Replicates the four “playback head” functionality of the Binson with the added ability to change the delay time so you can go from classic Binson
short multi-head echoes to longer delays that maintain the syncopated multi-head rhythms, extending the range of possibilities way beyond
what even the real Binson could do. Plus, you can manipulate the delay time control in real-time to get Echoplex-like spaceship landing sounds
- something that was impossible to do on the Binson.
User-tunable modulation on the repeats that simulates the warble of the rotating platter. Or set more extreme to achieve new dimensions in
chorus textures.
True-bypass or “trails mode” operation. Trails mode allows the repeats to continue even after you hit the bypass switch and also leaves the
Echorec’s beautiful pre-amp in your signal chain at all times.
Mix knob goes from full dry to full wet giving a lot of flexibility to use the Echorec in a variety of situations, even wet/dry rigs by setting the Mix
full wet.
Exclusive Tone control tilts the EQ of the repeats from dark and fat to bright and thin. Dark settings makes the repeats sit in the background.
Bright settings emphasizes the attack, great for playing off the syncopated rhythms of the multi-head arrangement.
The Swell knob controls the number of repeats regenerated - from a single repeat of each playback head to infinite repeats.
We love the all-tube audio path of the original Binson. It just makes your guitar sound betterer. We came up with a discrete two-transistor
preamp driver circuit that also makes you guitar sound biggerer and betterer. What you’ll experience is a dynamic responsiveness to your playing
that may exceed even the tube circuit in the actual Binson! There are no buffers in the audio path. Buffers limit dynamic response, we don’t
like that. And it will sound awesome when stacked with your favorite dirt and fuzz pedals, retaining their dynamics and touch sensitivity. An
internal trimmer sets the gain - from unity to a pretty substantial boost. And we mean substantial! Plus, well, read on and we’ll tell you about
the easter egg later! ;-)
9 to 18 volt operation. 9 volts is great for all uses and is especially good for creating “ambient soup” textures - the notes swirl together really
nicely. 18 volts is potentially louder and gives more headroom and more separation - particularly good for playing off the rhythms created by
the multi-tap heads.
