2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the multi-award winning Gurus Echosex, which faithfully emulates the warm, analogue sound of the legendary Binson Echo. So it made sense for Foxgear to launch a signature version of the Echosex 3. The first name that came to mind for the pedal builders was Steve Lukather. Steve has been using his Echosex 2°, 3° or Echosex Baby pedals since 2014 for EVERYTHING in the studio and live gigs with TOTO and RINGO STARR. The Foxgear Group and Luke wanted to celebrate their long-standing friendship and professional relationship with this new product.

Steve Lukather says: “The Echosex 3° is the most important and most used piece of equipment I have, it’s always on and it’s a big part of my sound.” (S. Lukather 2023)

When the Foxgear makers looked at Steve’s pedalboard and noticed how his Guitar Tech Jon Gosnell marked Luke’s settings with a green pen, they wanted to incorporate that nice little detail into the new signature model, making Luke’s favourite setting available to all.

Plus, Foxgear would like to use the 10th Anniversary Edition to support the Ed Asner Family Center For Autism – an LA-based charity founded by legendary actor Ed Asner that helps autistic children and their families. Gurus/Foxgear is therefore donating part of the proceeds from Luke’s Signature Echosex 3° sales to support this charity.
