Product Overview
The Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, although inspired by Market Electronics’ Echoplex of the early to
mid-‘60’s, is a far more evolved design which eliminates all of the noise, inconsistencies, and
reliability issues associated with the old Echoplexes.
Some of the TTE’s features include:
1. 1 x 12AX7 Tubes for Record, 1x12AX7 for Playback, 1 x 12Au7 (use only JJ brand Tube)
for the Bias Oscillator (Erase) section.
2. Mono and ((Stereo)) outputs with 3 distinct stereo image choices!
3. DC on the Tube filaments for no-hum operation.
4. Torroidal Transformer for low EMF, quiet operation.
5. Brushless/3 phase DC Servo Motor for reliable, quiet tape transport.
6. Blushless DC Fan to keep the whole thing running cool.
7. Nickel-plated steel with all stainless-steel hardware, every bolt and spacer.
8. Super-Tough Baltic Birch-ply cabinet with Blonde Tolex covering.
9. Proprietary Erase, Record, and Playback heads designed to outlive you.
10. All Hand-Wired point-to-point Audio pathway. All Handmade in the U.S.A.
11. Heavy duty Cordura Nylon Carrying bag w/ wood inserts for extra protection, and a handy
carrying strap.
12. 2-Speed operation (with trimmer adjustment) for a choice between Hi-Fi or Warm Vintage
sounds.
13. Adjustable Tube-Powered Volume Control for up to 25 dB volume-boost.
14. A Tone control affecting the Repeats only.
15. Our own Echo Tape Cartridge (ETC-1) is loaded with Mastering quality tape and designed
to last many months, unlike the few weeks you get from other Echoplex-type cartridges.
This is a direct replacement for all Solid-State and Tube Echoplexes ever made.
16. True Bypass toggle switch for setting the right Volume for your rig as well as a 1/4" jack for
“Echo Cancel” allowing you to keep the TTE’s Tube Preamp in the signal path at all times.
