First Echo Machine

February 15, 2007 by Chris

I was watching a copy of the Grammy Awards the other night. I’m honestly not into this stuff but when we found out that The Police were going to be playing, we taped it.

Halfway through the show we came across the memorial segment. In it, it showed that Roger (Syd) Barrett had passed away. My jaw hit the ground. My wife reminded me that we knew of it, but as usual I forgot.

So anyway, I went on a hunt for Roger(Syd) in cyberspace and found some of the equipment that he use and I learned about the Binson Echorec Box..

This thing reminds me of the Roland Space Echo that, Scott Merrit, a childhood guitar hero of mine from Brantford used. This Binson Box was the forefront of special effects pedals that has lost it way in todays crazy marketing world of guitar special effects.

So let’s pay some homage to the past and look for more blasts from the past and if your lucky, you’ll learn something that can be used today!

Keep on Jammin’
