Service kit exceeded my expectations. Tape echo sounds and works like new. Thank you.
Online videos don’t do this justice. They help don’t get me wrong, but you have to be in the room to really appreciate that aliveness. I ordered mine with the Erase Head Mod, which I absolutely suggest adding for anyone interested in this unit. The plethora of outputs, the CV controllable features, the sound (ahhh), the feedback, the preamp tone when pushed, analog chorus, real spring reverb all working together. Fantastic build quality. Fast shipping and great customer service. Thank you EchoFix.
Great replacement parts! Easy to follow.
Only recommendation would
Be better labeling on the felt but you should be able to figure it out.
Echofix is straight up the industry standard for tape echos and replacement parts at this point. Every dollar is worth it. This Capistan was plug and play into my modded 201 and worked after 15-20 mins of assembly, bringing one of my old rigs back to life.
The nut is exactly the same as the orignal ones, nicely packaged, as expected form this great shop. Thank you!
These are the best tapes you can get, the service the shop provides in products and communication is excellent. Thank you
I have the EF-X2 since 2 years now.
It never lost attraction even after 2 years.
Everything sounds better in it either with echo off using the preamp color, the reverb and/or the chorus.
It's bringing mood ideas and texture on every kind of playing and recording.
Thank you Echo Fix
Just got mine and am blown away. Well done! Sounds so natural and melts with your tone. Nothing artificial here.
I love my Fulltone Tape Tube Echo and am so grateful that Echo Fix now provides quality spares to keep it running well!
Unbelievable delivery speed to England. Thank you so much.

It's kind of hard to understand sometimes how much a tape can make a difference to the sound until you hear it firsthand. I got a Stage Echo SE-300 recently and it sounded like it was on its way out. After a set of these tapes, a quick clean like Shane has shown on his videos and a tape head degaussing, the unit sounded like it had just left the factory!
Beautiful tapes and excellent worksmanship. Well done and can't recommend it enough. Buy from echofix with no hesitation, your tape machine will thank you for it.
Echo Fix continues to deliver quality products from Tension Spring Arms to Tape Delays and other stand alone effects. They’re super responsive to tech questions and consistently provide great service.
Full recap has worked magic - great to have everything there without having to negotiate the thousands of options on mouser / digikey etc. Took some doing but levelled up my solder game in the process & got all switches jacks & pots cleaned / recalibrated it. Sounds better than ever (like it should.
These are the tapes that I am confident won't damage my SRE-555 as opposed to other that my just look fine.
Syrupy goodness. Love the ease of switching between chorus and vibrato. Resonance control is interesting and helpful with gain (keep it lower).
I saw Olafur Arnald using the MKI I believe in concert .. had to have one ;)
My 80year friend came over to show me the old ‘The Shadows’ setting .. he has used all the echos since the 1960s, but he is going home to purchase one of these on line.. I said what’s the main difference, he said very quite with a full bodied sound .. best he has ever heard apparently.
Oh I found it simple and very rewarding to use :)
