This is THE Echorec pedal

I've always wondered why there aren't more pedals on the market aimed at capturing the fabled sound of the Binson Echorec, but having tried out the ones that are out there, I'd wager the answer is 'we don't know how to get that sound'. Catalinbread, Gurusamps, even TC Electronic have given it a go, and while their results sound incredible (I'd love an Echosex personally), they don't really sound anything like the actual unit (the Echosex sounds to my ears more like an old analog delay like a Memory Man). Naturally, then, I was sceptical going into the Dawner Prince Boonar.

It took about thirty seconds for that scepticism to drain away.

This pedal is the real deal, folks. All the luscious ambience, all the hidden rhythmic delights, all the beautiful transients in the oscillation and sense of grand, unending space are all in this little unit the size of an MXR pedal, and a bunch of modern conveniences have been added. There's around a full second of max delay time on the fourth head if you want it. You've also got control over modulation, individual switches for each head to allow you to make your own combos, input control to drive the FETs just like the classic unit, switchable true/trails bypass, and even the ability to switch between a modern impedance and the 'classic' impedance of the original, which lends the pedal a more Lo-Fi sound.

And those modern conveniences are great; the extra delay time gives you more scope to get rhythmic with your delays, and it lends itself to a much wider range of sounds. Once I've spent more time with it I fully intend to make the most use out of everything it has to offer. But it's early days yet, and my favourite sound is still setting the drum speed for the classic Echorec times, grabbing a fuzz, and taking myself to that Gilmourish nirvana that we all love.

Get this pedal, guys. It's worth the money, and you could have ten of them for how much a fully functional 2T7E would set you back.

you bought one, wow... you really are a Gilmour maniac! I always feel weird when people say that a simulations don't sound right when I feel pretty sure those people never owned a real one.... recordings just aren't the same. Have you owned an Echorec?

@jimmarchi1 not owned, but have been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with one about a year ago. The Echosex just sounds quite a bit darker, and the Catalinbread model sounds to my ears quite a bit closer but it lacks the ambience you can get with the Boonar or the original unit. I'd happily ditch everything but a shimmer reverb and use the Boonar for a reverb sound, but I didn't feel like I'd be able to do that with the Catalinbread. The feeling of playing the Boonar was, for me, far closer to the feeling of playing that Echorec last year.

(and yes, I am absolutely a Gilmour maniac, but I'm into enough post rock that my song writing goes in a slightly different direction! His tone is a huge inspiration on my own but it sits in a whole different context. I'm into big ambient chord swells and stuff)

Perfect vintage sound with modern use !

I real love the sound the Boonar produces. It sounds like the old Pink Floyd records, which this pedal leans itself perfectly too. I use it all the time. Play a lot with the multiple heads, self oscillation or very subtle in the mix.
