Catalinbread Echorec Multi-Tap Echo Pedal in Limited Edition Space Black

The Catalinbread Echorec Multi-Tap Echo Pedal in Limited Edition Space Black revives the iconic Echorec sound made famous by legends like Syd Barrett and David Gilmour. This pedal offers guitarists the chance to access that classic, multi-head echo tone in a compact, affordable format, perfect for a wide range of musical styles. With its 4 playback heads and 12 selectable modes, the Echorec delivers everything from bright, rhythmic delays to warm, lush repeats that fill out your sound.

Beyond faithfully recreating the original analogue tape echo character, the Echorec adds modern enhancements such as internal modulation, allowing you to dial in anything from pristine clarity to vintage wobble. The pedal’s controls give you full command over your echo, including swell, mix, tone, and delay time, letting you craft everything from subtle ambience to dramatic, otherworldly effects. Its extended delay time range and real-time delay time manipulation open up creative possibilities far beyond the original Echorec’s 300ms limit.

Designed with both vintage tone lovers and modern players in mind, the Catalinbread Echorec combines authentic sound with intuitive controls and a sleek Space Black finish. Whether you want to recreate classic psychedelic textures or explore new sonic landscapes, this pedal is a versatile and inspiring addition to any rig.

4 Heads, 12 Modes

The Echorec features four distinct playback heads selectable via a 12-position dial, offering a wide palette of rhythmic and tonal combinations. This flexibility allows you to easily find the perfect echo pattern, from galloping delays to smooth, spacious repeats, making it suitable for any musical context.

Internal Modulation Control

To emulate the natural ageing of analogue tape echoes, the pedal includes an internal modulation control. This lets you adjust the effect from crystal-clear repeats to a rich, warbly character, adding depth and vintage authenticity to your sound.

Modern Control Features

The Echorec provides comprehensive control with knobs for Swell, Mix, Tone, and Delay Time. The Swell knob adjusts the number of repeats, the Mix controls the balance between dry and wet signals, and the Tone knob shapes the EQ from warm and dark to bright and tape-like. The Delay Time knob can be manipulated in real-time for dynamic pitch and speed effects.

Extended Delay Range

Unlike the original Echorec’s 300ms maximum delay, this pedal offers delay times from approximately 40ms up to 1000ms. This expanded range, combined with real-time control, lets you create everything from tight slapbacks to long, evolving echoes and experimental soundscapes.
