Timeless Classic Reborn
Experience the dreamy sound of a classic ‘60s single head tape echo, complete with the harmonic
richness of the accompanying tube preamp. Initially inspired by our long history of research into
tape-based echo designs, we brought it to the next level after the recent acquisition of a pristine
tube-based unit that was extensively modified by one of the most storied gear techs of the last fifty
years. The result is the most inspiring tape echo ever crammed into a small form factor, positively
brimming with the gooey magic that only tape-based manipulations and imperfections can create.
