Introducing the Echo Fix EF-X3 Vintage Voice. Built on the EF-X3 platform, the Vintage Voice delivers the warmth and character of classic tape echo machines with hands-on control over every imperfection. Controls to introduce Wow and Flutter via sample-and-hold modulation to bring organic movement to your repeats, while an analog spring reverb section adds genuine vintage depth. An extended motor speed range allowing for slower delay times and introduces the lo-fi textures of aging tape. The Record/Erase Off controls unlock a live tape looping mode - disable the Erase head to hold your loop, then switch off the Record head and layer your performance on top. For players who want the real thing, and then some.

 

Key EF-X3 Vintage Voice features

  • Vintage-voiced echo repeats capturing the warmth and character of classic tape echos.
  • Wow & Flutter controls using sample-and-hold random modulation, breathing life and unpredictability into your signal for that authentic, living-tape feel.
  • Analog spring reverb section voiced after beloved vintage units.
  • Extended Motor Speed Range for longer delay times and gloriously lo-fi repeats.

  • Record/Erase Off controls unlock a live tape looping mode. Disable the Erase head to hold your recorded loop, then switch off the Record head and layer your performance on top.

  • Vintage Blue Front Panel 

 

100% Analog
Now with an Analog BBD Chorus & Analog Spring Reverb, the EF-X3 boasts a 100% analog signal path.

Individual Playback Head Outputs for stereo effect from mono source
Individual outputs for each playback head offer flexibility never seen before in a tape echo, with the ability to achieve a classic Stereo Ping-Pong delay effect from a mono source by panning each playback head externally via a mixer or DAW.

Unmatched Reliability
On top of this, we’ve implemented a new auto tape stop circuit to extend tape life.

Same Team, Same Peace of Mind
For nearly 15 years, we’ve been keeping tape echos alive. Now that we make our own, our standards are higher than ever. 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.

It’s Alive
If you’ve been in a room with one of our units, you’ll know what we mean by this. Used as an effect, they simply make everything sound better. But turn up the echo volume, dial in some feedback and watch as our unit self-oscillates into life and becomes an instrument more than an effect. The EF-X3 will change the way you make music.
