The Best Echorec-Style Delay Pedal? [Both Boonars, T-Rex, Catalinbread & Strymon]
Dawner Prince's valve beauty vs the best of the rest
Welcome to the show! The sublime and wonderful Binson Echorec devices have underpinned some of the greatest sounds ever in rock guitar (looking at you for starters, David Gilmour). Over the last decade or so, more and more Echorec-style delay pedals have been released, the latest of which is the Dawner Prince Electronics Boonar Tube Deluxe. It’s high time them, we put it next to our other faves and hear what’s what. No real Echorec today - ours is a bit sick!
Please enjoy the show, and let us know which one you’d choose!
