Dawner Prince · pedal

Unleash the vintage essence of the Binson Echorec with the Dawner Prince Electronics Boonar Multi-Head Drum Echo. This guitar pedal delivers a rich tube-like tone and plush repeats, making it an indispensable part of your music gear. Despite employing FETs rather than tubes in its signal path, this pedal leaves no stone unturned to recreate the authentic Echorec sound. With the unique Drum Age control, you can explore a vast array of sounds, imitating the modulation caused due to aging heads on the original magnetic delay. The pedal also includes a bass/treble tone control, allowing you to fine-tune the sound of the repeats, replicating the classic Binsons without the hassle of handling the delicate, temperamental original.
