That's strange; the original Echoplex units were famous for slightly cutting the low end and boosting the high end -- an effect of the preamp circuits built into them. The Fulltone SSTE replicates this effect, though I believe it also allows you to bypass it. Likewise, for the sound of the repeats themselves, the Fulltone SSTE lets you switch between "Vintage Highs" (which actually rolls off the highs, mimicking the use of a capacitor to damp down hiss in the original Echoplexes) and "Brilliant Echoes" (which, in contrast, does not do that). So, anyway, if you have the Preamp set to "EP-3" and also the "Brilliant Highs" setting selected, you should end up with slightly more high-end (and less bass) than in your unprocessed guitar signal.
That said, remember that "old school" guitarists usually used the Echoplex
before their amps --
not in an FX loop or as a post-cab-microphone effect -- and so that may also affect how it is sounding for you. (I always use the SSTE model in the "pedal" section of Amplitube! I
kind of understand why it is presented by default as a "rack" unit, but I also kind of
don't.)
All that said, I also tend to use
very low settings on delay and reverb units in Amplitube. I think this accurately models the real units, though, for the most part. Most any physical delay/reverb pedal etc. will cheerfully let you dial in some crazy-extreme sounds.
You might well
want to do that, for some fabulous artistic reason or momentary special effect, but I think
most players
probably keep that stuff fairly tame in most circumstances.
