Maestro Echoplex probably an EP-3

I had a chance to play around with one <gulp!> 45 years ago. A buddy let me play around on his Rick 12-string, and a friend of his showed up with this Echoplex box. I was high and got lost in this little black box for several hours. Even that long ago, I was fascinated that it was just a tape loop and not a bunch of electronics.

IK Multimedia makes a great emulation as part of their T-Rack S plugin suite... the "Echoflex" (lol):

And its on sale this month for $29. I've downloaded the T-Racks CS when I purchased AmpiTube Max but it only comes with 1 EQ that I never use. Maybe my next project is Surf Guitar.

The longer hair guy is fantazing about the shorter hair guy - the shorter hair guy with the cap is trying to figure the correct delay time - considering the hardware nature of the studio their in - he’s probably patched into a channel - BTW Its an old Echoplex - from the light on it looks to be a EP3 - and they are tape delay boxes - have a sound you may or may not like - and are a PIA to maintain.

He is adjusting an Echoplex. The Echoplex is a mechanical analog tape delay device that came out in the 60’s and was very popular during the 70’s nd today is a very popular outboard tape delay studio device.

Hey Scott, welcome aboard and all that but holy shite. No really, I've got some 20 something year old posts I'd love your perspective on. The minute I decide to take a break from this place, I get tons of notifications on these long dead posts. Enthusiastic much?

Did you read the thread at all? Asked and answered but go ahead and have at it.

I'm out and will turn off notifications.

It was on the front page of my Home Screen page. I was just responding to what I was being fed….

dude funny stuff..45yrs ago....I was just scouring over 96 pages of plugins only made it through 4....

theres something extra amazing with real gear, but then maybe thats just my age too?
plugins are off the charts a gazillion times more practical and can be slapped on unlimted tracks...but theres no reason to sit on the floor then and zone out turning knobs or finding the sweet spot of the potentiometer that doesnt crackle and pop...

Scrolling constantly through menus is exhausting. Plugging and patching in hardware and turning real knobs and faders is exhilarating.
