On cost, I will say after 40 years of playing, hard work, good fortunes and eye for quality allows me to have some items like this. Much the same as I can play pretty damn good (or bad depending on the opinion of the listener) on a $150 Squire and a $100 Fender SS Amp, but it is not the same as when I play on a Custom LP or American Strat through a high quality amp. Best thing I ever did as a kid was work my butt off and went from cheap electric to Custom LP in 68, still have it, still great.
It is also very good with good reverb, especially like and old Premier Tank or one of many reverb combos such as many of the classic Fenders, or my personal favorite a DR Z EZ50G. Also for certain playing, it works fantastic when used into the effect loop of and Old Orange ORM-120. IS it for everyone, no, is the cost worth it for everyone-no, but the many that have tried one or have one, is it fantastic-YES.
katarzis27, Beautiful playing, great sounds and glad to see you making the TTE come alive.
UKToneKing and other, this is not a reverb, it is a Tape Echo Machine like the orginal Echo Plex but with better motors, new construction, and reeking quality build. It is expensive comapred to a stomp box yes, but it is not expensive for what it is. There is some great stomp boxes that will get people the sound they want, but there is many other that are pure garbage. I love mine
@ryanspeed their is no way your Guytone works just as good as this unit, this is the best reverb unit money can buy, it pretty much smokes the fender unit, these honestly give U the best reverb in the world, they sound way better than reverb on amp circuits, people in the 60s with twin reverbs ect, were still buying this type of unit for their reverb, it is killer, I agree it is expensive, but it is a unit not a pedal, hand built ect
@UKToneKing Okay, maybe I was being a little exaggerated...but in it's own league my MD3 does sound really good with no noticeable tone loss, something that plagues a lot of other solid state delay units. Aside from that I still can't see paying that insane price of $1200 but like I said my friend to each their own!
I paid $70 for my MD3 when bought new. I could take the rest of the $1130 and buy a nice guitar or 2. Just my opinion....
@ryanspeed I could probable go out and buy the unit also, but I would think to myself, if I buy an mxr carbon copy and with the change buy a silverface deluxe reverb, which has nice reverb on it, some of these old timers bealeve that this tape echo is the bomb, and it is the holy grail of tones, but I would myself just buy a vintage amp with reverb on, old timers bealeve vntage amps with reverb on are not the best, they think wehen fender added reverb to their amps, it was a no no back then
@UKToneKing I can relate to that! :) I've been playing guitar for almost 30 years now and I have to agree with those old timers on those vintage sounds but my wallet keeps me away from those effects of yester-year; they are just way too pricey for me!
A few years back I saw a 1965 Echoplex tape delay at a vintage guitar show in Houston, Texas. It still worked and I would have loved to have owned it but the insane $3000 asking price was way out of my league!
@CommBreakDown I know, some of the good ones have a reverb built in as well, the Fullerton one does not, but blue coconut do an echoverb unit, which is amazing like, I always think tape echos sound very reverb like anyway, but I was blown away by the echoverb unit I heard, I have been pondering on buying one, U can pick a used one up for half the price if U get lucky, not many for sale tho, as no one wants to sell them, they are better than any pedal I have heard
If I had the money,I'd "Run Like Hell"to Fulltone tomorrow.absolutley kills my roland space echo.excellent guitar playing throughout.please post more.
cause fulltone has integrity and hand makes all their pedals in california. i personally would rather pay more for quality than pay $5 for shit that breaks in 10 minutes
@tcostas46383 ...I've just brought a Tokai 100 made in Japan 'Les Paul' for £800, I could have brought a compatible Gibson for £2,200, having owned Gibson in the past I find the Tokai is every bit as good and the finish is actually better. So, I won't be paying for integrity.
I hate Slash so let's get that out of the way. You must not be a guitar player but as a luthier you should know the materials used in the Gibson line are superior as is the overall quality and workmanship. Simply playing them side by side reveals the differences very quickly. You are basically saying anyone who buys a real Les Paul is an idiot because they are being ripped off. I guess that makes you smarter than millions of actual musicians.
