Evans Echopet EP-100 - Analog BBD Delay, Rare 1979

Beskrivning

The Evans Echopet EP-100 is a vintage analog BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) delay made in Japan during the late 1970s. Key Features & Specs • Type: Analog BBD delay and echo unit (no digital menus, screens, or presets—pure knob control). • Inputs & Outputs: Dual attenuated inputs (handling instruments and microphones) plus wet-only or mix output options. • Controls: Tactile physical dials for delay time, feedback, tone shaping, and output levels. • Power: Typically built as a 100V Japanese domestic unit (often requiring a step-down transformer for safe long-term usage abroad, though some converted/refurbished units handle 220V–240V). • Build: Solid metal casing resembling a compact amp head or desktop box rather than a standard 19-inch rack unit. Common Uses & Sound Profile • Genres: Dub, ambient, noise, experimental, rock, and electronic music. • Vibe: Warm, organic repeats with great scope for self-oscillation, wall-of-sound textures, and classic analog degradation. • Notable Users: Artists and producers like Tim Gane (Stereolab), Paul Epworth, and Aaron Dilloway have utilized Evans echo units.
