Binson Echorec 2

Binson · effects unit

The Binson Echorec 2 is a vintage Italian echo unit that, unlike tape delays, records the signal onto a rotating magnetic drum read by multiple playback heads. Driven by a 250-volt valve circuit, it produces warm, dimensional repeats with a distinctive swirling, gently modulated decay. Its multi-head design lets players combine taps for complex rhythmic and ambient echo patterns. The Echorec is central to the Pink Floyd sound, used extensively by David Gilmour and Richard Wright, and it also defined the 1960s Shadows guitar tone of Hank Marvin. Prized for lush, organic delay that blurs softly into the dry signal, it remains a sought-after studio and stage effect for atmospheric, evocative repeats.
