Description
The EC-1 Stereo Tape Echo is a modern tribute to the iconic sound of vintage ‘60s tape echoes, combining the warmth and character of analog tape with advanced digital technology. At its core is Strymon’s groundbreaking dTape system, which meticulously replicates every nuance of classic tape echoes, including the subtle mechanical imperfections, lush tape saturation, and organic modulation that define the genre. Whether you’re dialing in warm slapback echoes or expansive, feedback-rich soundscapes, the EC-1 delivers a strikingly gorgeous stereo image with beautifully tuned low-frequency response and sublime echo decay. The EC-1 guitar pedal features two authentically reproduced tube-modeled preamp voices, allowing you to add subtle vintage character to your input signal. With adjustable tape saturation, you can effortlessly transition from clean, pristine repeats to gritty, saturated echoes, capturing the full range of tonal possibilities. The pedal’s discrete stereo operation processes left and right inputs independently, making it a versatile addition to any stereo effects chain. Designed for both studio and stage, the EC-1 includes an artifact-free tap tempo for seamless rhythm control, MIDI compatibility for tempo adjustments and patch saving, and an expression pedal input for hands-on modulation. Its high-impedance, ultra-low noise Class A JFET stereo input preamp ensures exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamics, while the compact, rugged design is built to withstand the rigors of live performance. Additional features include a USB jack for firmware updates and computer control, ensuring the EC-1 remains future-proof. Whether you’re a guitarist, producer, or sound designer, the EC-1 Stereo Tape Echo offers unparalleled flexibility, premium sound quality, and the timeless appeal of vintage tape echo in a sleek, modern package. Elevate your sound with the EC-1’s lush, dynamic, and endlessly customizable tones.
