The Echosonic was designed and hand-built by Ray Butts. While only 68 ever being built, the Echosonic found a unique place in history with a built-in tape echo (loop) unit. This patented tape loop echo system was one of the first guitar effects ever built, permanently installed in a high-quality custom-built guitar amp and speaker cabinet combo. First used publicly on a large-scale by Chet Atkins, Echosonic guitar combos have been used by many recording artists through the years including Luther Perkins (Johnny Cash), Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, and Scotty Moore. |
