Cicognani Engineering EchoLTD 2º

Cicognani EchoLTD for sale - brand new stock.

Designed and built in Italy.

Limited numbered edition of 500 hand-built pedals

Nothing can touch the sound and individuality of a fully restored Binson Echorec, but such a machine is out of the reach of most musicians, and owning one is a responsibility that many more would not want to take on (and you’d have to be very brave indeed to take one out live! – looking at you Sam Shepherd…). So, into this space have stepped numerous effects designers and there have been some good, some useful, and even some pretty great pedals created along the way. For us the original, Italian-made Gurus Echosex was one of the best sounding emulations out there and this is essentially a slightly updated version of that from the original designer of the Gurus pedals.

They've recreated the magic eye, a tube preamp and all-analogue signal path take care of the sound, and the delay is digitally generated. The "Magic Of Age" control allows you to dial in as much warp and warble as you want. However this pedal goes beyond just emulating an Echorec because you have increased ability to sculpt the sound with the trimmers that would have been inside the unit all now accessible on the top. Studio-ready with a separate wet-only output. Solid Italian build-quality as well - so far we've only had one Cicognani pedal with any kind of issue on arrival.

POWER: Requires a 12v 500ma centre negative supply - NOT INCLUDED

From Cicognani Engineering:

ECHOLTD 2° was born on the ECHOSEX 2 LTD project; the sound with the unique and much loved peculiarity remains unchanged. The additional features have been designed to enrich the “musical carpets” and make the device more “all-around” and easy to use. It is for this reason that the controls and switches today are all at hand and placed on the main panel. The two delay times are adjustable (Echo1: 75-420mS and Echo2: 75-580mS) and can be recalled analogically via footswitch.

Made in a limited numbered series of 500 units, with serial number engraved on top ECHOLTD 2° is completely focused on guitar use, simulating a perfectly restored Binson Echorec ideal for the best “psychedelic sounds”.
