Gibson Oberheim Echoplex - Outboard Processor For Homemade Sounds
June 27, 2007
The Gibson Oberheim Echoplex was good enough for Jimi Hendrix on Are You Experienced?, so it's definitely good enough for Eric Leonardson and his Springboard. You make some sounds with friction mallets and a wonky music box, feed them through distortion and EQ pedals, make some loops and you're good to go.
Watch the exclusive Gearwire video for a demo of the Echoplex in action.
For a live demo, check out Eric with the theater group Plasticene sometime.

echoplex 'review'
Utter shit.
Now you've finished boring us with your post industrial dribble, can you give the musicians of the world an Echoplex demo.
gearwire sux!!!
obviously
it's not a review of the echoplex, it's how to use the echoplex with contact mics. This is a more experimental approach to using it. There's no reason for us to interview an experimental musician if all we are going to do is talk about how a pedal works. We would just stay in our studio if that's what we wanted to do.
