‘70s Univox EC100 - Vintage Tape Echo w/ HD-5000 Infinite Tape Cartridge

‘70s Univox EC100 - Vintage Tape Echo w/ HD-5000 Infinite Tape Cartridge

This is a Univox EC100 Echo Chamber, a real-deal vintage tape echo unit from the 1970s. It uses an HD-5000 infinite tape cartridge to deliver authentic analog delay with all the warmth, warble, and character that only real tape can provide. With straightforward controls for delay time, repeats, and blend, it’s both intuitive to use and deeply expressive. The unit has been fully tested, with all pots and jacks cleaned for reliable, quiet operation.

Fire it up, and the tone speaks for itself. The EC100 offers a smooth, dark echo trail that saturates just right, blooming with that unmistakable tape compression and natural modulation. Whether you're laying down washed-out ambient textures, gritty dub repeats, or rhythmic slapback, this machine responds musically and organically. Push it and it self-oscillates beautifully — controlled, musical, and full of texture. The HD-5000 cartridge system ensures long, stable operation with minimal fuss.

Cosmetically, the unit shows minor wear consistent with age but remains in very good condition overall. Functionally, it’s solid and roadworthy, equally at home in a vintage studio or a live rig. If you’re after true tape echo without compromise, the Univox EC100 is a piece of analog history that still earns its place in modern signal chains.
