Here is a sound sample from my constructed echo machine. I´ve hand build 22 of them....almost all are sold today!

It sounds impressive.
Why don´t you tell us some more about those echoes? Maybe some photographs...

I heard the best Meazzi Tape Echo I've ever heard yesterday!!

.

It's a friend of mine from up North, he has a Converted Factotum,
a converted Echomatic which is with me at the moment, a transistor
Echomatic which again is with me for refurb and a Meazzi 316 .

The factotum has a nice "Rounded" sound and as I said earlier is the best
I've heard yet, the Echomatic, is not as good and my task is to get it to
sound the same!!

Hi Bluenote, (message 23)

Yes I have a Watkins Copycat that I have used from the early sixties, fantastic for all us Hank wannabe's!!

I took it up to charlies factory in Offley Road by Vauxhall Bridge in London in the early eightie's and his chief engineer
John Truber fitted all new heads etc. while I watched him do it. I still have the Copycat, and all the old heads etc. that he
replaced, and it still works perfectly.

This is of cause the valve model, not the newer transitorised model which didn't have that same
warm valve sound.

Best regards,
Baz.

Hi All,

Hi Ecca,

I have tried different tranny Copycats over the years but i still come back to the old valve one that I still have. I have also got the IC400 vary speed but I still prefere the valve one.
The thing that annoyed me most with the valve Copycat was the 'CLONK' every time the spliced joint passed the heads.
I now use a TVS3 and I also have a Alessis Q20 with EFTP so the 'CLONK' is a thing of the past!

Best regards,
Baz.

Hi David,
Some years ago I posted a question about the Meazzi "Cathedral Sound". a couple of members told me that this Sound effect was not Available on a "Transistor Meazzi Echomatic"--Well I've just bought ,one after searching around for years,and , the cathedral "Reverb effect " is There--. You just have to press down " Halo--REverb and Repet" Buttons.
Cheers
