Gurus Amps ECHOSEX 2 Cicognani Boutique Series (Tube Echo Binson Echorec Reborn)
Bringing back something capable of saving the things the guitar players most search in a Binson unit leaving behind features that are less important and still trying to solve the problems and limits said before in order to create an object that could bring back to life all the feelings that only an old Binson could give without paying thousands of dollars. The result obtained after more then one year of work is the Echosex 2° that is in first call a beautiful object that recalls at the same time the feeling of an old precious and the stability of a modern tool. It takes us back in that particular era thanks to its illuminated panel all the other references to the originals so familiar to our passion. The controls respect the “Macaroni” english used in the original description of the Binson and also for the new add control they chose the same “style” calling it “age of damage” regarding its function to control the simulation of the wrong functioning of the old mechanical system.

The construction quality is tank like and very well engineered all the controls are in the right place a preamp tube and also the dip switches that permit the setting of the pedal for different situations (adj. I/O levels programming the footswitch button). In fact as was for the Binson for the Echosex 2° there is the possibility for it to be used as a tube pre-amplifier ( for voice bass or keys) too. The dip switches provide the option of having the echo trail fade or cut off when the bypass button is pressed.

The tube is a double triode 12AX7B super selected and balanced personally by Guglielmo Cicognani himself.

The control “Volume Echo” is a mix control the will let us increase or decrease the quantity of effect mixed with the dry signal up to the 50% in relation to the guitar signal. The “Length of swell” controls the feedback namely the quantity of repeats desired starting from 1 and going to infinite and self-oscillation. This is in fact one of the first characteristics of the Binson the possibility of looping endlessly the repeats as far as the echo starts to oscillate. The “Length of swell” control works in close sinergy with the “Bass Treble” pot letting you to bright up or darken the repeats to obtain at the maximum level that particular psychedelic flavor a la Pink Floyd dynamically enhancing every note played.

The delay time the Echosex 2° doubles the original Binson capability going from 60 ms to 660 ms. This parameter is controlled by the “Echo” pot. The modality chosen between the heads combinations of the Echorec is the number 4 the one corresponding to the single and most far head capable of the longest delay (310ms) that we found around the 6 and 7 position on the Echosex 2° control. The “age of Damage” control represents a features that lets you shape the personality of your own echo unit. In fact this control determines the quantity of aging of the mechanical parts that usually changes from a unit to the other making every single echorec a unique object.

The effect is something beautiful that goes from a light and lush modulation to a strong pitch shifting. The repetitions are generated by the trusty PT2399 processor used in the most famous delay units. To avoid the Cold character of a modern delay Guglielmo Cicognani has developed an unprecedented way of using this component. Once the repeat is generated it is treated just like the dry signal by our reproduction of “Binson System” composed by tube preamp-heads simulation-filters. This is the very core of this machine and it is what makes the Echosex 2° so true to the original. It is a tool that takes you on a magic carpet thru aetherial and tridimensional ambients and sparks your creativity giving you a way to create unheard of textures.
