Life
The legendary reverb device with vocal amplifier " Echolette ", which many well-known musicians such as The Beatles or Chuck Berry used in the 1960s and 1970s, was produced by Arthur Klemt for many years in Olching near Munich. The original Echolette devices are still sought-after collector's items today because of their soft and full sound.
