Do you love the Echoplex but hate the tape?

Well, here you go and from the inventor of the Echoplex no less:

Nice!

liquidsmoke · August 25, 2011, 01:42:37 AM

Sounds really good! The price seems pretty reasonable too.

Pundan · August 25, 2011, 02:55:32 AM

That sounds really good! Anyone beside me hate the fact that in all videos of delay pedals they always show you the great slapback echo you can get and not the swirly kind of stuff you'd like?

Juicy, junior, reeeal juicy.

welshchris · August 25, 2011, 07:51:31 AM

I want one!! Recently sold my DL4 and lovely Earthquaker Disaster Transport. I'm always a sucker for a good delay

whats this at the bottom? Designed and produced by former Krank Amplification founder TonyKrank (registered trademark).

Make one that does sound on sound and I'm sold.

What the hell's a "former founder?" He used to be the person that invented something, but now he's not?

Want.

Chovie D · August 25, 2011, 01:36:09 PM

actually I LIKE the tape, especially when it deteriorates a bit...

but that does sound good.
Im always skeptical of tube pedals..mostly they just seem to waft some minimal voltage over a tube to get it to light up....instead of applying plate voltages or whatever.

xayk · August 25, 2011, 01:51:30 PM

I dig that. I'll add it to the list of delays I'm lusting after (in no order: Snazzy Wow & Flutter, Malekko LoFi 616, Wampler Faux Tape, and Strymon El Capistan.)

Instant Dan · August 25, 2011, 04:38:22 PM

Tempting, would need to hear more if it is worth selling my old Deluxe Memory Man.

If you love the sound of the Echoplex AND the tape, get a Fulltone

Or a real Echoplex and probably a space echo all for less than the fulltone.

Hemisaurus · August 25, 2011, 10:47:51 PM

I love this video

NoSleepTilSleep · August 26, 2011, 01:58:41 AM

Strymon El-Cap Delay... Can't recommend it enough if you're chasin' tape but lacking a grand to drop on a vintage unit.

With pretty stellar sound-on-sound mode

clockwork green · August 26, 2011, 02:14:45 AM

For what it's worth I have an Echoplex and rarely use it. The TC Electronic Flashback is just so impressive with all of its sounds.

Jake · August 26, 2011, 11:03:59 AM

I've got a TC Flashback and am embarrassed to say that I have never done anything with it besides use it to sample/loop.

Do you think it can do all the stuff that Psychoplex can do? Because you've got me all hot and bothered for one of those now.

clockwork green · August 26, 2011, 02:39:13 PM

The Flashback is just so versatile plus there are a number of really unique delays with modulated repeats and such. It also has some really great straight forward delays lime the 2290. I will admit that I spend a lot of time fucking around with the dotted 8th note delays for my Edge joins an ambit, shoegazer band stuff. Some people just want a real simple delay and some people want insane tweakablility, the flashback is a nice blend.

I love the tape but can't afford one, and wouldn't know how to properly maintain it if I did.

And not have to put up with Mr. Fuller's porsche-funding pile of crap.

That strymon's on my shortlist. The Carbon Copy I've got is great for what it is, but I want more features and doodads.
