The Binson Echorec is a delay effects unit produced by Italian company Binson. [1] Unlike most other electromechanical delays, the Echorec uses an analog magnetic drum recorder instead of a tape loop.
After using Meazzi Echomatic machines, Hank Marvin of the Shadows began using Binson echoes. He used various Binson units on record and stage for much of the mid-to-late 1960s. Marvin continued to use Binsons until c.1979/1980, when he began using a Roland Space Echo.
Echorecs were used by Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, and Richard Wright of Pink Floyd. The Echorec can be heard on Pink Floyd songs including " Interstellar Overdrive", " Astronomy Domine", " Shine On You Crazy Diamond", " Time", " One of These Days", and " Echoes". [2] A Binson Echorec Baby owned by the band was displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of the 2017 Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains exhibition. [3]
