ACE TONE EC-20 ECHO CHAMBERExcellent condition and working order - the grandaddy of the mighty Space Echo, an Ace Tone EC-20 Echo Chamber.This is a vintage Japanese tape echo, fully serviced and refurbished with parts replaced as needed to bring it up to a high standard of operation. We really like these forerunners of the legendary Roland Space Echo tape echo units - the slider controls lend themselves to being "played" maybe more than knobs.Ace Tone is the company founded by Ikutaro Kakehashi who went on to found the Roland Corporation - they are high quality machines with a really great sound.THE PRICE INCLUDES 20% VAT - CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION PLEASE USE BEST OFFER TO BUY AT TAX-FREE PRICE OF £550. VAT-free sales possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside UK) with a valid VAT Number - please contact us before making an offer if you have any questions about this. Please note that this is separate to any import duty which you may be charged - please contact your local tax authorities if you need more information about possible charges.Condition of this unit is excellent with only minimal signs of age. There are marks around the power switch, but other than that is just minor marks to the casing and some oxidation to the jack sockets and lid clips. See detailed photos for more information. It is a 100v Japanese model and will run fine on North American mains 115/120v without a transformer (we run all our tests using 120v power); however, a step-down transformer is recommended for extended use.
A step-down transformer is required in the UK/EU.
We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply a high quality UK-made unit if required - We also stock 6-way US/Japanese extension leads -
There are no known operational faults with this unit.
