I purchased this last month and it’s fabulous! Also, congratulations to Norway on their success at the Winter Olympics. Vikings rule!

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thank you!

[@andreasatlars4281]

It really nails that Binson character. The short notes got that "bounce" from the delay and it sounds like reverb on the sustained notes.

[@edwinvanbokhoven9009]

That opening on the bass is insane (One of these days).

[@markgardiner1767]

Yup, Thanks for sharing, this is awesome. May DAVID GILMOUR AND PINK FLOYD MUSIC LIVE ON!!!

[@EricTheCleric93]

Thank you so much for all the effort you've put into researching Gilmour's original gear and reviewing/demoing modern reproductions. Your website is an amazing resource. I don't know if "copying" tones is looked down upon for original music, but I at least get so much joy from just sitting in my bedroom and playing Gilmour riffs with a Fuzz Face mini and Catalinbread Echorec.

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thanks for your kind words!

Cannot imagine Echoes solo from pompeii played on this

[@lousekoya1803]

Thank you !

[@VSmolsky]

Great review as always Bjorn, when you upload a new video there is always something new to learn, even for a long-time follower like me👍The sounds of this plugin are convincing, it seems to capture the DNA of the old Echorec, but honestly they didn't make me want to sell my Gurus Echosex2 LTD 😄

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thank you!

[@hafstrat]

The boss dd200 almost does this bounce on standard delay but by shifting the part of the note that’s echoed. So you loose the initial attack of the note. At least it’s closer to my ears than anything else on the dd200. No where near the real thing I know. Is this how the echorec in part get its unique wondrous DG sound?

[@wcasante]

Amazing !

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thank you!

[@beenmicrophone5817]

Pulsar make the highest quality plugins, I've heard much smarter/skilled people say their plugins are on another level compared to the rest of the plugin market

[@gilmourishofficial]

I'm not smart or skilled but this is by far my favourite delay/echo plugin and I've never heard any other plugin that does the Binson this well.

[@PulsarPlugins]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

Wow! Sounds anazing! :D

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thanks!

[@ravenslaves]

I don't say this often, but I'm impressed. I'm not a fan of plugins as a rule. But this one could very easily change my mind. Nicely done demo. Very effective (pun)

Just need this in an enclosure now

[@arminius7799]

Amazing video as always Bjorn! How does the pulsar echorec plugin compare to the expensive boutique pedals that recreate the binson echorec sounds, such as echosex?

[@gilmourishofficial]

The Echosex is soundwise closer to a Mamemory Man, with Binson features. My favourite is the Boonar.

[@jayo2527]

Sonds good this plugin thank.... i have a question Where can i a get these backingtracks with organs... etc??? Thank you !

[@gilmourishofficial]

I recorded the tracks for this video.

[@CedricsSpecialLP]

Another great video. Now I have a question. Do you think you can recreate Gilmour’s tones using a device like the Line 6 Pod Go or Helix? Would be an interesting video since you can switch between several different amp and effects setups with a single push of a footswitch and also have them work like a regular pedalboard.

[@chadkcmo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmXZh3ajorOBodU Zoom G3

[@gilmourishofficial]

Yes, You can get his tones with just about anything. Depends on how you set up the gear you use. I've been using Line 6 in my home recording studio for years and IMO they're especially good on modulation and delays.

[@davidherber4233]

Thanks for this post and wish it was a lot longer! Does this plug-in work with Logic X? Love the tones of the Echorec

[@JR_Taylor]

I believe he was using it in in logic so fingers crossed

[@gilmourishofficial]

Yes. I'm using Logic X.

[@subhajitkhasnobish2370]

[@heyjoe1963]

I have a question in regards to all tube BINSON ECHOREC - ECHO UNITS copies available today, in your opinion what's the unit that you found to be best sounding overall that has a close warm analog tube like sounds when comparing to a Tube BINSON? Great playing....Thank you so much for all great playing and videos.

[@gilmourishofficial]

There have been some attempts at building replicas of the Binson. Very limited quantities and I've never tried them. Among the pedals, that don't have tubes, I think the Dawner Prince Boonar comes close. At least in terms of features and how the multiple head setups manages to capture that reverb like echo. The Strymon Volante is also great.

[@bluesman8522]

Man du får indspille for mig!!!!! :)

[@antonioangelino2153]

Hi, I came across this video by chance. Very interesting. What I'm wondering is what effects there are on David Gilmour's voice in Money. How did they create that sound on the voice?

[@gilmourishofficial]

I haven't looked into that but by the sound of it, probably a short reverb or delay.

[@antonioangelino2153]

@@gilmourishofficial Thanks!!

[@michaelcottle6270]

Great demo - you are better at recreating classic Floyd tones than DG :)

[@gilmourishofficial]

Thanks!

[@Alex-qi2hw]

Can you show full track from the start of this video? Pleeeeease

[@gilmourishofficial]

Sorry! I don't have more than this. It's something I recorded years ago as an intro for these reviews.

[@aleksandarmaletic4116]

I tried to install demo version offered on their web site, but my logic got stuck after the installation. Does anyone know what is the problem?

[@drewstapleton8384]

Sold!

[@jatna77]

What to you think of Strymon's Volante for an Echorec delay?

[@gilmourishofficial]

I haven't tried it.

[@ralphenz32]

Hello Gilmourish, I have an important question maybe you can answer please? On the song Echoes from Pink Floyd, besides the seagull sound of the guitar, in the background of the track, there is a ghostly sound, playing there. Is this the bass making that sound or something else in effect? It sounds like a bass on an echo being rubbed or swiped perhaps? Maybe you know? Thanks for your help ✌

[@gilmourishofficial]

They did that live, so I assume that’s what we’re hearing on the album as well. A slide on the bass neck with lots of echo. There’s a lot going on during that section. Guitar, bass, keyboards and sound effects.

[@ralphenz32]

@@gilmourishofficial Ok - thank you - really appreciate your channel 👍

[@bugeyedmudafuka2]

Whats the guitar that looks like a les paul custom bjorn?

[@gilmourishofficial]

Hagstrom Northen Swede.

[@neilslade]

A cool looking plugin for sure-- but I've found Soundtoys Echoboy does it all and more.

[@gilmourishofficial]

I don't agree. I've used the Echoboy for years and as much as I love it and depend on it in my production and mixing, it doesn't do the Binson anything near this.

Goodbye catalinbread echorec hello pulsar

[@JR_Taylor]

just found the pulsar echorec is 70% off for the next 7 days vst buzz

[@arensel84]

It's nice for a delay, but really doesn't sound like a real Binson. I have a few of them. My channel has some demos too. Nothing digital has ever been able to accurately recreate the magnetic drum head. Especially the reverb sound it makes from long repeat tails. BTW, nothing I've seen out there can replicate the Binson Echorec, really, I've been looking for years at this point. The Boonar does the best at the multi head emulation. Look at all the different pedals available that say they recreate the Binson sound... they all sound different. 🤔

[@gilmourishofficial]

Absolutely but I think you also can agree that two seemingly identical Binson units sound different due to age and wear. The Pulsar is a digital plugin and obviously won't capture all the physics of a real unit but with some tweaking and in a mix it's pretty impressive.

[@anavolar3253]

F.... Your ton is 3D listen whid good headfons

[@McLguitars]

Plugins don't count! 👎🏻 I was almost impressed for a minute.

Is the fact that you were 'almost impressed' not a sign that plugins might actually count?
