Shopping Spotlight｜ Other Products ｜MAESTRO ECHOPLEX EP2 s

We're tape and disc echo specialists and always have a good selection of vintage echo machines. Check out our other listings for fully-serviced Binsons, Copicats, Echoplexes and Roland Space/Chorus Echoes.

As business sellers, we've sold many tape echoes in the past ten years; we understand how they should sound and function.
We guarantee that this machine will not disappoint.
This is a fine example of one of the most revered tape delays ever made: the Maestro Echoplex EP2. The EP2 and EP3 were famously used by Jimmy Page (and many others) on stage and in the studio with Led Zeppelin and Page & Plant.
Dating from around 1970, it features the noodletastic Sound On Sound facility which allows you to play along with a very long loop of yourself...

This unit is in good cosmetic condition for a 44 year old machine (see detailed photos below) and very good working order having recently had a full mechanical and electrical service. It's fitted with a reloaded tape cartridge and is performing well.

This is not a perfect-sounding machine - if you want that, then please see our listing for a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo (or buy a digital delay), which offers a more stable and reliable modern version of this unit - but this echo has bags of class and character, and of course that legendary warm valve preamp. This is a machine for someone who doesn't want perfect repeats, who enjoys the sound and effect of old tape (that wonderful warm chorus-like shimmer created by imperfect technology). It's for someone like me, who doesn't need it to withstand the rigours of touring, and who loves the sonic irregularities created by a combination of old tape and mechanical imprecision. It makes wild and wonderful noises when coaxed into self-oscillation and is a fine mix send effect for dub and sound effects - just move the pointer back and forth for instant gratification.

YouTube demo to follow soon.

It's a USA voltage machine (110v) so will require a step-down transformer for use in the UK/EU etc.
We also have a transition solid state EP2/3 for sale - see our other listings.
We are passionate about supplying high quality vintage gear to our customers and go the extra mile to ensure complete satisfaction.
