Reviving a legendary drum echo for modern players.
The T-Rex Engineering Binson Echorec Delay Effects Pedal faithfully recreates the iconic sound of the original Binson Echorec, a classic echo device used by legendary musicians like David Gilmour and Hank Marvin. With its unique drum-based echo system, the Echorec offers a distinctive, organic delay that stands apart from tape or digital delays. T-Rex has meticulously researched and revived this forgotten technology, allowing modern musicians to enjoy the same lush, rhythmic echoes that defined guitar tones of the 1950s and beyond.
Drum-Based Echo for Authentic Vintage Tone
Unlike typical delay pedals, the Binson Echorec uses a rotating metal drum to record and play back echoes, resulting in a rich, warm delay effect. The pedal features four individual playback heads that allow players to select different echo patterns and swells, delivering a wide range of tonal possibilities. With two recording heads offering short and long delays, and adjustable drum speed control, the Echorec provides a dynamic and responsive delay unlike any other.
Advanced Controls and Studio-Ready Features
The Binson Echorec includes individual level adjustments for each playback head, giving players precise control over their delay effects. A "magic eye" visual indicator helps monitor input levels, while the pedal’s balanced in/out connections make it perfect for both live and studio use. With options for adjusting drum speed externally and connecting an external bypass switch, the Echorec offers flexible control for any playing environment.
Recreate the Sounds of Music Legends
The Echorec's combination of repeats and swells offers the same vintage echo effects heard on classic recordings, from David Gilmour’s expansive guitar solos to John Bonham’s use of echo on drums. Whether you're crafting atmospheric soundscapes or adding rhythmic texture to your playing, the Binson Echorec Delay is a powerful tool for musicians who want to explore the echoes of the past with modern precision.
