More than I could ask for

Ever since my gear was stolen two years ago I've been very wary of bringing my gear to shows all the time. So instead of taking my RE-20 or Rubberneck everywhere with me I instead just use the Echoboy as a substitute for those units. I love the Echoplex preset on it and I put tape saturation on all my samples and to give my DI guitar more warmth. It's very simple and intuitive and I recommend to any lovers of tape echo. Trust me, you'll get what you paid for and your back will thank you.
