Anyone else have one of these? I bought one the other day and really like the sound. Kind of funny since I just bought an El Capistan about a week before.

I'm a little curious as to how the sound-on-sound works exactly - not very intuitive.

I'd like to find some new cartridges for it as well. The tape in mine is a bit degraded, but perfect for some applications. It's got some awesome warbling going on. I see a place in the UK that sells them, but wondering if there's a US source that's cheaper. $50 is a lot for a single cartridge.

I had one that wasn't working. I tried fixing it, but no go. I think it probably needed new heads. Supposedly used on EVH Eruption solo.

I have one...worked for a bit when I got it almost 15 years ago...tape crapped out. The tapes are very rare and expensive. Supposedly you can modify old dictaphone tape but even those are hard to find.

I still have mine but haven't had the time or inclination to get it working.

Had the EC-80. Sold it because of lack of tapes. Sounded great though.

saw them FS on Ebay, called the guy at Orbit before pulling the trigger and he suggested they werent something he wanted to work on

I had one, but ended up selling it because I could not find the tapes anywhere. Never even got to hear what it sounded like. :-(

I'll post a clip later. This thing is awesome.

simple sound going through, but demonstrates the basic sound.
