Wilco Loft Shop - 60's Tube WEM Copy Cat owned by Jeff Tweedy

For sale here is a vintage Watkins-Guild Copicat Tape echo. This is one of the early tube versions(not solid state) These were made for Guild by Watkins for sale in USA so there is no need for a step-down voltage converter.

I was told by the previous owner that the filter cap has been replaced. Also, a 3 prong grounded AC plug and a high quality switchcraft output jack have been added. The RCA footswitch connector is still attached.

The unit works but has some ground noise that probably can be fixed up with a tube swap. Having access to the loop as it plays allows you to make some really unique effects.

The tape loop broke on this so I can't test it but it was working ok last time it was used in the studio. It can get a little wobbly sometimes... it takes a special touch to get it rolling right but like an old Echorec, it's worth it once you futz enough to get it rolling right. It may be a little noisy but every one I've ever heard has the same level of noise. 

Buyer pays shipping. Please ask questions if you have them. This will come with a certificate of authenticity signed by Jeff Tweedy stating that yes, this belonged to him.
