I have wanted one of these for a long time and I compared it with the Dawner Prince Boonar 4 drum echo machine in the end they sound very similar with the Boonar having the edge in the adjustability of the unit, but at a much higher price point and the pedal is long and not a good fit for my pedal board. In the end the ease of use and stellar sounds of the Catalinbread won out and I love it.

Had it for a few weeks now. I like it but not that impressed with it. Pros: nice analog delay sounds and easy to dial in with the controls. Cons: to get the delay level to sound even with your volume level, you must do two things; put it in buffer mode and turn the gain all the way up inside the pedal. If you have it in bypass mode, it will lower your volume and bass frequencies. Mine has this noise that's always on, and I think it's the way it's supposed to be. It's more noisy in buffered mode than bypass.

This is the best echo pedal i ever tryed and i play a lot of rockabilly and shadows stuff, and my bandmates were so amazed by its good sound and the 12 position effects it is more easy to find the right slap back echo. It sounds almost like an real Echorec mashine but without its mecanical and electronic noice.

This stomp box reasonably emulates the classic Binson Echorec rotary plate delay effects unit. Superficially resembling a tape delay, the original Binson Echorec produces its unique sound by pushing the sound through a preamp circuit and what can best be described as a rotary oilcan reverb tank, consisting of spinning plate inside a reverberation drum. The Binson Echorec can be configured anywhere from a subtle slap back or “spank” to a complex lingering echo trail, and became a mainstay of psychedelic and some progressive music. If you’ve ever heard “A Saucerful of Secrets”, that’s a Binson Echorec. While not a perfect match, this particular stomp box circuit is remarkably close, even emulating the subtle hiss and ring of the spinning plate with the right adjustment, and it actually has a little more versatility than the original in that the virtual spinning plate has an adjustable angular velocity, while the original Binson did not. I highly recommend this particular effect, and it pairs well with other time effects such as a plate reverb or even a tape echo.Read full review
