Echolette Echo 400
« Thread Started on Nov 26, 2008, 4:37pm »

Hi everyone,
I´m a new member and an active guitarplayer. A few days ago I bought a brand new but 33 years old Echolette Echo 400. It was in the orginal box with a warrenty bill but there was no manual.
Are there anyone who knows where to get a copy or if there is any manual on the Internet.
Kind regards,
Goran Adeborn

Hi Goran, and welcome to our forum, Charlie thinks it's his but it belonga all of us

This may be of some help I found it on the net.....
He turned on the amp en tape echo. The echo has an eye showing the warmup
period, lovely. It has one EM84, three
ecc83 and one ecc82 tube. Don't know if they are that old too, but I got
five Telefunken (Philips) tubes for free. Anyway,
the inside was pretty dusty. Tape looks good, sounds good too, when turning
up the amp loud you can hear the tape hiss,
but I suppose that is what they do. Got another tape too. This thing is
heavy by the way.
The echo can be played standalone, with a switch on the inside. It should be
less noisy, and way better, but I don't feel
like experimenting, he said he forget most of the options by time. This
thing is from between '62 and '67.
There is a print on the inside: "Achtung! Bei Betrieb mit Verstarker M40
muss mit Pfeil markierter Pegelregler geschlossen
sein!". Yeah ... sure ... I saw on Melmusic's website in Australia, that
they sell manuals for this echo. Gonna buy one this
evening
I have not got the time to go looking at the moment but maybe, just maybe it could be usefull, it was all apertaining to the Echolette 400

Not a manual, but only a specification sheet in German. Here it is just in case it might help : http://www.el-me-se.de/pdf_files/Echo400.pdf
