For nearly 15 years, we've been keeping tape echoes alive. Now that we make
our own, our standards are higher than ever. Built by the same team to the
highest quality, this new machine includes many of our most requested features
and builds on the momentum and trust gained after 3 years of making the EF-
X2. Rest assured that your machine will be the most capable, reliable tape echo
on the market, supported by a team with some of the best customer service in
the industry.
We have designed this manual to assist in getting the best possible result from
your EF-X3. Please note the following and keep them in mind as you get to
know your unit:
•
The EF-X3 is an electromechanical, analog tape echo device. The echo is
produced by a tape loop engaging with multiple read and write heads,
CHORUS ECHO
therefore some inherent tape hiss and minor noise artefacts will always be
present. However, you can radically improve your signal to noise ratio by
ensuring your input signal is loud enough to reach '0' on the VU Meter and
cause your peak light to flash red. This will give you the best echo sound
quality.
•
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-X3.
•
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.
