A classic effect, built for modern users - the EF-X2 combines the sounds you know and love with features and reliability unimaginable in the past. In designing the EF-X2, the team here at Echo Fix started with the knowledge and insight gained from our work as the world's leading experts in spare parts, servicing, and repairing vintage tape echo units. Simply put, we know how tape echoes should sound and operate.
We spent three years prototyping, rigorously testing, and meticulously designing in secret—while considering every possible application. We couldn't find a new production motor good enough, so we made our own and invested in the latest high-tech machinery to custom balance them in-house here at Echo Fix. We could not find tape heads that sounded good enough, so we had custom tape heads manufactured to our exact specifications.
One of the other important things when it comes to reliable tape echo operation is the tape loop. We thoroughly researched tape and have a tape formulation that not only lasts a very long time but sounds incredible as well—that’s how far we were willing to go to make the EF-X2 reliable and sound great!
What we have built is a warm-sounding tape echo with a modern feature set that fits perfectly in the professional recording studio, live guitar rig, bedroom production setup, or any other context you can imagine. We can’t wait for the EF-X2 to become an integral part of your creative process.
- Three front panel color options - Blue, Black, and Vintage Green.
- Four core functions - Tape echo, Real Spring Reverb, DSP Reverb/Chorus, and Preamp.
- Vintage FET EP Guitar Preamp (featured on Andy's demos) and Modern FET Line Input Preamp (both with 1Meg impedance perfect for guitar). This gives you two preamp tones. Allows use of an ABY pedal (not included) to switch between both preamps.
- DSP Reverb and Spring Reverb blend setting. Also allows Spring Reverb and Chorus blend.
- Switch that converts the reverb section to chorus. This lets you switch back and forth between Reverb and Chorus effects.
- Independent inputs (and level controls) for instrument-level and line-level applications, plus balanced input and output at the rear.
- Three echo playback heads, and a Sound On Sound head giving 14 head combination settings in total.
- Adjust the echo's Time and Feedback with Control Voltages (CV 0-5 volts) and compatible Expression Pedals.
- Bass and Treble control of the echo signal.
- Motor ON/Switch for tape slow-down effect—or to conserve tape when only using the EF-X2's reverb or preamp.
- Mute the reverb or echo signal with a dual footswitch pedal.
- Comes with a worldwide-compatible, 100 - 240v power supply (no step-down or other transformers required).
- Built tough to last, by someone who’s repaired and upgraded more tape echo units than you can possibly imagine!
- 2 Years Warranty for all pre-sale purchases with peace of mind that this is made by a company that has been operating for over 10 years specializing in tape echo repair and spare parts.
- High-quality scratch-resistant front panel.
- 2 Tape loops supplied with each unit.
