With the new EC-1<\/strong>, Strymon has brought a classic tape echo from the 60s into a compact format. Initially inspired by Strymon’s long history of research into tape-based echo designs, we brought it to the next level after the recent acquisition of a pristine tube-based unit that was extensively modified by one of the most storied gear techs of the last fifty years. The result is the most inspiring tape echo ever crammed into a small form factor, positively brimming with the gooey magic that only tape-based manipulations and imperfections can create.<\/p>\n<\/div>
