Telefunken EchomixerThis is a powerful early Sixties reverb and mixer with all-discrete components and an amazing sound. Channel A is for unprocessed signals, Channels B and C pass through the reverb. It's a clean-sounding unit for its age; it also sounds great when you overload the inputs. A great secret weapon in the studio. This one is in great physical condition for its age (most 55-year-old Germans don't look this good).My tech went through the unit from top-to-bottom. He:* switched the original DIN connectors to 1/4"* changed the power from the original 220v to 110v* put in a new power cord* re-capped the power supply* cleaned the slidersFrom the web:Spring reverbs are a great 'secret weapon' to have in the studio arsenal - not just for the 'boingy' effect as used by dub and reggae pioneers such as Lee 'Scratch' Perry, but also for adding that unmistakable classic shimmery vibe to electric guitars. It's a sound that lends itself well to modern production: the perfect treatment for overly-sterile digital delays and reverbs and it can be heard all over today's music. Whether it's cutting-edge dubstep from Rusko, or a top pop mix engineer like Tom Elmhirst (who used vintage spring reverb all over the last Adele album), the sound of springs is everywhere right now (check Alabama Shakes' album, Boys & Girls). Of course it sounds great with guitars - but we've found it really shines as a studio effect with whatever you put through it: keys, synths, vocals, loops, beats... it has a character that is very had to replicate digitally and sounds great in the mix - almost plate-like (and of course you can always give it a little kick if things are getting too polite during the mix...). Try using a little tape delay before sending to a spring reverb, or use a digital/plug-in reverb and send the wet output from that to the spring to add character. The Echomixer will be carefully and thoroughly packed, and it will be insured for its final sale value. For international buyers, exact shipping will be finalized after the auction ends.Please feel free to ask any questions. Small print below... U.S. buyers
