ECHO-2 Truly ANALOGUE Vintage  Tape Delay /Echo. Excellent working and visual condition!


Rare and interesting Soviet delay, dual-channel, with both having four time settings and four knobs to control parameters within each setting. Easy to incorporate into your system since it uses standard 1/4' jacks and a standard two-pin Euro mains lead(included). Some small marks on top and sides of metal body, but otherwise very good. 


Sounds extremely good! I don't afraid to declare that is is the best vintage analog delay in my hands, not only Soviet, but generally sound is very warm and in the same league as high end vintage Lexicon or AMS unit.



Firstly and mainly, this is not simple tape delay unit - there are two independent sections on each channel:  Reverberation and Delay. Due to long loops of tape, effect in reverberation mode is very wide, warm and unique - sound is not only like ordinary delay, but sounds like real reverb!

For each section there is level of four different delay times - 100ms, 200ms, 300ms, 400ms. High frequency EQ control knob.2 AUDIO In/ 2 AUDIO Out - You can create different settings for each channel and so You can use it as truly stereo 2-ch delay unit. This is extremely rare for tape units, normally tape machines are mono!The unit is powered by 220/240 V with standard voltage cable.
 Connection on the rear panel : INPUT1, INPUT2, OUTPUT1, OUTPUT2 with standard 1/4' jack, power wire connection (220/240V), fuse1, fuse 2 (0,5A) .

 ECHO-2 has been made in 1991  in USSR. Serial number #N00136.
These original models are getting rare and can bring big money.
Both potentiometers and switch was serviced before this auction and are clean on moving. Nwe tape replaced and also replacement tape is included with this auction /Also new Neutrik 1/4''jack sockets and new fuse connectors were installed.
Tape echo looks good for his age, and once again, technically it is in great condition!
