Silver front-panel EF-X3 Chorus Echo with analog BBD chorus, spring reverb, stereo playback outputs, and vintage tape delay tone. Built in Australia for unmatched reliability.
The Echo Fix EF-X3 Desktop with Silver Front Panel delivers the iconic sound and feel of a true analog tape echo, enhanced with modern reliability.

With individual playback head outputs for stereo ping-pong effects and a dedicated Sound-On-Sound head for extended delay, the EF-X3 is as creative as it is musical. Built in Australia with a rugged metal lid and a clean Silver finish, it's a perfect balance of vintage character and contemporary design for studio or stage.
