TC Electronic has unveiled the new Alter Ego X4 Vintage Echo.
The upgrade to the Alter Ego Delay features a selection of vintage-style sounds, including tones based on the Roland Space Echo, the Binson Echorec and the Echoplex.The Alter Ego X4 Vintage Echo is also capable of utilising TC Electronic's TonePrint technology, opening up a further range of delay sounds for players in search of something different.
Aiming to credibly cover off lo-fi, hi-fi, tape, analog and digital delays, this is an awful lot of varied delays and echos in a single box, and pretty much a must-try for experimental types looking for a versatile delay unit.
