Maestro Echoplex EP-3 This is an authentic Echoplex EP-3 (serial #246310), much favored by guitarist like Eric Johnson and Andy Simmons. I am the original owner, so I can give an honest appraisal of the unit. It was bought new about 40 years ago; I use it constantly live and in the studio for the first 15 years. After, it was used mostly for studio works and effects. In the latter years I had it maintained so the mechanics was functional due to less usage. Electronically it has stayed intact and has kept the characteristic sound of the echo and the trail like it was when I bought it. It’s noise ratio is still low since the bias was adjusted a couple years ago. If you would like to hear the Echoplex, I've made a demo using the different delays of the unit . Please contact me through the EBay message system and I will send you the link on Soundcloud.Mechanically there is only one minor issue of noise with one of the capstan which happens sometime after an hour of running the machine. It goes away without affecting the motor speed thought. It is recommended to have the unit have a good checkup on the mechanical parts if you planned using it on a regular basis, IOW it needs TLC. There’s no issue with the tape heads at all if you listen to the demo. Included with the unit is a never used authentic Echoplex tape made by Dunlop (see photo). The one used in the box is still very good and tape is steady with a very good noise ratio. The echo/off plug is working, no switch is included. Playback is also usable and can playback the recording of the tape. Tape loop is at least 3 minutes. No Return. The unit is sold as is and is well described in its current state. Any question please contact me Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not included as part of the charges of the auction. Note the shipping cost includes the handling fee. The unit will be well packaged and insured using Canada Post and USPS (for US residents) · I ONLY accept payments through Paypal · I ONLY ship to Canada or the US · The item will be shipped once the payment is received from Paypal. Payment is due within three days of the end of auction or Buy it Now.
