Critic Reviews

Gurus Echosex 2 Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Gurus Echosex 2 T7E Delay delivers stunningly authentic Echorec sounds, wrapped in a beautifully crafted design that pays homage to its vintage roots. Its interactive controls allow for creative sound sculpting, making it a versatile asset in both live and studio settings. However, the absence of the original Echorec’s multi-head effects is a significant drawback at this price point, leaving some classic delay enthusiasts wanting more. Ultimately, while the Echosex 2 excels in many areas, it misses a key feature that could have elevated it to legendary status.

Gurus Amps Echosex 2

The Gurus Echosex 2 T7E Delay delivers an authentic vintage echo experience with its warm, murky repeats that effectively capture the essence of the classic Echorec. With improved features like a longer maximum delay time and versatile input/output options, it stands as a robust option for musicians seeking rich textures. However, the lack of a power supply in the package and the audible noise at longer settings may deter some users. While it excels in fattening sounds through its built-in preamp, it’s clear that it’s not without its quirks. Overall, the Echosex 2 impresses with its character but comes with caveats that potential buyers should weigh.
