1965 Orig Fender Echo Reverb Oil Can Adineko Tel Ray Electronics LA CA Made
Listen up you little Effect Wing Nuts.... I bought this while in NY recent.. because it's Vintage Fender, this is the Most sought after Model.. AND It works as it should... I do not know everything about these, it's 1960's. I just put 65.. It's Old OK
You know I myself own million of effects, never use a 1... I just seem to plug straight with the cord.. Works for me*
I did this video as selling the 68 Strat, and I just winged it...I set the Echo slight, and little heavy on the Reverb....But thing gets Zepplin FREAKY!
This model in clean shape I seen sold for $800...Yes you see some JUNK ones, not working to good sell cheaper... I really do like All year's of Vintage Fender... Living in Leo's dream.
TEL-RAY is a long-forgotten California electronics company that made "tape-less echo effects" in the 60's, before analog delay pedals existed.
The mastermind behind this space-age approach to delay effects Tel-Ray's head honcho, Ray Lubow.
Instead of tape, "Adineko Memory System" used what looks like a tuna can filled with electrolytic oil. A tiny motor pulls a miniature rubber belt, spinning a flywheel armed with a pickup inside the can, acting like a recording head, sloshing it around in the oil to produce echo.
While some Adineko effects were designed to create delay and reverb, others produced a strange pitch-shifting effect, an uneven and somewhat schizophrenic warbling sound.
