Enjoy organic and ethereal modulation produced by countless subtle mechanical imperfections, and easily dial in anything from warm slapback to expansive echo feedback beds with a strikingly gorgeous stereo image. With beautifully-tuned low frequency response, lush tape saturation and sublime echo decay, EC-1 provides all the best of what a tube driven tape echo can deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eFull-Featured Compact Stereo Tape Echo\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEC-1 offers impressive power and flexibility in a small and elegant form factor: Selectable tube-modeled preamp voices. Artifact-free tap tempo. Discrete stereo operation for independent processing of the left and right stereo inputs. Straightforward controls and expression pedal capability. High-impedance, ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET stereo input preamp for exceptional touch sensitivity, dynamics and feel. MIDI control of tempo, patch save\/recall and more. Premium components, rugged construction and a USB jack for performing firmware updates or controlling the pedal from a computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eTape, Tubes, and the Best of the Best\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDevelopment of EC-1 started with the groundbreaking single moving head algorithm originally developed for our El Capistan pedal, which is renowned for its lifelike reproduction of vintage tape echo. From there, we were fortunate to acquire what turned out to be a very special Echoplex EP-2, as the unit was in amazingly good condition and had been worked on by storied technician Cesar Diaz. We discovered that several purposeful and skillfully-implemented modifications had been made to the unit, including tweaks to the tube preamp for a warmer sound closer in frequency response to an EP-3. The modifications seemed aimed at bringing the best aspects of the various vintage Echoplex models into a single unit, and the inspiring result significantly informed development of EC-1, imbuing it with a special character that is immediately nostalgic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• MIDI\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• True\/Buffered Bypass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• JFET Input\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Stereo• ARM Processor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eControls \u0026amp; Routing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• High impedance ultra low-noise discrete Class A JFET TRS stereo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003einput\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Low impedance TRS stereo output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003epedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• USB jack for controlling via MIDI from a computer or for performing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003efirmware updates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eAudio Quality\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Premium JFET analog front end\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A\/D and D\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003econverters provide uncompromising audio quality\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• 520MHz ARM Superscalar processor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• 32-bit floating point processing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Audio Input Impedance: 1M Ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Audio Output Impedance: 100 Ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Typical signal to noise ratio: 116dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eMore\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Strong and lightweight anodized aluminum chassis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Power requirements: maximum 9 volts DC center-negative, with a\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eminimum of 250mA (power supply NOT included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Dimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• 4.6” deep x 2.7” wide x 2.5” tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• 11.7 cm deep x 6.9 cm wide x 6.4 cm tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e• Designed and built in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strymon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41853954850864,"sku":"210000082949","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/0200\/7600\/files\/EC-1TopDownFinal.jpg?v=1739916136","url":"https:\/\/parkwaymusic.com\/products\/strymon-ec-1","provider":"Parkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
