Having recorded demos for the Zoom, it's only fair to do the same and show off the etap2hw. This is the valve based model built by Ecca.
I used the Vox AC30 sim in Logic for this, with the eTap direct through the Focusrite module into the Mac. Here we have Apache & Kon Tiki.
I think it equals the Zoom G3x soundwise in every way. If all you require is a simple easy to use echo box, this is the one for you. :)

I've been playing around with both the eTap and G3, and whilst the G3 gives a lot of permutations in your echo sounds and other very usable guitar and amp effects, I prefer the eTap in terms of its overall sound. I adjusted Dave's G3 patches by reducing compression, adjusting eq etc so that it sounds like an echo unit, rather than the 'recorded sound' and I like it that way, but to my ears, the eTap shades it on sound. :D

ps should have said the sf's sound great.

Thanks Alan, the sound-files illustrate what the eTap2hw can do. Ecca did a superb job on my two.
I have one of mine for sale in the marketplace.
