Description
The Evans analog echo uses bucket brigade devices (BBD), an early pre-digital technology now much liked for its sonic properties
The AE-205R combines BBD analog delay with spring reverb to make an analogue cult classic. Great-sounding delay with 2-band equaliser, switchable input & output levels for use with instruments & line level sources. Inputs & outputs are via front-panel jacks. The internal spring reverb is dark & well-damped but has real character
“Evans AE205 analogue echo. In a league of its own”
“Like all great vintage echo units, it is not just the delay that it provides, but an amazing preamp that that can either push the front end of your amp or goose the power tubes in an effects loop”
“If you want the fat warmth of a vintage preamp, the clarity of a digital delay and the organic feel of a tape delay without all the maintenance of magnetism, this is your huckleberry. A peerless unit”
“Warm and lively, but with the treble and bass controls for the repeats you can achieve a clarity and body the likes of which I have not heard on any other bucket brigade device”
In very good condition for a vintage unit. Knobs & switches are all original – this is a rare survivor in this condition. Pots & switches cleaned, tested & working 100%. Photos show the delay line for sale
