Manufacturer's Description from Fulltone
What do Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, Keith Richards, John Mayer, Robert Plant, Vance Powell, the late great Tom Petty, Buddy Miller, Jack White, Dan Auerbach, and TBone Burnette, all have in common?
They all rely on the Fulltone TTE for part of their sound.
Fulltone Tape echoes are the best sounding and feeling echo devices you will ever play through, and if you buy one I bet that you will own it for the rest of your life. It's not easy or cheap hand-building Tape Echoes in the USA, in California, none the less. It is an intense labor of love and a source of pride because honestly no one else can do it but me...or they would.
The Fulltone TubeTapeEcho is quite literally what would happen if you took a vintage EP-2 Echoplex:
ran the preamp at over 200 volts
put better heads on it
improved the tape transport
gave it 2 tape speeds
put better quality tape on it
installed an intelligent torque (and speed) adjusting DC powered transport motor
got rid of the hum by running the filaments on 12VDC
made it stereo
gave it true bypass
got rid of the Ep-2's sound-robbing Echo Cancel feature and replaced it with a relay-activated cancel function allowing for any cable length to the footswitch with no degradation to the sound of the repeats
gave it a separate Instrument and Echo volume control
and put a tone control on it affecting only the repeats
About Manufacturer
My name is Michael Fuller, I'm the founder, designer, and President of Fulltone Musical Products Inc.
2018 marks our 25th Anniversary, but I really started Fulltone around 1991 while working as a Session Guitarist, a Composer, Performer, and Electronic Tinkerer. People started calling me asking for my pedals after I was featured in Guitar Player Magazine for winning first place in their "Ultimate Guitarist Competition" competition.
Fulltone pedals were born out of a love for music, great gear, great tone, and a desire to make bullet-proof products. Early on I developed a love for fine vintage pedals and my frustration at the inconsistencies and the fragile nature of this old gear drove me to start Fulltone. Rich, Fat-sounding TONE TOOLS with a reliable build quality is the goal. All Fulltone effects carry a 5 year warranty and are built for (and by) musicians.
We use True Bypass switching or our exclusive "Enhanced Bypass TM" (OCD V2, WahFull) with L.E.D. status indicator in all our pedals. I designed and manufacture the Fulltone 3PDT , the world's only Super-Duty Triple Pole Double Throw footswitch. All of Fulltone's Pots and switches are designed by me and custom made for me because what everyone else uses is not good enough, in my opinion.
All Fulltone pedals are designed, hand-built & tested by us at our shop in Southern California using top-notch components.
