The Echoplex is not an instrument that produces white noise. It is an ECHO UNIT that uses magnetic tape to make a delay loop of whatever sound is fed into it. CoF use this on the whole mix, and as such, being manipulated live by one of the band members, it is an instrument of sorts. The tape length can be varied at will to make shorter or longer delay loops, and it can be used as an instrument, but to be clear, it makes no sound on its own. It requires a sound source to be fed into it to work. It does not generate "pure white noise" at all.
And CoF are a rock band. A rock band that totally rules.