@echosyst superior materials, i doubt it.. superior workmanship, sometimes,,( made before 1992 ,superb, 2007 the worst) . differences, maybe,, epiphones give more harmonics easily,, and some les pauls are very heavy. most of the times, les paul owners are idiots, fooled by a name of a company.
why pay 1800, for somethign you can have for 500?
i play the guitar too, and i find it funny, to hear replicas that outperform the original.
this year i have fixed at least 25 broken les paul necks.
The reason Les Paul's are heavier is because of the wood. More sustain and better sound is the result. So now everybody who plays a Les Paul is an idiot? Wow, that would include some pretty amazing musicians who are pretty smart too. Be sure to tell your customers they are idiots too, see what they think of your idiocy.
@echosyst you can get sustain from millions of sources,,,including light wood.
on the other side , most of the les pauls you see hanging from your favorite artist are either made before the 90s (good les pauls), ace frehley, frank zappa, or totally customized les pauls. example, rush, aero smith , zakk wilde ,,, or a les paul that its made by a luthier and the only thing gibson in it , is the label on the headstock , your hated slash.
@echosyst i dont have to say anything to my customers... when they see the insides of their les pauls, and how the necks are of the lowest quality, they realize the mistake they made. and whien some one asks me, what guitar to buy, i just tell them. avoid the new les pauls, adn most fo the gibson products.
im not the only one, go to ed romans website and read the rant section. the guy worked for gibson, he knows it more than me, and he writes about it, and he is merciless.., worst than me.
Sorry I don't find your story compelling. Most folks buy guitars at music stores. They play them first and compare them to other models, including the Eppi's that are in every store. It isn't as if they don't know what they are getting before paying 2000 bucks. You are trying to convince me that AFTER THE FACT, they get home and realize they bought junk. I have been playing for 30 years and have met 100's of players and nobody that owned a Les Paul (new or old) ever told me that.
When I bought a Watkins Copicat in 1965 it cost £38 and a Vox ac 30 was £105. therefore the Copicat was aprox. 33% of the Vox.... where are they now almost the same.... surely this 'Fulltone' can't be that different to the Watkins.
@TrippyTheShroom I HEAR THAT MAN!!! I just saw this thing on Musician's Friend for something like $1300+ & I honestly wasn't expecting to see a youtube demo of one...
@Niraham the TTE has a tube in it, so it helps push a tube amp that bit extra, great if U want to get a bit more grunt out of your amp, this is a unit not a pedal, which is why it is expensive, hand built, would have took some time to make to this standard
I own a RE-201 and an RE-150 and have had the chance to play on a TTE. The TTE wasn't for me. It has a good sound, but it just doesn't sound as good as the old rolands or echoplexes to me. The sound is too clean and you don't get as big of a wall of sound when you push it into self-oscillation.
Still sounds good. Not neeeeaaaaar worth the price to me though.
Any time you want, means any time when you think it is neccesary, use such tapes no longer then three monts or 500 playing hours, contact me about rewinding with the original tape.
great setup man, i run this with a tiny terror combo. thing is amazing on anything you feed into it not just guitar. killer vocal potential, synth's, drum etc
i've had a fulltone tte for a while now, thing is fucking amazing. i spend a lot of time dabbling it modular synths, guitar, and genre's like noise, experimental, shoegaze, new wave, electro, krautrock, etc etc.
my first tape cart broke after about maybe 9 months? they are really well made. i've brought this thing to peoples houses before and their jaw dropped. " never heard such a clean echo before"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As sweet as it sounds you wont notice the bloody difference from this £1000 pedal and a £250 pedal imo. Unless your an uber pro in wich case it dont bloody matter if you can tell the diff or not, What a joke £1000 pfff
I'm not gear snob, but if you go watch the PGS Smackdown between this one and the Empress Vintage delay (a $500 digital that's very good), it's easy to hear the difference without even looking. Just listen for the one that sounds best then look at the screen and see which it is. But the cost ultimately is about market size. There's just not a large enough market for such a device to get the cost down.
i always think about that. if the listener cant tell a difference then whats the point of breaking the bank. although if i was a professional musician price isnt a factor. its my job. for a hobbiest i can understand. but if i were a pro id get an echo plex
