Description
The Echo Fix EF-X3 Table Top Tape Echo is a masterclass in analog tape delay, delivering rich, immersive tones with enhanced versatility and reliability. The EF-X3 Table Top builds upon the legacy of Echo Fix EF-X2, incorporating top-requested features that push the boundaries of traditional tape echo. With an entirely analog signal path, including an authentic BBD chorus and a classic spring reverb, this unit creates lush soundscapes ideal for producers, guitarists, bassists, and audiophiles alike.
One of the standout innovations in the EF-X3 Table Top is its individual playback head outputs, which allow each of its four playback heads to be routed independently. This unique feature enables incredible stereo imaging from a mono source. The unit also features Sound On Sound (SOS) mode, adding another layer of creative possibilities by letting users layer echoes independently over any of the heads.
Beyond its advanced sound design options, the EF-X3 Table Top is engineered for longevity and ease of use. The auto tape stop circuit extends tape life by stopping the motor when no audio signal is detected, and it can be toggled off if you prefer continuous playback. High-quality construction elements like a scratch-resistant front panel, wood side panels, and a removable tinted acrylic lid ensure both a durable build and timeless style, with silver or black front panel options available to match your setup.
With precise tone controls, including rate and depth for chorus and bass and treble for the echo signal, the EF-X3 Table Top has tons of built-in tools for shaping your signal. The front panel includes a vintage-style FET preamp for classic warmth or a brighter line preamp for modern clarity, selectable for the ultimate tonal flexibility. For further customization, the CV (Control Voltage) control lets you manipulate motor speed and feedback with an expression pedal, adding a hands-on, analog touch to your setup.
Whether you're crafting subtle textures or full-throttle self-oscillations, the EF-X3 Table Top takes your sound to new dimensions. Backed by nearly 15 years of Echo Fix expertise, this tape echo unit is a worthy addition to any musician's collection.
