Product Description
Rapidly becoming a modern mix classic: a Telefunken Echomixer for sale serviced and modified - ready to put to work in the studio. Sought-after by award-winning producers, engineers and artists.
A testament to early sixties German engineering and build quality (although with the age of this tech we are having to use two of these for every one fully working one we produce now...).
This unit has been serviced and earthed for electrical safety and sounds fabulous: these units have a particularly smooth unspring-like sound when used lightly.
It can be a very clean-sounding unit but overloading the inputs can work wonders as you push the germanium circuitry.
Channel A is for unprocessed signals, Channels B & C pass through the spring reverb.
Please note that this is a very sensitive spring unit and will need to be positioned away from vibrations and knocks.

Of course it sounds great with guitars - but we've found it really shines as a studio effect with whatever you put through it: keys, synths, vocals, loops, beats... it has a character that is very had to replicate digitally and sounds great in the mix - almost plate-like (and of course you can always give it a little kick if things are getting too polite during the mix...).
Try using a little tape delay before sending to a spring reverb, or use a digital/plug-in reverb and send the wet output from that to the spring to add character.
