The Lofi nature of my demo doesn't do this pedal justice. Compared to my Small Echo Array I'd say it was worth the extra 200$...and I Really like the SEA and think it does a convincing job of emulating my Binson. Besides the fact it's built like a brick, it has a very fine degree of tweaking the "halo reverb" effect using the feedback and treble/bass knobs. I thought that it would miss the mark considering you cannot adjust for multihead configurations, but compared to my Binson it comes a lot closer to capturing the overall tone than the SEA. It is expensive and it sounds like it, the degrade knob does a pretty good job of sounding somewhat random while it doesn't get too far out there...which is probably closer to how a real machine out of whack would actually sound. I don't see it as replacing my SEA because that pedal does some pretty amazing things with the pickup head configuring, but the Echosex is certainly one VERY fine sounding delay. I don't know what affect the tube has, the pedal runs off of 9v like any other pedal and I don't know if the tube can have much effect...but that's all over my head. I do know the Echosex sounds damn nice, and can get a gritty almost distorted sound when it gets going. It would be pretty damn impressive if it had a multihead feature and I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually come out with one, I did read they had built a prototype with selectors but that it would have been too expensive. Also from looking at the build, it doesn't look like it is going to be easy to roll tubes in it. I can see this being among my favorite delay pedals right up there with my Moogerfooger. I still need to try it out with fuzz though
