Product Description
What’s New In The MKII?
After several years of production, the Echo Fix team has taken the opportunity to add a number of useful improvements to the EF-X2.
Toggle Switch Access:
The Spring Reverb and DSP switches can now be operated from the front panel. This makes it easier to toggle between the various effect settings, whether that’s spring reverb, DSP Reverb, DSP Chorus or a blend between analogue and digital effects. Users can also see the settings at a glance, without opening the lid of the tape echo.
Rear Outputs:
The rear panel houses 3 TRS balanced outputs, allowing users to access a duplicate direct signal, a wet effect only signal (of the spring reverb and DSP), and the echo signal without the direct.
Auto Tape Stop:
The rear panel also includes the Auto Tape Stop On/Off toggle switch. This was designed to extend the life of the tape loop, motor, and roller, by disengaging these features when the echo unit is powered on, but not in use. With this switch in the ON position, the motor will turn off and the pinch roller will disengage after not receiving signal for approximately 5 minutes. Once the unit receives signal, the unit will operate as normal.
A classic effect, built for modern users - the EF-X2 MKII couples the sounds you know and love, with features and reliability unimaginable in the past. In designing the EF-X2 MKII, the team here at Echo Fix began with the knowledge and insight gained from our work as the world's foremost experts in spare parts, servicing and repairing vintage tape echo units. Put simply, they know how tape echos should sound and operate.
They spent three years prototyping, rigorously testing, and meticulously designing in secret - while accounting for every possible application. they couldn't find a new production motor good enough so they made our own and invested in the latest high tech machinery to custom balance them in house here at Echo Fix. they could not find tape heads that sounded good enough so they had custom tape heads manufactured to our exact specs.
One of the other important things when it comes to reliable tape echo operation is the tape loop. they thoroughly researched tape and have a tape formulation that not only lasts a very long time but sounds incredible as well, that is how far they were willing to go to make the EF-X2 MKII reliable and sound great!
