SOLD - Korolec Atlantis 1 Echo Unit – Shadows Echo Modelling – UK 2003

SOLD

This is an extremely rare Atlantis 1 Echo Unit – one of only 300 ever made.

Shadows fans know the Atlantis 1 as the holy grail for emulating all of Hank Marvin’s classic echo sounds.

The Atlantis 1 is a handmade, rack mounting analog delay, emulating the sounds of the following fabled vintage tape echo units  –

Watkins Copicat

Vox Domino

Vox Long Tom

Meazzi PA 304

Binson Baby Echo 2

Binson Export

Roland RE-301

Meazzi Disc-Echoes

The sound is amazing, very warm and organic repeats with a beautiful breakup.

The controls feature a preamp section with Volume, Hi-Norm-Lo Input toggle switch and Tone control.

Next is the Tape section with Speed, tone character Filter (to emulate early Shadows songs) and Wow & Flutter (tape echo ‘imperfection’ control).

The Echo section has a Repeat (delay length), Echo (effect volume), Bank 1 & 2 select toggle switch and a Select button to choose Echo model.

This is a 240V machine, so no need a step-down transformer in Aust.

This Atlantis 1 comes in its original box, complete with a power cord and 3 x booklets with presets for just about every Shadows song ever recorded.
