VINTAGE BINSON ECHOREC BS1 GOOD CONDITION. THE UNIT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. I have had this unit for a number of years and it has a unique and very distinctive tone, I purchased this from Italy. Any questions do not hesitate to ask. Early Binson - a single channel, all-valve machine. The B1S was Binson's first export model, following on from the Baby Binson, but with the larger diameter drum in common with its big brother the Echorec 2º.  For the Pink Floyd fans out there, this machine is capable of performing stunning Syd Barrett / David Gilmour impersonations. Binson Echorecs are amazingly-engineered machines: where a tape echo's input sound is recorded to tape, on a Binson it is recorded onto a circular spinning disc which has replay heads positioned around it. It is possible to select single and repeating echoes or reverb-like swells - these units have a sound all of their own. They look fantastic at night (or on a darkened stage) with the magic eye valve glowing green and the backlit plexiglass fascia. Binsons were one of the must-have pieces of equipment for bands in the early sixties, alongside the Fender Stratocaster and Vox AC30. Famously-used and abused by Barrett, Gilmour, Waters and Wright of Pink Floyd in the 60s and early 70s (Echorec 2s are very much in evidence on Live at Pompeii and can be seen on photos from many Floyd live shows), Binsons are increasingly sought-after today by studios, mix engineers and producers for their unique sound: Michael Brauer (Stones, McCartney, Coldplay) famously has an Echorec 2 in his arsenal of vintage delays.
