Echorec pedal

I spent the last couple of days and many hours working on a toneprint for the TC Electronic Flashback that I'm 99% sure is exactly the same as the EREC2 setting on the TC Electronic Alter Ego V2. I did this because (a) I'm a masochist, and (b) I only ever use my Alter Ego V2 for the beautiful EREC2 setting, so if I would be able to have that setting on my Flashback instead then I could get rid of the Alter Ego V2 and have everything I need in one pedal. I don't know if anyone else finds this remotely interesting or helpful, but at least it's a way to get one of the Alter Ego modes loaded up on your Flashback if you only have a Flashback in your possession. Here are the settings:

I'm certain that the speed and depth of the vibrato is correct. The frequency filters were the difficult part but I got them extremely close. The low-pass filter on the modulation section is, to me, exactly correct to the Hz. I'm very happy with the low-pass filter in the delay section; and even if it's not 100% right, the high pass filter is as close as I am going to get it without many more hours work. I didn't bother to tweak the Feedback or Delay times to accurately match those of the Alter Ego V2 EREC2 setting because that's not really important -- you set it to how you need it for the song anyway. I made sure though to set the saturation and feedback maximums at their limits so that you should be able to achieve the same volume and feedback that the AE V2 is capable of when at the highest settings for volume and feedback.

Let me know if any of you choose to use this toneprint and if you do, let me know if you're able to improve it.

edit: I should clarify, you set the feedback via the feedback knob and the delay time via the delay time knob. Sounds obvious but you can actually change those functions via the toneprint editor so work mentioning. So it's up to you to set the feedback curve so that it is capable of 120% feedback at full (that's how I have it).

Catalinbread Echorec Binson Pedal
The resurrection of the legendary Binson Echorec multi-head drum echo. The Binson Echorec was so cool there was no choice but to bring it back. And Catalinbread wanted to bring it back right. They wanted to take all the goodness of that huge Binson Echorec and squeeze it down into a standard sized stompbox without losing anything. In fact, in addition to not losing any of the qualities that made it such a compelling musical device, Catalinbread wanted to EXTEND its capabilities because the original Binson hinted at possibilities that it couldn't realize.

The Catalinbread Echorec Replicates the four 'playback head' functionality of the Binson with the added ability to change the delay time so you can go from classic Binson short multi-head echoes to longer delays that maintain the syncopated multi-head rhythms, extending the range of possibilities way beyond what even the real Binson could do. Plus, you can manipulate the delay time control in real-time to get Echoplex-like spaceship landing sounds - something that was impossible to do on the Binson.

Features:
- The Swell knob controls the number of repeats regenerated - from a single repeat of each playback head to infinite repeats.
- The Tone control tilts the EQ of the repeats from dark and fat to bright and thin. Dark settings makes the repeats sit in the background. Bright settings emphasizes the attack, great for playing off the syncopated rhythms of the multi-head arrangement.
- The delay time on the Catalinbread Echorec goes from about 40ms -1000ms. And the cool thing is you can twist the Delay Time knob in real-time to get speeding-up / slowing-down, spaceship warp landing sounds!
- Mix knob goes from full dry to full wet giving a lot of flexibility to use the Echorec in a variety of situations, even wet/dry rigs by setting the Mix full wet.
- The Catalinbread Echorec has the ability to vary the delay time on the single playback head, we were able to include all combinations, which include rhythmic patterns not available before.
- User-tunable modulation on the repeats that simulates the warble of the rotating platter. Or set more extreme to achieve new dimensions in chorus textures.
- True-bypass or 'trails mode' operation. Trails mode allows the repeats to continue even after you hit the bypass switch and also leaves the Echorec's beautiful pre-amp in your signal chain at all times.

- Power: 9 to 18 volt operation. 9 volts is great for all uses and is especially good for creating 'ambient soup' textures - the notes swirl together really nicely. 18 volts is potentially louder and gives more headroom and more separation - particularly good for playing off the rhythms created by the multi-tap heads.
