Valhalla for loopers and delay fiends.

Phenomenally powerful and endlessly versatile, the Gibson TGE-05 Echoplex Digital Pro Plus is a tool looking for an imagination to wield it. The convenient 19" rackmount unit brings together digital recording, sampling, and digital delay so that musicians of every type can utilize these powerful components in both studio and live applications. An amazing 16-bit/41.5kHz RAM recorder lets you playback and record simultaneously making ambient soundscapes, reversed loops, and rhythmic drones easy to create and shape. It might help to think of the Echoplex as a sequencer for audio instead of MIDI, with all the capabilities of a sampler and a delay effect that ranges far beyond any pedal available. A progressive undo feature allows you to overdub with confidence. You can add unlimited overdubs onto any loop you record. The Echoplex Digital Pro is designed by and for musicians. The intuitive and efficient controls on the rackmount unit and footpedal make it easy to use and settings are displayed through a multifunction LED. The switches on the optional EFC-7 foot control unit can also be custom configured, and play an integral part by allowing you to access all of the unit's main functions on the fly. Loops can be recorded, overdubbed, reversed, and deleted with your feet, in real time. The Echoplex is completely MIDI compatible. Performance controls send and receive MIDI; loops and sound files may be saved and loaded via MIDI; and tempos can be synced to MIDI clock. With 198 seconds of memory, 16-bit realtime digital loops, the capability to layer all 9 loops complete with overdubs, simultaneous playback and record, unlimited overdubs with progressive undos, and tap tempo controls, the Echoplex is peerless.

• 16-bit realtime digital loops

edp midi capable

Reviewer's Play Style: modern, folk/jazz/rock

I wanted to add that, as a guitarist I use it mainly with the footswitch and expression pedal, but the MIDI capabilites are what sets this thing apart. It is compatible with sequencers, midi triggers and other continuous controller commands. Have fun kiddies!

Not bad but could be better

I have used this at over 50 shows now as a solo act. I like the unit but it has some flaws. The manual is hard to use and doesn't make sense sometimes. If you do multiple layers on a loop, Degredation is noticeable, it needs to be stereo!!! It needs a "soft mute" feature who's length can be programmed because it just cuts off short and with a clunk. The button on the pedals are too close together for me and dont have an in to link multiple pedals so I made my own. Doesn't tell you where in the loop you are. Gibson, please make an upgrade and I will buy it!

This is THE LOOPER

Posted by mark francombe from Norway on Apr 22, 2006

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Semi Pro

Reviewer's Play Style: Weird shit

This looper is quite the most fully featured device that there is. If it seems from reviews that its "just a looper" then that is because some its features are NOT on any other unit and you have NEVER heard of them or thought of them before!!! I bought one and now everything I do revolves around it, it will take over! it IS mono, not a problem, it doesnt have "tracks" you overdub, not a problem... I wouldnt buy this if you "play songs" and wnat to repeat your experience again and again, but if you improvise alot and want to start some where and build something and end up god knows where... this is it!!! Imagine this: You record a one bar phrase, loopit, over dub onto it, multiply it 4 times, overdub a long phrase over that, Divide THIS new loop down to 2 bars (yes you hear HALF your secnd phrase) insert and record-over quantised fragments into your loop, again divide back to 1 bar again, UNDO will now NOT strtch you back to 2 bars again (you could do this by RE-multyplying after all) no, UNDO will scan through the memory of the long layers that used to be there, clocking thru and erasing the layers until you are back to where you started, one bar phrase. Oh you can also reverse the loop and drop it to half speed... what about a short loop (more like an echo) where the delay feedback fades out, AND THEN UNDO, yes the delay COME BACK!!! Unbelievable...

Bassist from the Bay Area

Reviewer's Play Style: Creative all encompassing

I must say the new look, Black is much better than the Beige color they shipped with. Upon arrival there already was a dent in one side of the ears. That's bad, but I can live with that. How they get away with stuff like this is baffling to me. The manual is thorough but somewhat misleading. Often times what I found in the Manual was not showing on the device itself. The interface or GUI is non intuitive. There's a bug in the Record button on the footswitch if you "prime" it then press again, sometimes you'll get this horrible buzzing sound until you step on the record button to stop the noise. Some of the features are really great like sync to another Echoplex. I beta tested the "Repeater" by Electrix and found this device in the same league: Overfeatured and non-intuitive. I'm holding on to it because it has a bit more time than my Boomerang. If you want a straight forward user-friendly unit I recommend the Boomerang.
