Released December, 2016
The Echoplex was a tape delay effect first made in 1959. The Echoplex was hugely influential in 60’s and 70’s rock music and can be heard on countless records, including those by Led Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, Queen, and Van Halen. The Echoplex recorded sound on a magnetic tape loop which was then played back. The tape speed and distance between heads determined the delay and a feedback variable allowed for a repetitive effect.
