Evoloop will do all that the legendary Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro Plus (EDP) did, plus:
- true stereo
- smaller
- lower cost
- less noise
- 260x64 pixel LCD display, readable in direct sunlight
- power down loop recall
- USB and Ethernet connections
- 19" rackmount or table top
- no mechanical parts nor holes in the front pannel, so very resistent
Plus: ...it has this magical look...

so unplug the Echoplex, plug in the Evoloop and play. No need to learn new things!

BUT we want more:
- its an Evoloop and will evolve!
- we gathered loads of ideas over the last two decades of discussion on the web and at the festivals...
- the processor is 100 times more powerful than the EDP's, so we have the power to implement all that...

so far its prototype. front pannel and mechanics are working, but we restarted several times with different ARM modules. it still will take several months... the best solution would be an experienced partner!

another reason this project had to wait for over a year now is the death of Rolf Spuler which made Matthias prioize the saving of the common achievements - 30 years of hard work and an incredible result:
