Catalinbread Echorec delay effects pedal

General

The Catalinbread Echorec is the resurrection of the legendary Binson Echorec multi-head drum echo. This effect was the driving force behind Pink Floyd's unforgettable performance at the amphitheatre in Pompeii. More explanation shouldn't really be necessary, but this Echorec goes a step further than the original Binson. Not only is the Catalinbread a lot more compact, the effects pedal also offers more functionality. Of particular note is the variable time delay which has now been extended from 300 up to 1000 milliseconds. With the swell control, you can set the number of repetitions from one to infinity. Tone works as an equaliser and goes from dark and fat to bright and thin. You can even adjust the level of the effects with the Mix control for more flexibility.

Echorec: pedal settings

Whether you like subtle echos or something that sounds more like a spaceship landing in your back garden, everything is possible with the Catalinbread Echorec. Finding just the right settings, however, can be a little tricky in the beginning. One tip is to try the pedal on its own through an amplifier with a clean setting first. You can then get to know the pedal best by setting Swell to minimum, and Tone, Delay Time and Mix to 12 o'clock. From this point you can play around on your guitar and try the different settings on the Program select control. The higher the number on the Program Select, the more extensive the effects. Before you know it, you will be immersed in a sea of rhythmic pulses that will inspire you like never before.
