Anybody ever done a Benson Echorec deep dive in the pedal world? I understand there are a few options out there and would like the best one.

Would be used for both guitar, vocals, keys, recording, etc.

To digress!

I’ve always wanted to try the Peluso 414! I was close to getting one but ended up with a Heiserman Type 19 instead. I don’t regret it but they aren’t as interchangeable as I thought and still don’t have a neutral utility mic, I just use C38B, at4060, Serrano U87 kind of like one since ...

Had no idea, thanks!

Edit: picked up, will report back. I really like the UAD Space Echo but I use slapback a whole lot and its personality was too strong for a lot of uses

Kazrog Red is ok. It’s like a cross between an LA2A and a 176. Right now I have it on a vocal send, drum bus, bass, and steel string acoustic guitar.

It’s super great at bringing things forward when things get busy, that is probably the most notable thing about it. Otherwise you know what it does ...

Kazrog 666


I’m just gonna get it.

Anybody familiar with their Sta-level, Altec Graphic or Avalon eq? I am not really in a mood to spend a bunch on plugs but I use Sphere hardware and graphic eqs all the time. I think they’re great for making things fit together. And they sound good just doing ...

You're probably talking about Soundtoys Echoboy in the Headrush space? I felt initially it wasn't convincing sounding but after dialing it waayyy back and spending a bit of time on a couple of the presets I got some sounds I really like. I feel like the sounds are all there just a million settings ...

Best tape echo plug-in? I want realistic not what somebody who grew up on a Headrush thinks a tape echo sounds like. I like the UAD space echo okay but would like to play with a new set of quirks.

Also whats up w/ the Kazrog 666 Fairchild? I am getting a thousand instagram ads and my ears are ...

Both musk and ambergris as perfumes are not crap, together they can be heavenly.

^Have not tried that Lutens, I should. So expensive though...


Totally, I got it from a little vial from one of those sites where its kinda dubious what you’re getting. Luckily it was legit, but I don’t think it ...

Also if choosing between the two I am a Silver Jews guy, but luckily I don’t have to. I listen to Pavement casually with my wife but don’t put on Berman unless I am going to be Paying Attention.

For some reason I never listen to the one between Wowee Zowee and Terror Twilight. I think the Beck ...

Shit I hope there’s a coup tonight
