With the new EC-1<\/strong>, Strymon has brought a classic tape echo from the 60s into a compact format. It is based on a genuine vintage tape echo device that has been modified by one of the most renowned technicians of the last 50 years. It sparkles with analog charm, the magic of which can only be created through tape-based sound manipulation and natural imperfections.<\/p>\n<\/div>
