The Slider Echo by HH Electronics - famously used by Bauhaus on their seminal recording, Bela Lugosi’s Dead.
Below guitarist Daniel Ash and drummer Kevin Haskins recall that fateful session when they used bass player David J’s Slider Echo to create the unmistakable intro.
ASH: … we went into the control room and David had this old HH echo unit, which would crap out on you all the time. We hooked up the guitar and snare drum to this echo unit and I was just sliding the HH amp thing to trigger all these echoes as the song went through.
HASKINS: Daniel put all those delays on and also used his thumb to slow parts of the tape down. There was quite a bit of art that went into “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”. �I think the gods were with us that day.
ASH: That echo just took it to the next level.
