T-Rex creates the ultimate Analog Studio Delay - the Binson Sterephonica Drum Delay
T-Rex does it again! This time stereo-fying the Binson Echorec - for the greatest ever analog Tape-style / Magnetic Delay.
It has the full range of features that I would have included had I designed this myself - with 4 selectable Record / Playback Heads and the full complement of controls and connections you need for maximum impact.
This is every way a perfect execution - possibly bar its size and price. For this level of technical achievement $3 Grand seems about right - while that price puts it out of reach for most.
For me it’s the size of the unit also - as I have no way to accommodate that within my dedicated music space - which is already heavily congested. I would hope that someone could do a Serato-style miniaturisation of that device at some stage - retaining the same dynamics - while that is something of a pipe-dream.
I feel that studios around the wold will be queuing up one of these!
