The iconic solid-state tape echo! These tape echos sound fantastic delivering a sweet, warm delay that can only be captured with tape. The Echoplex is a tape delay effects unit, first made in 1959. This sound device has set the standard for musical performance effects during past years and is still regarded as "The standard by which everything else is measured." The EP-3 enjoyed the longest production run of all the Echoplex models, being manufactured from 1970 until 1991. Original Echoplexes are highly sought after.
Notable users of the Echoplex include Duane Allman, Chet Atkins, Miles Davis, Brian May, Steve Miller, Gary Moore, Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, Neal Schon, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Walsh, Neil Young, and more.
The true magic lies in the preamp section which adds a great color to your overall tone serving as a beautiful buffer.
Our example for sale might require a bit coercing (due to being in storage for years).
I am acting as an agent for the 85-year-old owner of this item which he originally purchased.
This Echoplex unit may be viewed/purchased in Los Osos, CA.
Asking $1200.00 for this rare, vintage music piece.
