Coming up! Fulltone SS-TE... solid state tape echo ala the infamous EP-3 used by Page, EJ, etc. I get #1, Page gets #2, EJ gets #3... what # will yours be?
Part of what makes the TTE so expensive is all the Nickel plated and Stainless steel everything parts, with this "EP-3" I'm going to try and make it less-frills, simpler package, smaller size, I'm trying to go SMALL. looking to have a street price around $550-$600 but I don't dictate that, the tally of parts, labor, and misc does.
Here are the specs:
- 100% original EP-3 FET/Transistor Audio Path, run at 24 volts, the only way to the EP-3 sound.
- 8.75" x 5.6" x 3.25" diecast aluminum enclosure, (1/3 smaller than it's big brother the TTE)
- Relay operated true bypass (externally switchable via 1/4" jack) No sound loss, unlimited On/Off switch cable length!
- Electronic Servo controlled Capstan Roller (engages tape drive) operated by both on-board toggle or switch externally via 1/4" jack (again, any length cable) for when you want the EP-3 signal path without the delay
- Stereo outputs
- Power: 120 volt AC mains (detachable IEC 3-prong connector) with 24 volt DC internal operation.
Controls:
- Instrument Volume knob: Allows for unity or an increased Volume Boost.
- Echo Repeats knob
- Echo Time Knob (instead of a sliding head, variable motor speed determines delay time) offering a wider range of speeds from Plate Reverb emulation to well over 2 seconds. and you can still do the wild Echoplex spaceship sounds with ths knob.
- Multiple Playback heads for some of the most amazing Leslie/Chorus/Vibrato sounds I've ever heard and Polyrhythmic delay sounds.
