For over a decade, the Echo Fix team have serviced and repaired virtually
every model of tape echo unit ever brought to market. When it came time to
design and release our own, we endeavoured to avoid the faults and issues most
commonly observed in these other products. We humbly believe ours to be the
best-sounding and most reliable tape echo ever produced.
We have designed this manual to assist in getting the best possible result from
your EF-X2. Please note the following and keep them in mind as you get to know
your unit:
•
The EF-X2 is an electromechanical, analog tape echo device. While every
conceivable measure has been taken to limit noise, the echo is produced by
a tape loop engaging with multiple read and write heads. In consideration
of this, tape hiss and minor noise artefacts will be present, particularly when
pushing the preamp and running at slow delay speeds with multiple read
heads in use. These technical imperfections are inherent to "the tape echo
sound", and eliminating them would be impractical and defeat the point of
building this unit in the first place.
•
The EF-X2 has a real spring reverb tank that works alongside the DSP
(digital) reverb and chorus. The DSP reverb / chorus is modelled on our
favourite examples of these sounds.
•
When it comes to maintaining your unit, please use only genuine Echo Fix
parts and tape loops. Using anything other than Echo Fix tape loops will
void your warranty and could damage your EF-X2.
•
We are excited to offer CV control with the unit. Please do not use voltages
outside of the 0-5v range. Doing so will void your warranty and may cause
damage to the unit.