@nickfromdtown1992 - Who says we´re playing for the listener?? I play for big crowds from time to time, but first and forefost I play for my own joy. What your argumentation lacks is that the listener does not know what he/she is hearing - but is sounds bloody amazing! Now thats the TTE! Some devices are so musical to play around with and others sucks.....There you go!
@VintageandRare well if you want to make a living off it you have to take the listener into account. but i never said play FOR the listener. i wasnt making an argument i was replying to some body making conversation. so your arguments flaw is a hasty conclusion and poisoning the well.
@taygoo13 Its true and I said the same thing...but always wanted one...But Its only rediculous of course because we are used to products made in low labor countries...or by automation...those items are in the disposable catagory...(and do little for keeping America working)..
This thing is one of those items that can be repaired & used indefnately.. like Leo Fenders Amps of the 1950's...(if tape is available in future).
This type of thing can be seen in the American History Museum in DC..
@taygoo13 That is ridiculous. I get the tape, vintage and sound argument....but definitely greed does win over charity in this case :-( I wish they would sell it for 500 bucks. I would buy it in heartbeat.
@LEOJATT I have a Line 6 Echo Park that souns pretty nice w lots of features,the TTE is too expensive,I moight try to find an used one...well see hmmm
@taygoo13 No it doesn't...it costs $1200. if it inspires you to make some beautifull music it's worth it...it certainly has been to theEdge. I'd wanted one for almost a decade...and finally got one instead of a refund due to me from an overcharge by Fender Masterbuilder ...
What REALLY is not worth it is paying a plumber this amount for 2 days at your house.
@taygoo13 I heard Mike Fuller is working on a new version of TTE, but this time it,s gonna be digital. It,s gonna cost $500.00 more or less. But still too expensive, I think.
holy crap that thing sounds good. better than the originals. It must be amazing in person without the youtube quality degrade, not that this isn't very well recorded.
Man, you and that TTE sound just excellent, seriously great playing and tone, reminds me of early Vini Reilly, British guitarist who recorded under the name Durutti Column on Factory. Keep on pickin'!
Excellent demo. Gorgeous piece of history. I personally use an MXR Carbon Copy, its the closest thing, with the wet mix at just past 12 o'clock, mod on, regen right at 11 o'clock (so it almost feedbacks) and delay just past 9 o'clock. It really gets the job done.
haha for real. i've never heard a delay device that wasnt tape that came close to the fulltone tte. thing is just as dreamy as it gets. digital pedals or analog 600ms delays? not a chance.
@katarzis27 It's relatively close to the average listener. To be honest..the majority of the shit musicians themselves stress over..tone wise..is unheard by the average listener. I have an MXR CC and I think it's a great analog delay. One is 1080$ one is 150$...you can't really knock the CC when acknowledging that.
Yeah but not all musicians base their sound around what the average listener can or can't hear. Some if not many of them couldn't care less what other people think of their work as it is their own personal expression. Whether or not that needs to cost upwards of 1200 isn't relevant, to some people "money just ain't a thang" Can you blame em for indulging for the sake of perfecting their own expression of art? I certainly would, and plan to some day! =D. Great video btw my mouth is watering.
no way I have the carbon copy too, the tape delay is almost like a different effect... that you have to pay out the arse to get.... but the carbon copy is a legit pedal.. great choice for analog... it's actually a lot cleaner than this..
i hope another effect company comes out with a more affordable tape echo unit for us common folk. and something the youngsters can get ahold of... is see to much of the youngsters playing with to much digital stuff and they never get to experience something warm and analog like this.
I used an echoplex all thru the 70s and know how good tape echos sound, but $1200...fuggetaboutit! I recently bought an MXR Carbon Copy for $150...great sounding analog delay with 600msecs of delay...good enough.
Yep I know the TTE sounds amazing, my buddy has one that I've used. But the MXR does sound very good for the cost. My only comment was that MXR should have put it in a larger box, and had the inner trim pots for the modulation as regular controls on top
wow, if i could EVER see myself dropping $1200 on a pedal, it'd be this one....however, i dont see that happening. now, $125 on a blem OCD, that's a distinct possibility.
I would turn gay for that delay

