ACE TONE EC-20

The Grand-daddy of the mighty Space Echo, an An Ace Tone EC-20 Echo Chamber for sale in very good condition and excellent working order.

This is a vintage Japanese tape echo, fully serviced and refurbished with parts replaced as needed to bring it up to a high standard of operation. We really like these fore-runners of the legendary Roland Space Echo tape echo units (Ace Tone is the company founded by Ikutaro Kakehashi who went on to found the Roland Corporation) - they are high quality machines with a really great sound (demos below).

Price includes VAT at 20% (for sales in UK/EU) - buyers outside the EU please contact us for tax-free prices. VAT-free sales possible to businesses and individuals in the EU with a valid VAT Number..

Condition of this unit is very good with only minimal signs of age – minor marks to the casing and some oxidation to the jack sockets and lid clips. Click on the photos to zoom in.

We've done two Ace Tone demos, both featuring another EC-20 unit we sold recently. The first features guitar and a 70s Ace Tone FM-3 Fuzz Master pedal, and in the second a late 60s Rhythm Ace FR-1 drum machine through the fuzz pedal and the EC-20 (producing some wild and (very) analogue techno...).

There are no known operational faults with this unit. (Please note: it is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during a short delivery period - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray).
