Drawing upon years of experience refurbishing vintage tape echos from all over the world as well as developing their own custom replacement parts from pinch rollers to heads, Echo Fix have come up with their dream tape echo unit that not only tackles all the shortcomings and reliability issues of vintage units but adds features for the modern musician.
At the core of the EF-X2 is an all analog multi-head tape echo with a genuine spring tank. You can then mix in a separate DSP reverb or turn that into chorus which can add extra modulation to the tapes natural wow & flutter. Like the legendary Space Echo, the tape flows freely to avoid friction and hangups, while a custom motor morphs the delay time by speeding up or down, which can now be controlled remotely with great precision by CV or Exp. Plus, a custom preamp matches the guitar’s correct impedance as well as line level for other instruments and synths. Echo tone and mix are fully tweakable as well as the spring reverb mix and decay time/chorus depth of the DSP effects. Other features include footswitchable reverb and echo mute and a motor kill switch to not only save on wear and tear but give you classic UFO crash landing sounds anytime. The Echo Fix EF-X2 is hand-built in Australia with great attention to detail and high quality components to make this unit fully ready for the road in addition to the studio.

$2,000 plus. This has lawyer guitar player written all over it!
I have only one thing … Wow!
This unit is so cool, and what a great demo! Thanks Andy! Tempting to sell a couple things to fund this inspiration machine. Seems like an "all day pedal" to me 🙂
lmao why it look like a plugin tho… but sounds amazing
It's wonderful that Australia has nailed a classic modulation pedal before the Yanks.
Oh man… karma police
Sounds amazing
I still remember when you first posted a clip of this on IG, playing Walking On The Moon to show it off
Wow! Is all I can say right now.
Oh my, I'm in love!
That looks expensive. I’ll just bet that’s expensive.
The noise floor isn’t this high on my 201 but it sounds amazing.
I love tape machines. Nothing compares. I have the Fulltone model, but the Echo Fix seems to have some excellent additional features.
A bit too clean, id say.
That guitar though! Love that finish!
Tech support nightmare?

Holy hell I love that Jag Ultra!
One on Ebay for around $2300 and one on Reverb for around $1850.
Great one… I haven't seen a good guitarist using it. Until now, of course.
Looks cool, but who tf wants a digital reverb built into their tape echo?
Andy is like " Catalinwho?" Seriously I have watched a lot of his demo's and never him seen him so happy. Plus he really makes the most of the unit and handles it with aplomb, not like that's new though. I, on the other hand, would successfully make the unit sound broken; it's a talent.
This confirms a suspicion I've had for a while. I'm just not into the echoplex preamp sound. Thanks for that little comparison
Sorry. Wayyy overpriced
These things always sound so good!
Whoa …
Jesus, Andy…your playing is immaculate
you get me everytime with radiohead in intro
It’s sort of the best features of the 201, 301 and 501 combined
Is the intro The outro of KARMA POLICE?
About the price of a nice Integrated Amp… why not? I like the all black version!
Damn those Ultra Jazzmasters are sweet.
I’ve never once in my life have needed a loan shark…until now.
People seriously complain about the price? It's obviously not for some random coffeeshop gig. It's for the studio. You can spend 5 times on a microphone. If you think the digital emulation on your favorite delay is close enough, it's obviously not for you. You can't say the value isn't there just cuz it's expensive
It's….it's beautiful! I'd always be worried about sourcing new tape though. Does Ampex or such companies even exist any more?
Beautiful.
Beautiful!!!
What is the max delay time? I have a 201 so I'm assuming it's similar 600ms range. Thank you.
do dig the longer format??sound on sound wow.
great bit of studio kit and awesome Andy presentation
Uh WOW
Echo Police…
Yes
Andy is my favorite Porn Star
Sounds awesome but that name “Echo Fix” ayy
I bet this isn’t too expensive. Probably will sell a few of my behringer pedals and pick one up!
Edit: sounds amazing thanks for the demo!
I own a pristine 201 so don’t really need this…. but would be glad to accept one from the manufacturer to test and keep.
Sounds great! Luckily, I'm more than happy with my T-Rex Replicator.
Holy shit…..Absolutely incredible demo. I want one of these soooo bad now
Wow! Sounds amazing, ESPECIALLY with that Jazzmaster… Thanks Andy!
