makes it the most precise tap tempo options on the market. The Echosex 3° features a self-calibration setting that reads the real-time delay from the brain of the Echosex, then perfectly fits it to the bpm you’ve chosen with the footswitch.
• New, “Magic Eye” Effect: enjoy the psychedelic mood..

The pedal comes a 2 year warranty from Gurus.

Please note that there’s no power supply included with the pedal: it takes a standard 9 or 12 volt centre negative supply (290mA max).
