Echorec from Pulsar Audio
Is this the ultimate echo plugin for your David Gilmour tones?
The Echorec is emulating the classic Binson Echorec machine designed in Italy in the mid 50s and made famous by Pink Floyd among others.
Like it’s physical counterpart, the Echorec produce that same lush and almost reverblike echo, with the same features as the original, including multiple playback head options and tube saturation.
In this feature I’m using Logic X, with the Echorec mixed in with my recorded bass, guitar and Farfisa.

Hi Bjorn! By now you’ll have seen and heard the new Ukraine single released under the Pink Floyd name. Please tell me: is that telecaster David is playing a legendary one? Used on Animals perhaps? More info please!
A Fender Custom Shop logo has been spotted on the back of the headstock so if that’s correct, then it’s a custom replica of the 55 Esquire “Workmate”.
So you’re sure it’s not the original Workmate?…
Seems that it’s a replica that David got made for the exhibitions a few years back. The colour and wood grains are different. I’ll have a run down of the gear used for the single up soon.
Hi Bjorn!
A bit unusual but also a great one, as always – and the ‘feeling’ is still there.
Besides that, is the Apollo x6|8|8p your weapon of choice to create/record multiple guitar tracks in your DAW ?
Thanks.
Yes, I run Apollos in my home and rehearsal studios.
Hi Bjorn! I wonder if my message to post@gilmourish have reached you or did it slip through the cracks, the one about David’s potential sound experiments with Synthi A and EMS Pitch to Voltage converter, the particular device that made Synthi A controllable with an electric guitar input? In the times before MIDI was born. The device can be seen on top of David’s Twin Reverb Silverface combo at Abbey Road (1972 DSOTM recording sessions). This discovery really made me curious.
What’s the 2nd switch on that Les Paul?
It’s a high frequency cut. I’ve disconnected it.
The original “binson”, wasn’t it stolen from Floyd?..
They had several units. My guess is between 5-10. One might have been stolen or lost.
Really great video about amazing gear.
Sounds legit!
Hi Bjorn!
I see a Blackstar behind you in the video. Are you going to do a review of it at any point either written or video?
I haven’t planned to. It’s a 2×12″ S1 cabinet with Celestion V30s. The amps are a Reeves Custom 5o and Laney Lionheart L20.
