Size

9.56” wide x 7.8” deep x 6.3” tall (with lid on and closed) 
 

Weight

9.2 lbs. 
 

Tape format

‐  

You may only use the 

Fulltone Echo Tape Cart (ETC‐2)

 a normal Echoplex cart is the wrong size. 

Carts made for the TTE and Echoplex will NOT function in a SSTE. 
We try to only use BASF LGR‐50 tape for our Carts which is no longer made, but I have many thousands 
of yards of it, enough for 30 years or more. It is one of the only tapes that works because it has a white 
lubricated backing, helping to keep the tape from sticking, then binding. 
You may also use the 

Fulltone Tape Loop Transport (TLT), 

giving the

 

choice of using any available ¼” 

tape.  Make the tape loop exactly the recommended length (see TLT box) 
 

Electrical info‐

  

100‐120VAC, 60hz, 6 watts.  
The wiring for the transformer can be easily modified for 220/240 VAC 50hz operation inside the unit. 
 

Fuse‐ 

0.25amp/250mA 5mm x 20mm glass Slow‐Blow fuse. 

 

Included‐

  

1 x Detachable 10’ IEC type AC power cable 
1 x 3‐to‐2 Prong ground lift adapter for AC power cable 
1 X ETC‐2 Tape cartridge (pre‐installed in SSTE) 
 

Optional: Echo‐Cancel Footswitch‐ 

To cancel the echo on a SSTE v2, you can use a latching “amp channel switcher” footswitch that 
grounds out the TIP of a ¼” male phono plug.  But, if you want to have LED status indicators without 
having to supply any power, the only footswitch to get is the 

Fulltone Echo Cancel Footswitch
