Catalinbread Echorec Pedal

[Didier]

As I have been able to watch, in the early sixties, Hank used only one setting on his Meazzi for a whole concert, and it was perfect like that !

Too true. I remember agreeing with Didier that all you need is 2 echoes; 1 for Wonderful Land and 1 for Apache.

I believe it's that what Patrice Bastien now does, since he uses the Meazzi clone he made from a heavily modified Binson.

And that's basically what I do with my modified ESE 6 SE( Thanks Amanda!!!)

I do not own the Catlinbread but do have a Stanley eTap2HW. I also have one of Ecca's eTap2HW.

As far as the eTap2HW goes it does the job brilliantly and sounds very much like Ecca's box but with a few less options due to the compact size. It also does not have the extra touch of warmth that ecca's valve eTap2HW has to offer which is well regarded on this site. The other advantage is that you can save user settings on Ecca's eTap2HW when built with automation and of course the Stanley pedal does not have automation or valves.

What the Stanley eTap2HW has though is being small light and portable and can run off a PP9v battery as well as 9v supply. This pedal does a great job. My favourite is the Eccomatic 2 Classic where you can set the 123 head levels with one knob and the the 4th head with another.

All the sounds are in there.

I would like a CAtlinbread as well !

Any tips for settings on Sleepwalk and Midnight?

Any tips for settings on Sleepwalk and Midnight?

According to the experts i.e. Charlie Hall & Alan Jackson 'Sleepwalk' is the Echomatic II patch for 'Wonderful Land' but the Catalinbread won't give an exact patch for 'Midnight' as there are not enough heads. You can get a useful echo for the tune by experimenting with the head selections and speed but I can't just say exactly what the settings are. Put some time in and work on it, that's part of the fun.

I think Midnight is the same as Blue Star ?

Will it be ok to link the Catalinbread Echorec through the Eccamatic or the other way round. Just want to play around with sounds to see what happens

[dave robinson]

No harm in trying it out, you could end up with some interesting sounds or a big mess.

[Billyboygretsch]

Ok will give it a go. Probably be a mess but will give it a go. Was just worried about which way round would be best
