Riff And Run: Catalinbread Echorec Drum Delay Demo

Guitar demo of the dreamy drum delay pedal, the Echorec by Catalinbread.
The Echorec is a faithful recreation of the legendary Binson EchoRec. The lush and dreamy echoes of the EchoRec are one of the most coveted pieces of gear on the market due to David Gilmour's use of it in the early Pink Floyd days.
But even though the Binson EchoRec takes the spot as one of the most iconic echo units ever made, it wasn't without its faults and limitations. These shortcomings have been alleviated by the Catalinbread gang, seeing you gain access to the epic tones of yesteryear, but now with extended delay time, tone control and a plethora of playhead programs, which gives you access to anything from hypnotic rhythmical repeats to smeary ambient echoes.
This is a true multi-head echo marvel!
Gear used:
Squier Classic Vibe Strat (Simon Neill Signature)
Fairfield Circuitry Accountant Compressor
Catalinbread EchoRec
JHS Morning Glory V4
TCE Ditto Looper Gold
Fender Deluxe Reverb RI 65 recorded with an Aston Origin mic

Best demo about this pedal, hands down. You nailed the essence of this pedal better than anyone. Well done.

[@thepedalzone]

+OverJam52 - Wow! That's unbelievably kind of you. Thank you so much

[@OverJam52]

It's true though. The echorec is really an ambient delay type in my humble opinion, and you showcased that beautifully.

[@mindgoblin7068]

This is about the sixth demo I’ve watched of this pedal tonight just because I just ordered one after being without it for a few years.. and your demo is definitely the best. I get lost in its sounds every time and can’t wait to have one again 🙏🏼

[@AwakeFM]

Love your playing man. The riff at 2:30 really hit me, I swear I've played it like 10 times since finding this video last night. You also sold another Echorec ;)

[@thepedalzone]

Awwww, man! That's incredible. Thank you ❤

[@Matthew-Lewis]

Stefan, thank you for this review. I purchased this and am absolutely in love with the tones. As always, your playing is gorgeous.

[@thepedalzone]

And thank you for the kind comment! The Echorec is wonderful. Happy to hear you're enjoying yours

[@badalicemusic]

Fantastic demo and thanks for sharing the settings - SO helpful!

[@absterama]

This takes me to the zone--where words don't exist, just imagination and sound

[@thepedalzone]

Abie Arcilla - Awwww, thanks! My favorite place to be

[@ryanbender2462]

Unbelievably awesome!! Thanks

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@Pedalnerds]

Great demo!

[@thepedalzone]

Nathan Shafer - Thank you, my friend :)

[@thenewmedic]

Stefan my man, you've convinced me NOT to sell my Echorec. Very inspiring stuff.

[@thepedalzone]

Awesome! It's a great delay pedal

[@SmevMev]

Stunning playing, Stefan :)

[@thepedalzone]

Dude! Thank you! So happy you liked it :)

[@ElephantTusks]

Great video, but could you do some additional videos on composition? Absolutely love the last segment in the video. Would really like to see more videos/tutorials on your actual playing style.

[@thepedalzone]

ElephantTusks - Thank you so much, man! So happy you like the demo :) Sure, I could try to make some more tutorial based videos. Is there anything specific you would like to know more about? All the best Stefan

[@gordrock]

Great work again mate, outstanding.

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so much, Andrew! :)

[@PedalsFusion]

Awesome video as always,just keep on !

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks a lot, guys! Really happy you liked it :)

[@PedalsFusion]

Frankly, everything is perfect.

[@sandyturner1911]

Amazing! Cheers! I must have one of those!

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed the demo. It's a lovely delay pedal

[@conorkane4203]

Love the channel. I've had so many delays, strymons, ehx, walrus, chase bliss, all great. For a great multi head atmospheric thing the catalinbread is amazing. Just have to come to terms with the built in gain stage. I prefer the straight ahead sounds from it against my volante but I do like the sound on sound but I'm not a midi guy so...

[@zosojstro]

This demo convinced me to add the echorec back on my buy list to join the Boss DD20 for dual delay onslaught love your playing too. Definitely a GAS channel 😂

[@thepedalzone]

Happy you enjoyed it. It's a beautiful delay pedal 😊

[@panhandlegeardemos6837]

Nice demo! I love my echorec:)

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you very much! Means a lot to me that you like it :) Yeah, it's a killer delay pedal. All the best Stefan

[@GarthIvers]

Just lovely!

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it 😊

[@Bobby_Digital37]

Dam that is an amazing pedal!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@thepedalzone]

Yeah, it's really good!

[@loveisrealdudes]

So so good

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you so so much ❤️

[@Dam-oH]

Great demo. I ordered one of these. I know when I play, it won’t Sound this good. I’ll give it a go though!

[@thepedalzone]

Thanks, man! I'm sure you'll sound even better. It's a killer delay pedal!

[@flynn_22]

Luv it

[@davids9192]

Have bought way too many pedals recently but when I heard the opening bars of your fist riff

[@davids9192]

Have bought way too many pedals recently but when I heard the openings bars of your first riff I dug in deep and slapped an order in for an Echorec which I pick up tomorrow. Many thanks in anticipation! Am old enough to have seen Gilmour use the Binson with Floyd so really looking forward to seeing what I can get out of it. Cheers!

[@thepedalzone]

That's rad, man! It's a killer pedal. Hope you enjoy it. Let me know once you've had some time with it ☺👍

[@rickbray8088]

I wish the the program select was a rotary knob, my only complaint

[@rocl420]

Hehe red strat for a Gilmour pedal, good on ya

[@realgoodmind]

I've been trying to tame this pedal for a month +. I still need more hlep I bet.

[@jorriffhdhtrsegg]

Seems better than the new boss space RE space echo pedals?!

[@horaciohectorperalta]

Muchos acordes.Tiene que puntear para esclarecer el sonido limpio.¿Precio in U$S.?😅

[@eternity9099]

I’ve been wanting to pick this up for a while now, but ever since Catalinbread came out with the Belle Epoch Deluxe I have this suspicion that they’ll make a deluxe version of the Echorec at some point.

[@thepedalzone]

Just go for it, dude. You won't regret it. It's just an exceptional delay pedal!

[@simonschole]

I like you dude

[@thepedalzone]

Thank you! You're pretty cool as well, man!

[@nickf2170]

Will these run on a 9 v or 18v power supply?

[@loreleihacking5823]

what chords are you playing at 1:14? it sounds so good!!

[@empathysgone96]

bro your reviews are always dynamic! this or the strymon el cap? I know they are a bit different but was wondering on your take? I play acoustic mainly and prefer a pedal that is not so noisy. looking for an echo delay for occasional dark deep swells of echosthanks

[@nlmal4]

Now I have a tough choice to make between flashback (TCE) and echorec🤔

[@thepedalzone]

I've owned both and I greatly prefer the EchoRec. But I guess it all comes down to if you need a delay pedal that can produce a lot of different delay tones, or a pedal that delivers a specific delay sound flawlessly :)

[@guitarplayer2846]

I've been checking out delay pedals for a year. Catalinbread is head and shoulders above the others. I love, love, love my Belle Epoch and the Echorec is going on my board too.

[@redseadiver43]

Can someone plz tell me the difference btween this and belle epoque delay pedal?

[@thepedalzone]

Echorec is Catalinbread's take on the Binson Echorec multi-head drum delay, and the Belle Epoch is their take on the Maestro Echoplex EP-3 tape delay.

[@joshmuz9018]

And at 2:40 we have Hillsong bethel and the praise and worship sound of this generation

[@thepedalzone]

Josh Muz - Okay. Have no idea what that is.

[@afterglow2020]

@@thepedalzone He's saying it sounds like the music they play at church.

[@antonioroman4895]

Pardon the ignorance. But does your DRRI has an effects loop ? Does it sound that good in front of the Amp ?

[@thepedalzone]

No, it doesn't have an effects loop. I always run every pedal I demo on this channel, straight into the front of the amp. So yes, the Catalinbread EchoRec simply sounds this good in front of the amp 😊
