 ECHO-VERB Tape Echo "NOW Available" for hire from FX Hire
|
The glorious sound and feel of tape echo & reverb is back!
UK based Blue Coconut Ltd, manufactures of the ECHOVERB commissioned Terry MacDonald to design the unit from the ground up, and this is the result of 2 years of research and development. Terry was the right man for the job as a former freelance consultant for Watkins/WEM Company which built the successful COPICAT in the 60,s he has 38 years of experience with the technology making him one of the major authoritative figures in the UK on the tape echoes. Being a totally new design rather than a copy, the aim was to eliminate all the problems associated with the early tape echo machines, improving the performance, whilst retaining the unique analogue tape echo sound which has never been achieved through digital devices. Modern improvements for example include extremely low noise circuitry and the ability to select any combination of 6 available heads and a reverb which uses the tape producing an authentic & retro sound. Also, a precision custom made fly wheel ensures no noticeable pitch deviation (WOW and Flutter), compared to that of the old tape echo device. It also has a solid chassis with an authentic but contemporary look and gives function and reliability both for the gigging musician, and for a studio environment.The front panel has a Hi/Low gain jack input for instruments along with a separate jack insert and return for guitar pedals, and an echo on/off jack footswitch. On the rear of the unit, line level transformer balanced XLR’s are provided.
