Description
here at Just Pedals we love this Dawner Prince Boonar Multi Head Drum Echo Rec Pedal.
The good news is that now that the Dawner Prince Boonar is available, you won’t have to mount a full Binson Echorec delay unit to your pedalboard in order to get those beautiful vintage delay tones.
The Boonar can do everything from those warm, saturated repeats that hearken back to the 70s, to mulit-dimensional Echorec style delays. Further enhanced by the ability to control the EQ on your repeats, so that you dont have to turn up the treble on your amp.
Drum Age
No, not the age of the drummer in your band. This refers to the sound that older echorec tape would produce as opposed to new tape. Thankfully the Boonar is an analog pedal that doesnt require you to change tape heads but by changing the settings, can drastically alter your tone from clean and clear to extremely warbled. This means the Boonar will give you plenty to play with, and you may struggle with to choose which tape head to use!
Swell/Repeats
This button will take the pedal from standard repeats to crazy multiple repetitions that will sound reverb-esque. Who needs a church cathedral for massive reverb?
Here’s what Dawner Prince Electronics say
When we decided to revive one of the finest magnetic echo-delay machines ever built, we knew it will be everything but an easy task. Months of research, in-depth study, development and fine tuning were needed to bring it back in all its fame.
Boonar™ is an effects pedal precisely designed to deliver sound and feel of the legendary Binson Echorec, a multi-tap magnetic drum echo unit. Everything is in there and more: from thick, juicy tube tone, glorious multi-dimensional echo repeats melted with haunting reverb decays, variable delay time up to a full second and separate playback heads switching system to an amazing and distinctive external looks dominated by a gold finish and green pulsating “magic-eye” level indicator, all packed in an incredibly compact stompbox form.
Boonar shares the same analog signal path as original Echorec but we used high voltage driven FETs as tube emulators and replaced magnetic memory drum with a DSP unit. We developed a special DSP code that faithfully replicates all the characteristics of the actual Binson memory system that we named a virtual magnetic drum.
Reveal an authentic Binson sound and enjoy in magical echoes of the past!
VOLUME echo/repeat/swell
controls the output volume of the delayed signal coming from the playback heads. This control is based on Input control setting.
BASS/TREBLE
adjusts the EQ of the delay signal. Just like in original Echorec machine, this effect is subtle, changing from darker to brighter.
SWELL (LENGTH OF SWELL)
sets the amount of regeneration/number of repeats from single repeat (slap back delay-Echo mode) of each playback head to infinite. On the edge of
