Colin's echo machine is one of two reproduction machines, of which I have the other one. they took 3 years to develop, and there were 7 prototypes. The prototypes have all been scrapped. The electronics are today's technology, but the circuits closly follow the Vox/Meazzi unit. We sourced and used many vintage Meazzi parts in the project. There will be no more of these produced as the project was exclusively for Colin. Colin still has the Atlantis unit which he currently has with him as a spare machine.

This is highly interesting. Could we have more details about these units ?

I agree with you Didier, very interesting! Any close up photos on the echo unit???

BTW, a few years ago, Patrice Bastien made a Meazzi drum unit clone from a Binson valve unit. The heads spacing has been altered to match those of the Meazzi, and the unit has been totally rewired according to the Meazzi schematics, it sounds great, but the only trouble is that it still looks like a Binson outside !

IMO the echo sound from the modified Binson are very authentic!
