Description
Experience the magic of genuine tape echo with the Fulltone CS-SSTE Custom Shop Solid State Tape Echo, a masterful blend of nostalgia and innovation. This effects processor delivers the lush, warm tones of a classic tape echo, minus the noise and unreliability of old-school units. Equipped with a Fulltone ETC-1 tape cartridge, this unit ensures rich, organic echoes that add depth and character to any performance or recording session.
The CS-SSTE boasts dual preamp modes, offering a choice between the vintage charm of the EP-3 preamp mode, celebrated for its bass cut and treble boost, and the Full mode preamp, which maintains the integrity of your original tone. Whether you're after the retro vibes of Jimmy Page or the pristine sound of your own unique setup, this echo unit has you covered.
With easily tweakable delay times and tape speeds, the CS-SSTE allows for a range of effects, from quick plate reverb-like sounds to full 1-second delays. A top panel-mounted dual-speed toggle switch lets you seamlessly switch between hi-speed and lo-speed operations, each with distinct tonal characteristics. Whether you're crafting tracks in the studio or performing live, the Fulltone CS-SSTE offers a versatile and reliable solution for any musician seeking authentic tape echo.
Key Features:
- Real 1/4" tape for authentic, fat-sounding delay
- Dual preamp modes: classic EP-3 and Full Range
- Proprietary erase, record, and playback heads for longevity
- Handwired point-to-point audio pathway
- 2-speed operation for hi-fi or warm vintage sounds
- Tone control exclusively affecting repeats
- 1/4" jack for "Echo Cancel" to maintain tube preamp in the signal path
