The Strymon EC-1 Single Head dTape Echo delivers the warm, organic sound of a classic '60s tape echo, inspired by the Echoplex EP-2. This compact pedal offers selectable tube-modeled preamps, switchable saturation, and a Tape Age dial to replicate vintage characteristics. With full stereo capabilities, MIDI control, and expression pedal compatibility, the EC-1 provides versatile options from warm slapback delays to expansive echoes. It also features Strymon's dTape system for authentic reproduction of tape echo characteristics, rivaling the El Capistan and other tape delay pedals.
