Item nummer:10009777
EAN / UPC:8057733069547
Reissue of the legendary Binson Echorec
After four years from his launch, being awarded and used by some of the most important musicians in live shows and in their records such as:
Steve Lukather, Alan Parsons, Doug Aldrich, Guy Pratt, Motorhead, Skunk Anansie, Bon Jovi, PJ Harvey, and many, many others.
It was the time for an update to our beloved Echosex. It’s with a big pleasure that we want to introduce the newest ECHOSEX 3°, a new version of our legendary echo unit updated.
The NEW Echosex 3° reproduces a single Head of the vintage Binson Echorec but with the ability to move that head to change the delay time like a modern delay with the same vintage sound!, Gurus has improved the preamp section which now runs at 262Volts (Just like the vintage Binson!) this makes for huge headroom, results in accentuating the harmonics. This improved input section is now impossible to saturate even with strongest signals from powerful humbuckers, active basses, Fx loops or Keyboards/Synths… The tone is pristine and dynamic, Gone is the “hiss” found in longer delay time settings however there’s no loss of the “dark” character of the vintage “Tape” or “Magnetic-Drum” echo units.
True bypass with golden pin relay, the unit is super quiet with no perceptible noise Plus the slightly smaller box and new “top jack” configuration will make for an easy fit into any pedalboard.