How does this compared to a Roland Space Echo. This sounds sick. Love tape echo, so warm.

i've had a fulltone tte for a while now, thing is fucking amazing. i spend a lot of time dabbling it modular synths, guitar, and genre's like noise, experimental, shoegaze, new wave, electro, krautrock, etc etc.
my first tape cart broke after about maybe 9 months? they are really well made. i've brought this thing to peoples houses before and their jaw dropped. " never heard such a clean echo before"

As sweet as it sounds you wont notice the bloody difference from this £1000 pedal and a £250 pedal imo. Unless your an uber pro in wich case it dont bloody matter if you can tell the diff or not, What a joke £1000 pfff
lantyboy 2 years ago
I'm not gear snob, but if you go watch the PGS Smackdown between this one and the Empress Vintage delay (a $500 digital that's very good), it's easy to hear the difference without even looking. Just listen for the one that sounds best then look at the screen and see which it is. But the cost ultimately is about market size. There's just not a large enough market for such a device to get the cost down.
Truthzilla 2 years ago
i always think about that. if the listener cant tell a difference then whats the point of breaking the bank. although if i was a professional musician price isnt a factor. its my job. for a hobbiest i can understand. but if i were a pro id get an echo plex
nickfromdtown1992 2 years ago
@nickfromdtown1992 - Who says we´re playing for the listener?? I play for big crowds from time to time, but first and forefost I play for my own joy. What your argumentation lacks is that the listener does not know what he/she is hearing - but is sounds bloody amazing! Now thats the TTE! Some devices are so musical to play around with and others sucks.....There you go!
VintageandRare 1 year ago
@VintageandRare well if you want to make a living off it you have to take the listener into account. but i never said play FOR the listener. i wasnt making an argument i was replying to some body making conversation. so your arguments flaw is a hasty conclusion and poisoning the well.

plaguex1 1 year ago
@taygoo13 Its true and I said the same thing...but always wanted one...But Its only rediculous of course because we are used to products made in low labor countries...or by automation...those items are in the disposable catagory...(and do little for keeping America working)..
This thing is one of those items that can be repaired & used indefnately.. like Leo Fenders Amps of the 1950's...(if tape is available in future).
This type of thing can be seen in the American History Museum in DC..

@taygoo13 No it doesn't...it costs $1200. if it inspires you to make some beautifull music it's worth it...it certainly has been to theEdge. I'd wanted one for almost a decade...and finally got one instead of a refund due to me from an overcharge by Fender Masterbuilder ...

Excellent demo. Gorgeous piece of history. I personally use an MXR Carbon Copy, its the closest thing, with the wet mix at just past 12 o'clock, mod on, regen right at 11 o'clock (so it almost feedbacks) and delay just past 9 o'clock. It really gets the job done.

I have the MXR cc and its not even close...
katarzis27 2 years ago 36
haha for real. i've never heard a delay device that wasnt tape that came close to the fulltone tte. thing is just as dreamy as it gets. digital pedals or analog 600ms delays? not a chance.
DESTROYriaa 2 years ago
@katarzis27 It's relatively close to the average listener. To be honest..the majority of the shit musicians themselves stress over..tone wise..is unheard by the average listener. I have an MXR CC and I think it's a great analog delay. One is 1080$ one is 150$...you can't really knock the CC when acknowledging that.
DJQuips 1 year ago
Yeah but not all musicians base their sound around what the average listener can or can't hear. Some if not many of them couldn't care less what other people think of their work as it is their own personal expression. Whether or not that needs to cost upwards of 1200 isn't relevant, to some people "money just ain't a thang" Can you blame em for indulging for the sake of perfecting their own expression of art? I certainly would, and plan to some day! =D. Great video btw my mouth is watering.
Itseasyifyoutry 1 year ago
no way I have the carbon copy too, the tape delay is almost like a different effect... that you have to pay out the arse to get.... but the carbon copy is a legit pedal.. great choice for analog... it's actually a lot cleaner than this..
djbro16 2 years ago
@obsidiantwilightband yeah... and analog delay is not the the same thing as a tape echo... in fact it isn't even meant to be.

i hope another effect company comes out with a more affordable tape echo unit for us common folk. and something the youngsters can get ahold of... is see to much of the youngsters playing with to much digital stuff and they never get to experience something warm and analog like this.

I used an echoplex all thru the 70s and know how good tape echos sound, but $1200...fuggetaboutit! I recently bought an MXR Carbon Copy for $150...great sounding analog delay with 600msecs of delay...good enough.

katarzis27 3 years ago
Yep I know the TTE sounds amazing, my buddy has one that I've used. But the MXR does sound very good for the cost. My only comment was that MXR should have put it in a larger box, and had the inner trim pots for the modulation as regular controls on top
