I got my first Echoplex back in '77 at a little guitar store in Maryville, TN. I bought it on impulse, actually. Besides the swimmy echo the thing imparted, I was also impressed with that "certain... special... soomethin*," probably a little touch of upper-mid glassiness, it added to the sound even when adjusted to unity gain as it was intended. I can imagine that would also be cool if you can add it with increased gain.
