Bobby, you're killin' me.

I've got an EP-1 and an early Watkins Copicat, but the wonderful Binsons and the Klemts and Dynacords, alas, are probably out of reach for us mere mortals.

Sweet! It's got all the right elements - great preamp, dynamic echo response, just the right amount of pitch modulation. I love it. Many folks don't realize - you comment on this in the vid - that these crazy electro-mechanical echo machines also offer the ultimate chorus effect (although you'd think anyone who's listened closely to Page/Zep would've figured that out).

Thanks for sharing.

george has all kinds of hidden treasures in his shop....like the jedson RED steel guitar with EMG model H humbucker just like gilmours.....

next time i am over, we are gonna fire up his gilmour rig, with the bradshaw rack, 2 harry joyce 100 watt slaves, custom made preamps, and effects. :mrgreen:

binson is a LOT of fun. glad he has that one, i might use it on the next album 8)

Thanks for the demos....

I would very much like to hear (HAVE, rather) the Binson Echorec II......
Does anyone have one of these?

Back to dreaming,
