Page 1 Product Overview The Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, although inspired by Market Electronics’ Echoplex of the early to mid-‘60’s, is a far more evolved design which eliminates all of the noise, inconsistencies, and reliability issues associated with the old Echoplexes. Some of the TTE’s features include: 1. 1 x 12AX7 Tubes for Record, 1x12AX7 for Playback, 1 x 12Au7 (use only JJ brand Tube) for the Bias Oscillator (Erase) section. 2. Mono and ((Stereo)) outputs with 3 distinct ster

Page 4 Operating your Tube Tape Echo WARNING! Always unplug the guitar cable from the Main Output when not in use! Not doing so for an extended time period may cause the pinch roller to go out-of-round making the tape transport unstable, the repeats out of tune, and may void warranty service claims relating to this issue. WARNING! This unit operates at High-Voltages and, if misused, could cause serious injury or death. Care must be used at all times to ensure your safety and you sho

(#18) With this switch, you are given a choice of High Speed or Low Speed tape movement, and you will see the Tape flow at a slower or faster rate depending on which setting you choose. Tip: As a general rule of thumb: The faster the tape speed, the more in-tune the repeats will be, the more full-range the repeats will sound, a

Page 7 All about ((Stereo)) Refer to Diagrams on Pages 2 and 3, and 9 WARNING! Running multiple amps can be dangerous or even fatal due to the possibility of a ground loop being created when two or more AC powered devices do not share a common ground reference point. Care must be taken to ensure that your signal chain (effects, amps, and even P.A. system) is configured correctly to not only be hum-free, but to ensure the safety of you and your band mates.

Page 13 Tubes! Refer to Page 9, Main Chassis Diagram Warning! There are 3 Tubes in your TTE, two (V1 and V2) you can change if need be, and another one (V3) that you shouldn’t mess with! V2 is a 12AX7, which is powering the Guitar Preamp section, and V1 is a 12AX7/ECC83 powering the Echo “reproduction” stage of the circuit. You can experiment with other 12AX7’s but always test for noise and Microphonics. You can tailor the sound with V1 and V2. V3 is actually the most CRUCI
