It is closely related to the legendary British Watkins Copicat and combines genuine tape echo with unmistakable vintage character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn endless ¼-inch tape loop passes across multiple playback heads, producing warm, organic echoes that become progressively darker and more textured with every repeat. The slight movement and natural degradation of the tape create the depth and modulation that modern digital delays try to emulate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe unit features two independent inputs with separate volume controls, making it suitable for guitar, vocals or other instruments. The Swell control adjusts the echo level, while Reverb controls the amount of feedback and number of repeats. The Halo, Eko and Repet switches provide different echo patterns and can be combined for everything from short slapback to dense, atmospheric multi-head repeats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original two-tone carrying case is included and forms part of the unit itself.
