Features

  • The delay time on the Catalinbread Echorec goes from about 40ms -1000ms. And the cool thing is you can twist the Delay Time knob in real-time to get speeding-up / slowing-down, spaceship warp landing sounds!
  • The Tone control tilts the EQ of the repeats from dark and fat to bright and thin. Dark settings makes the repeats sit in the background. Bright settings emphasizes the attack, great for playing off the syncopated rhythms of the multi-head arrangement.
  • User-tunable modulation on the repeats that simulates the warble of the rotating platter. Or set more extreme to achieve new dimensions in chorus textures.
  • The Swell knob controls the number of repeats regenerated - from a single repeat of each playback head to infinite repeats.
  • Mix knob goes from full dry to full wet giving a lot of flexibility to use the Echorec in a variety of situations, even wet/dry rigs by setting the Mix full wet.

Looking for the Perfect delay pedals - The Buying Guide

What does a delay pedal do?

A delay pedal is a stompbox effect that records and plays back any music fed into it. Usually this playback happens in milliseconds. When playback is rapid, a delay pedal produces a “slapback” effect—an instant, snappy reverberation of what was played.

Which is better analog or digital delay?

Analog delays can sound extremely musical and pleasing, and some guitarists don't like their signal to be converted to digital if they can help it. But digital delays offer immense amounts of flexibility — including analog delay emulations, precise delay time control, preset memories, and other features.

Can I plug a synth into a line input?

Recording keyboards and synths can be straightforward. These instruments usually have line-level outputs, which connect straight into an audio interface's line inputs, making it simple to get a great recording quickly.

Why are analog pedals better?

Instead of going through algorithms, the signal in analog pedals goes through capacitors, resistors, and transistors, and sometimes even tubes. This might provide you with more dynamic response compared to standard digital effects. It's usually the vintage lovers that enjoy this kind of sound and dynamic response.

Did Jimi Hendrix use delay?

Jimi Hendrix didn't use delay very often but you can hear it from time to time. All along the watchtower gives a great example of how Hendrix used delay (read my guide on the effects used in All Along The Watchtower here).

Do I need reverb if I have delay?

It really depends on what type of effect you're after. If you only want to add more presence, with an echo type effect, then you'll probably only really need a reverb pedal. But if you want to repeat notes to create a more specific effect, then you'll benefit from getting a delay pedal too.

Are strymon pedals the best?

Absolutely. Strymon manufactures some of the best guitar pedals in the world. They offer a high quality sound and an extremely wide range of tonal possibilities. Whether you're looking for a delay, reverb or something else, Strymon is definitely one of the best choices out there.

What gauge does slash use?

11-48 Slash uses Ernie Ball Paradigm guitar strings with a gauge of 11-48. Slash uses heavier gauge strings because he tunes down as well as plays with an aggressive attack.
