Melos EM-110 Echo Chamber Tape Delay

The MELOS range of Analogue Echo Chambers were very popular in the 1980's used by various Stations. The Melos range were initially Analogue Cassette Tape units, to be later updated with Analogue BBD electronics. Melos made various Echo Chambers in their product range with the Melos EM-110 being a popular unit used on CB.

The MELOS Echo Chamber uses tapes to create echos - there is only one tape head and the tape is a long loop inside a cassette rather like the old BETAMAX video tapes - the point being that the tape rotates quite fast and if there was only a small loop the tape would soon wear out.

The unit is solid construction with a carry handle,textured black finish and anodised facia. There are two inputs and two outputs for low and high impedance respectively and 4 controls for input level,balance between signal and echo,the number of repeats and the time delay between echoes. 

A footswitch control hidden in the rear allows bypassing - and is also where the fuse and cassette are stored and the mains cable should you wish to move it around,so it is not bad for gigging.
