Binson Echorec 2º T7E Super-Slow Varispeed

Superb Binson Echorec 2 T7E with Super-Slow Varispeed Motor for sale. Working superbly and sounding stunning following an extensive rebuild - wet-only output possible. The pinnacle of our Echorecs. Tony has been working with Binsons for 25 years and these machines are the best you'll hear, guaranteed.

Please note - this is a preorder listing - this machine is undergoing restoration at present. We will only ship this when we're completely satisfied that it performs to our high standards. It is currently being tested and refined - shipping is likely to be around 2 weeks after ordering.

NOTE: Photos are of the unit for sale - more to follow.

Demos of similar machines below (further down the listing) - full photos of this machine to follow.

It has had a full restoration with varispeed mod performed by our echo tech, Dr Huw. This machine features a Super-Slow Varispeed Motor offering the full functionality of a standard Binson but with the advantage of being able to tempo match the repeats. Our new super-slow varispeed motor option offers the full functionality of regular speed uses, but with additional super-slow speeds for longer, darker, dirtier repeats. This can get properly gnarly when pushed into distortion at slow speed - it should be noted that at the slowest speeds very little fidelity or feedback happens - this is for special effects only rather than regular use. Read more about varispeeding Binsons here.

We can fit a wet-only output to channel 3 for use with a mixing console (or effects loop) if required.

CONDITION: Very good overall condition, some rust/wear to the paintwork, but overall looks great, especially in a darkened studio. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

Switchable voltage for worldwide use.

Our Binsons (especially valve T7E units) sell very quickly, usually before we can get them listed. If you are interested in getting one of these machines serviced and set up to our exacting standards then please get in touch to reserve one **

We may have other models of Binson here now; see our full current stock of tape/disc echoes here. If you have any questions about which delay is best for you then please get in touch as we have many years experience with these machines.

Naturally, the axe-slingers amongst you will be drooling over the way these machines languidly exude classic Dave Gilmour/Pink Floyd timbres, but we're hot under the collar about the way this one reacts to abuse: feed it a hot signal from a drum machine, crank up the input gain and swoon at the rich creamy tube overdrive and filthy distortion on the repeats. Tony's no stranger to Binson abuse, and he's been getting busy discovering just how good this one sounds when pushed - demos are doubtless already appearing on our Instagram feed by now.

Binson Echorec 2 - came to us serviced/rewired. Full checkover, head realignment and super slow varispeed modification completed by our in-house tech, Dr Huw. Not as clean as our usual machines: a little more rust and a cracked faceplate. A good player’s machine, wet only mod option can be specified, if required. Available soon.

*Videos below this are of previous machines we've sold - the second one is Dan from #ThatPedalShow in our studio encountering our Echorec 2 for the first time*

Nearly there. This Echorec 2 has had a full rebuild and varispeed modification. It’s waiting for the next stage in our restoration process: a visit to Dr Huw for further tweaking and calibrating. Sounding pretty good though - swipe for more video.

We’re somewhat OCD about our Binson Echorec restorations. We don’t use a single engineer: all our valve Echorecs undergo a full rebuild and varispeed conversion before we then turn them over to our in-house echo specialist, Dr Huw. He invariably spends a many hours over the course of a couple of weeks swapping components and recalibrating, until he feels they can’t be improved. The machines then pass to Tony for further testing and tweaking, before once more revisiting the Soundgas tech dept for final calibration and pre-shipping preparation. We feel these machines are worth the time and care taken. We see ‘restored’ machines on sale that should be described as ‘characterful’ (nothing wrong with selling a characterful Binson, as long as the description and price reflect this). Historically, these exceptional examples have rarely been available to buy and have sold on preorder only. However, we’ve streamlined our operation and are starting to once more offer these machines for sale fully-restored. This valve T7E is nearing completion - seen here during final testing. It sounds superb. It’s missing the top metal cover but is operationally stunning. Available now for preorder - please email tony@soundgas.com if you’re interested.
