Still back ordered but at the price I picked it up for, I'd be stupid not to wait several weeks to see what happens. Meanwhile I'm watching demos. I believe this was designed by Howard Gee before the founder died and things got mucked up a bit.

Over the years I have had some incredible gear that I have no idea what I did with. One of those peices of gear was an Echoplex Tape Delay I had in high school that was the best delay I've ever used. I used it in a band we called 74 LTD and that's the last I remember of it being in my rig and that band went away shortly after I graduated. Some of that old gear now is as valuable as gold. I have been using a Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail as long as I can remember now and not sure if there was anything in between. Sorry just took another trip down memory road.

Can't wait to try it!

My friend from PA, Bill, plays the 2nd gen Belle Epoch and it is a kissing cousin to the Dunlop EP3, which I have on my main board. Digital does excellent recreations of tape echo, these days.

@andrewsrea It took a week and a half but arrived today. I'm super tired from building a fire pit and patio where my pool used to be but will hopefully try it out soon. I'll bring it by next time I go out there.

I also picked this up for about $60USD at the same time. I don't know if someone made a mistake at the shop, or was just quickly getting rid of stock before doing another large order but that's way cheaper than normal:
