T-Rex Binson Echorec Vs Vintage Baby Rec, Volante, Boonar, Catalinbread Echorec & Boss DD-200

What I love most about these guys is their overwhelming, uncontrollable need to simply touch the knobs. So many times you see fingers in the closeup camera just caressing, but not moving, the knobs. It cracks me up.

[@orryfishburne5326]

I wish i could afford a T-Rex Binson Echorec and/or an Echo Fix tape echo. One day i will get the pleasure of playing through an analog beauty like them. Love how T-Rex brought the Echorec back from the dead.

Nothing better than waking up to a That Pedal Show episode all about amazing delays. I can’t get enough of it. The coffee is ready.

[@basicsforbaroqueimprovisation]

Thank you Dan & Mick ! Excellent details in here. I have the Strymon Volante and love it. You two deliver such great content every week. With Gratitude - John

[@davidhuggins16]

Great demos. The echorec emulation sounds very faithful there. It’s interesting how influential the original Binson unit was in the history of electronic music too. I understand Delia Derbyshire used an Echorec at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 60s, and there are notes in her archive which show she also used it at what was billed as the first-ever concert of electronic music at the Watermill theatre in 1966.

[@danabnormal5892]

Dd-200 is all I need on my board. It covers so much ground, simple to use and sounds ace.

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Yep. I have the DD-500 = an entire toolbox of Delay to sculpt & tweak. I found my perfect delay-pedal.

[@sixslinger9951]

but you will NEED to get the RV 200 to compliment the DD 200 ;)

[@DBroce]

I was able to play the Binson at NAMM for about one minute and eight seconds. Best purchase I’ve made in years.

[@chilidogcowboy]

Catalinbred has been a great tool for making a front end vintage-y slapback verb as well as for making a stacking delay with my now old school tc-nova delays at the end of the chain/in the loop. The internal pot is useful for giving a nice pre-amp ‘crispiness’ and can be dialed up to deliver a very musical fuzz. That tone control is the cats pajamas with the sweep cutting the lows for a great slapback that doesn’t add mud, or for a warm ambiance when turned left. It’s great to see these pedals altogether here-thanks gentlemen!

[@chrismathews6338]

Before I found TPS I would never have properly appreciated, and certainly not understood the differences between different delay pedals and styles. Thank you D&M for the wealth of information you share with us all. Picked up a Catalinbread Echorec on eBay this week after this episode and absolutely loving it 😁

You’re so welcome Chris 🤓🙏

[@neilgaydon5430]

I bought an original T7E Binson earlier this year. Howard 'the legend' at MAC in Leeds who services David Gilmour, Pete Townsend etc Binson's did the works on it. Totally amazing. I've used a Catlinbread Echorec on my board for years now which has been great...BUT its not the same, the original is magical. The problem is...hours go lost in a psychedelic trip when its on

[@bryanh3057]

Dan’s love for the music and for guitar is infectious. It inspires me to show more joy when I’m playing. 😊

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah, thanks mate 🤓🙏

[@johnmundt7834]

I have the Boonar and a DD500. The echorec emulation in the boss is actually very good, but the preamp/buffer in the Boonar is great. I took it out of my chain to demo a new pedal and couldn’t believe how much worse everything sounded. Really ties the room together.

[@timjx3675]

Got to agree my Boonar just has “something” which gives my tone a real character I can’t do without

[@Telorchid]

Boonar should make a a White Russian edition.

[@CorbCorbin]

Have you checked the input and output impedance on the Boonar? You should be able to get a buffer, that can do what it is, as far as acting to retain more of your tone’s clarity, when not using the Boonar.

[@TeleCustom72]

Fuckin A man

[@johnmundt7834]

@@CorbCorbin you can change how the bypass works on the Boonar so that when the delay isn’t engaged you still get the benefit of the buffer, I meant when I had literally removed the pedal from the board

I'm completely not in the market for the T-Rexorec but I've been waiting impatiently for this episode and it doesn't disappoint: a real TPS deep-dive that will teach us all a lot about drum delays.

[@themattitude]

Glad to see the DD-200 on the board. I think it's a really solid option, and it's definitely different from a tape delay emulation.

[@nstrug]

It’s brilliant right up until you try it (or any other 200 series pedal) with MIDI clock. Then you realise Roland have massively screwed up (as effectively admitted to me by Roland U.K. support).

[@Quimmoo]

@@nstrug Roland and MIDI clock really have some tough relationships lmao.

[@nstrug]

@@Quimmoo yeah it’s so disappointing. I’m thinking of selling my DD-200 and MD-200 because of it. I could replace the DD with an Alexander Rewind but not sure what I could replace the MD with in the same compact format. I have the Alexander Space Force and it’s brilliant (and handles clock signals in a sane way) but they don’t do a multi-mod.

[@blakejefferson6921]

Beautiful playing Dan!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah, cheers mate 🤓🙏

[@FreeThinkBcurious]

Would you redo this with the Cicognani Engineering Le Prism and the other newer models like the Pompeii T1 and pe603. The Echosex is old and outdated. Maybe add in the Meris LVX? Please. :-)

[@hukl3945]

Ever since you had the Boonar on your show for the first time, it's on my pedal board and is the only pedal I've never swapped out. It is my always on pedal - also thanks to its pre amp sound and how it gels with the rest of my chain.

[@weschilton]

First of all... best ending jam to any TPS show ever! Hahaha, tears in the eyes laughter! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Echorec. My wife is going to kill me because I'm going to buy one (and I have a Volante!). Great video guys!

[@terryeaster1]

16:15 this guitar work Dan, I have to say is absolutely beautiful

[@RobCrawford23]

The Boonar repeats can be darkened by one of the rear mounted trim ports, also there is an internal DIP switch for impedance (47K original or 1M modern) and it's factory set to the 1M for a bit more sparkle and volume. The preamp trimmer also makes a fair difference to the tone of the Boonar

[@Bairov]

My first thought was that it was too bright. This is good news

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

Yep yep!! Boonar for the win!!!!

[@horizonishere]

Two delay shows in a row makes me happy

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

Damn that TRex is fucking nice. Sounds and looks amazing. The Boonar however seems to be able to really GRAB that sound like no other to my ears. Like those 2 weensy knobs on the sides for example.... one is the Preamp input gain so you can really dirty it up if you need... but then the magical secret yummy JUICE on the other side... The aging of the drum. The knob... the little knob... changes the "age" of the drum. And if you run it with the dipswitches in the vintage mode you could probably get that level boost.. but with a little more control... id have to double check that bit.. . but I like that you can set it so there isn't. The Boonar... To me... is the best Echorec pedal. I would have to be in the same room to compare it to the TRex.

[@nealdavis2878]

I bought one of the first ones. Good to know someone who can really play gives it the thumbs up. It affirms the 2k price was worth it. This was years of engineering and the build is meticulous. It’s on us to help support these mammoth projects lest they never get undertaken!

[@kierenmoore3236]

2,000 what? Pounds, or Freedom Bucks?

[@fletches4084]

Been waiting for you gentlemen to get your paws on this thing. The show you did with the PE603T was just epic. Hard to believe that was 6 years ago. As I commented on the videos T-Rex did of the launch of their Binson it is gratifying to know that in this century we can still make stuff as good as back in the 20th. The boonar, volante et al are good but they lack the magic of the real magnetics. Such a special sound. Practicality be damned.

[@simon27101]

Due to my naivety I didn’t realise just who Mick is. I now realise I was reading lots of stuff written by his good hand for decades. Being of a similar vintage I feel equally stupid and blessed to have now found TPS. Love the channel… I lose hours watching you guys. Thanks you for all your efforts. Ps. Bought 2 t-shirts and they’re amazing. Can see me filling my wardrobe with them!

I just got to play this echo at the Brooklyn pedal show. Amazing and relatively affordable for the tech. T. rex never disappoints imho. It’s the subtlety and detail of the company’s offerings that sets them apart from the pack.

[@michaelcarrieri9645]

I LOVE echorec pedals and have tried almost all including Boonar, Catalinbread E-Rec, Volante etc. My favorites are the Gurus Echosex2T7E and the Foxgear Echosex Baby and T7EBaby. The Gurus T7E is my overall fave and the Foxgear T7E has the coolest band-passed filtering as an alternative. The swell on each is hypnotic. The Gurus and Foxgear can get much warmer and darker than the others. The others are terrific but Gurus & Foxgear sound less digital and sparkly and pristine and Gurus gives the warm tone you’d expect from a tube preamp and the foxgear sounds more like an analog delay, maybe a carbon copy. I’ve watched every Binson Echorec TPS and have enjoyed them and learned lots from each episode. Great content!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah man. I LOVED the Gurus one… right until it broke down. Would like to hear the Cicognani big one too…. Mick here.

[@michaelcarrieri9645]

@@ThatPedalShow Bummer Mick! Hope mine is not on borrowed time! I remember you liked the Foxgear Echosex Baby and mentioned having some issues with it. I had some problems with signal cutting out on that one too. And yes would love to try Cicognani and this T-Rex unit in the future. And still have trying a real tape delay to look forward to for my tone questing. Have fun with the new toys!

Tape Delay junkies. Here we are. I am obsessed with tape and oil can delays. The finger to tape reel flanging effect is also in that arena. Flanging on command pedals would be a fun comparison. Love this kind of content!

[@SlinkyT82]

Absolutely love the addition of Noel to the shows. 😂

[@captaincoconut1694]

There is an internal trimmer in the Echorec that allows to set the level boost. There's also a solder pad that would allow to add an optional toggle switch to activate kill dry!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Aha! Doesn't mention the trimmer in the manual, natch. Totally doing the kill-dry mod. Deep breath.......

[@basilandrigsby]

Ha!@@ThatPedalShow I got a new step drill bit, especially for the Occasion. Wasn't too scary in the end 😁 there's a perfect place on the back for the switch. Why wasn't it there in the first place?? The Replicator has one.

[@lloyd0006]

The Khruangbin guitarist uses the Strymon El Capistan with an expression pedal to get those sounds. You can find a video of him explaining it all on the Premier Guitar rig rundown KZbin channel. Thanks for the video guys!!!

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

I have to say I feel like Volante is still king. And I'm trying to be unbiased best I can, since I own it. I'm always on the lookout for tape, drum and their emulators. And Volante still feels like the most complete package. Not only it's incredibly feature rich, sounds incredible, it just feels like a love letter to that particular sound.

[@davidschaer]

my exact thoughts 👍

[@Telorchid]

As much as I love preamp color (you might get from an Echorec) I thought the cleanliness of the Volante really shined here. And nothing else gives you the same panning control and stereo possibilities. (Still liked the T-Rex as well.)

[@kasakka]

Yeah I feel in this video it actually sounded better than the T-Rex.

[@justinsimison3618]

Look into the Cicognani "Le Prism" if you get a chance. I never thought I'd ditch the volante but I sold it the day I tried this "Le Prism" device.

[@GriffinJenningsMusic]

Live and in the studio I personally think you really want something with more color than the volante provides. The vibe of something like the T. rex makes the volante sound sterile

[@TheMerc1950]

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

Thanks for this video fellas, I asked you to do this a while back. Here’s an honest opinion, and just for information I listened to this through a set of studio monitors so I would get the best sound. Though I believe the T-Rex Binson has some magic to it, the Boonar sounds just as good to me. And at 1/10 of the cost it is a no-brainer, at least for myself.

[@gbarge4]

Gentlemen! Just returned from Miami Beach to hear this brilliant episode! (Dan, the food was sensational!) I just went back and watched Tom Bukovac, John McBride, Ebo go through a bunch of vintage delays over at Inside Blackbird. One was a vintage Binson. Without other prompting, John raised the point about noise. He switched the Binson channel off and on a few times to demonstrate (and even seemingly reached to the console subconsciously and turned it off while they were talking). John's enthusiastic comment about the Binson and noise was that it was worth it. They agreed that in the mix, it isn't what you notice. Now, naturally, and to Mick's point, a studio environment is different to live gigs. There are so many things you can do during mixing to control that noise. Again, it was an original Binson from Milan, with masking tape labels in English over the original Italian controls labels. Cheers, guys.

[@Everflowed]

[@bllyfen8]

Two delay shows in as many weeks - Christmas isn't for another month and change though 😮 Thanks gentlemen, as usual inspiring stuff that makes me want to go tinker!

[@johnnytwo-shoes9798]

I have the boss DD200 and its great except for the multi head delays (tape and drum), when you change heads (from 1 to 2 to 3 to 1,2 etc) it actually changes the tempo BPM setting (seen by the change tap led @28:55) to emulate the head arrangement rather than it acting like a speed control with crotchet, dotted quaver, quaver (whatever) subdivisions of the set tempo BPM. Effectively if I set the head to 1 at say 80 BPM using an external midi clock to control the dd200 clock and then change the head to 2 or 3, the dd200 briefly changes the repeats before resetting the clock and the BPM resets to 80 BPM with the same repeats sound - TLDR same repeat sound/tempo despite the head setting when synced to external midi clock. Quite frustrating. I wrote to boss about this as a bug but no FW update. It is possible as the dual delay in the dd200 is programmed to have the second delay as a percentage of the first with a static BPM so the same concept could be applied to the tape and drum algorithms. Then tap tempo controls a speed and the head their relative subdivisions. But boss hasn't done an update. So it doesn't get much use over the HX stomp models, which is a shame and an easy fix for boss.

[@gregantonowicz2818]

Truss rod cover on the casino probably makes it sound even better. That jam pedal is epic! Another great show guys!

[@BCarpenter2314]

I have the DD-200 and really like it. Unfortunately, it's Drum mode isn't quite the same as some of these other specific drum-style sounds. The Boonar impresses me every time it's on the show! Thanks for the tones and comparisons.

[@johnnylayton1672]

Awesome & thanks for the Boonar phasing problem explanation also!

[@Wadey1960CS]

Great video guys! Very informative and eye opening, I learned so much in this episode. It was quite entertaining to see Dan have a pedal dedicated to the "Pink Floyd" sound and use rather controlled constraint in most cases no to just rip off some Gilmour licks without Mick running him through because of the copyright police getting them. He snuck a few in there, but had opportunity for so many more. Well Done all the way around TPS! 🥰🥰

[@jaketurner2183]

I owned a Volante and found I liked the tape emulation a bit better. The boss pedal emulation was solid in this video, especially since it will do so much more on top of that drum sound.

[@tomfrank7]

Love watching you both work with gear you find inspiring, and drum delays (and digital facsimiles) definitely take you to that place. That's what it's all about!

[@LoKi6922]

Wow that is an incredible unit. Hats off to T-Rex! I’ve had a Boonar and a Catalinbread but I currently have the Volante for the stereo goodness on my board. It is the only Strymon pedal where I wish it didn’t have as much of the Strymon sound. Would love it to be a little more raw at times, but for a my midi board, it does everything I need.

[@sygis21]

What does the "Strymon Sound" mean? Cold and sterile?

[@LoKi6922]

Not cold. It’s hard to put into words but Strymon pedals have a polished sound to them. People love it or hate it. I generally like it but I think a spinning disc delay should be a little less polished.

[@lbrimble100]

Great video guys!! I was going to buy a timeline at the weekend but after your video thought I’d try the Volante. Oh my word what a sound, it’s now my favourite ever pedal

[@evanmiller2579]

Love delay so much of all kinds great video. "If you are taking one on your board tomorrow, which one?" For sure the T-Rex so I could sell it on Reverb for $2k. For sure if money is no object, but I think the DD200 for the money is amazing. Under 200 bones used for sure. Could have watched another hour of this. Thanks so much guys. Cheers!

[@RobertAntonyJameson]

Nice to see the new TRex Echirec but I think it should be compared with the classic ones Similar prices and are supposed to be THE Echorecs, so better than any emulation pedal Costing 2k, its target customer is probably considering getting a classic echorec already Volante costs 1/5, has a smaller footprint, is stereo, offers a dozen of extra functionalities I'd recomend either VOL or the Boonar for most people that want an echorec soundalike The others are great too but miss the iconic individual repeat head activation experience Other echo pedals can emulate that sound, that Boss is a great example. Multi-purposes Keep it up! These videos are pure gold and guys are all amazing (including the public) 🤟

[@davidhornbeckmusic7487]

Great video gents but I must note that not using the Dyna-ssoR on the Pink Flow is almost criminal 😊 I just love that compressor so much, it really does help me get David G’ish clean tones and makes playing a breeze. You both rock, please keep doing what you do!

This video inspired me to create an echorec sim in my boss gt1000. I used an analog shimmer delay with 2 rates and paired that with the boss rotary to get a rotation sound. Still tinkering but it sounds great!

[@jimbofet]

There is a Binson Echorec setting on the Boss DD-500, but it's buried and hard to discover. You have to select "Tape" and edit the type within the settings page to "EchoR" and then you can dial in the head configuration.

The T-rex sounds exquisite definitely want to hear the balanced I/O. Also - fingers crossed that Strymon release a plugin of the volante. While I sold the pedal because I’ve moved to plugins for all time based effects - I do miss the tone of the strymon. But the tone of the T-rex is next level. Frankly, I don’t see a need for a vintage unit. This, an echo fix and a FT TTE would be three ace pieces for a studio.

I’ve had the Catalinbread for 5 years and will never part with it. I love that with the compact size and straightforward control set it nails EXACTLY THAT SOUND. I always run it at 18V on my board.

[@robertprice5039]

I am a Catalinbread user. I think there are better sounding options, but its size is the main factor for my choice. My board fits 10 pedals tightly, and I also need a slap back delay too on the board.

[@pablopicasso7343]

The boonar is also very (surprisingly) small - 1590B Size!

[@oldguitarjames9303]

I have the Catalinbread on the same board as the Pink Flow. I think you're right about better sounding units but I have it on a setting that works really well with the Pink Flow and a few other pedals. It's a 'special effect' designed to give me a very rhythmic delay for a couple of songs. Much as I'd love something like the Boonar or even the T-Rex I can't justify the expense given what I need from an Echorec type of pedal. I also make sure to run it at 18v just for the extra clarity it seems to give.

[@DavidGarcia-kw4sf]

I have the Echorec as well and I like it quite a lot. It's a very good pedal for the money. The only other delay that I use is the Halo, which is also very good. 😎

When you guys have done real tape vs, I've always felt the magic of the real one being bounds above the modern digital recreations even from the 3000 yard view of youtube viewer. I'm not really feeling that magic difference here. The Boonar especially was holding it's own on the T-Rex, so much so I think I preferred the digital one. Well done DSP drum delay makers.

[@hoboroadie4623]

Of all the amazing stuff that I aspire to or have acquired, the Echorec is one piece of which I am truly unworthy. Ironically it was Hank Marvin who inspired mini-me to be a guitar player, but it is fairly apparent that music is not my strong suit. T Rex are pretty heroic for giving these to the World and they actually make the Echo that I aspire to- next summer I believe that I will score a pair of Replicators to complete the Analog Echo section of the rig, God willing and the creek don't rise. 🎸

[@CorbCorbin]

Cool this episode coming out just after I got back from visiting my old bandmates, during which the drummer and bassist had been trying to jam Interstellar Overdrive. We went on a few 20+ minute excursions to another realm, over the three weeks I was there. 😆 Always loved the Echorec, but it really does get me playing a certain way, because of how it works, unless I just use it as a more reverb sounding effect, as Gilmour did on Echoes.

[@mfam1306]

Volante gets pigeon holed as a one trick pony for some reason, but it has studio and tape modes as well. It has long been my do-it-all delay.

Thanks, @@ThatPedalShow ! Just had no time to deep dive into it and read the manual. But played yesterday about one hour and it was so inspiring! Even with the crisp sound (which is a part of "modern" Gilmour-Sound in my opinion).

Im curious how it compares to the echo fix in terms of a modern recreation of a vintage echo, and yes i am aware one is drum and one is tape, they are different but im still curious

Never picked it up before when you've mentioned it, and I can't get my ears around actually what it is, but the "Strymon sound" is like its gone through a different chain. I love T-rex pedals, what a job they've done on this, very impressive. Also, nice that the Echosex got a mention, it does all that I need when it comes to magnetic drum delay, and does a nice job as a doubler when obvious delay isn't required.

It would be interesting to see how the Akai headrush II compares tonally. That has the cool feature of having a separate output for each of the four "heads". Only ever used it once through guitar amps because it is so impractical but it did sound brilliant with the repeats swirling around you.

google Specialbinson Superechorec 2 7TE TR , It is the king of all echorecs made by the guy who bought the Binson factory and all their NOS parts.

Fantastic show, gents!

Christ, Mick's Strat sounds so good. You could play it through a can of salmon.

Great episode guys. I would love to own the T-Rex. I have their latest Replicator Tape Delay and just adore it. You just had to include the Seagull didn't you? So glad you did.
