The Echosonic was designed and hand-built by Ray Butts. While only 68 ever being built, the Echosonic found a unique place in history with a built-in tape echo (loop) unit. This patented tape loop echo system was one of the first guitar effects ever built, permanently installed in a high-quality custom-built guitar amp and speaker cabinet combo.
Vintage tube-powered echo effects include the Fender-distributed EccoFonic, Mastro Echoplex, Watkins/WEM Copicat, Binson Echorec and Meazzi Echomatic. You can hear Hank Garland play the opening phrase of Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" with the EccoFonic.
