zepps_apprentice Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I'm trying to find a pedal that best matches the original Echoplex. Any ideas? Quote
FireOpal Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Check out this clip of Ed from Monster Magnet playing a Memory Man (a new version, not the old thing The Edge used): http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=121145 It's not cheap though. Quote

The closest pedal I've seen, by far, is the Strymon El Capistan. Quite pricey, though it's worth every penny Quote
sixpense Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I'm trying to find a pedal that best matches the original Echoplex. Any ideas? Fulltone Tape Echo Fulltone is closest: but if you are looking for only a pedal repoduction of the "tape" sound, the guys at Strymon are super. Strymon El Capistan Quote

Strymon El Capistan Does the Fulltone have the extra +10 dB of clean gain that the original Echoplex had? Is that the main difference between that and the Strymon? Quote

I couldn't say about the Fulltone and the extra gain. (You may want to send him an e-mail) The strymon is basically a pedal (not like the Fulltone or Echoplex which uses actual tape) but the quality and variety of sounds it creates is outstanding. It does have several modes that produce a very authentic sound without the tape. I own this pedal and am amazed at its quality and variety. They also produce the most authentic Rotary pedal I have ever heard called the Lex. The link have video examples as well as a downloadable user manual. My link Quote

That might come in handy if I wish to replicate the Heartbreaker bass tone. Quote
