Catalinbread Echorec Multi-Tap Echo Effects Pedal
The BinsonEchorec was so cool we had no choice but to bring it back. And we wanted tobring it back right. We wanted to take all the goodness of that huge BinsonEchorec and squeeze it down into a standard sized stompbox without losinganything. In fact, in addition to not losing any of the qualities that made itsuch a compelling musical device, we wanted to EXTEND its capabilities becausethe original Binson hinted at possibilities that it couldn’t realize. We’retalking about variable delay time! We thought, “What if we had the same fourplayback head concept but could stretch the delay time out beyond the 300mS ofthe original Binson?” Then the rhythmic patterns suggested by the variouscombinations of those four playback heads could really come to life!
Key Features
- User-tunablemodulation on the repeats that simulates the warble of the rotating platter. Orset more extreme to achieve new dimensions in chorus textures
- True-bypassor “trails mode” operation. Trails mode allows the repeats to continue evenafter you hit the bypass switch and also leaves the Echorec’s beautiful pre-ampin your signal chain at all times
- Mix knobgoes from full dry to full wet giving a lot of flexibility to use the Echorecin a variety of situations, even wet/dry rigs by setting the Mix full wet
- ExclusiveTone 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 settingsemphasizes the attack, great for playing off the syncopated rhythms of themulti-head arrangement
- The Swellknob controls the number of repeats regenerated – from a single repeat of eachplayback head to infinite repeat
- The TONEknob controls the timbre of the echo repeats. It is a tilt style tone control.Around 12 o’clock you’ll get a relatively flat, neutral EQ
- The originalEchorec had a maximum delay time of 300ms. The delay time on the CatalinbreadEchorec goes from about 40ms -1000ms
