Vintage green tabletop tape echo with analog BBD chorus, spring reverb, and stereo head outputs. Built in Australia for unmatched reliability, tone, and creative flexibility.
The Echo Fix EF-X3 Desktop in Vintage Green is a premium tape echo that combines classic analog warmth with modern reliability. Featuring a 100% analog signal path with BBD chorus, spring reverb, and tape delay, it delivers lush, immersive textures that inspire creativity. Direct playback head outputs allow true stereo ping-pong effects from a mono source, while an independent Sound-On-Sound head provides extended delay times. Built in Australia with a rugged metal lid and finished in a striking Vintage Green colorway, the EF-X3 is both a sonic powerhouse and a visual statement piece for any studio or stage.
