  • Let's take a foray into the world of analog tape echo. A dash of history with a full portion of testing. I put a Watkins Copycat, a Maestro Echoplex and a Roland Chorus echo in a room to battle it out.Hope I'm not giving it away but It turns out they all have their own district flavour of echo.

    You can definitely "walk on the moon" with the roland space echo.

    awesome vid very educational alot of stuff i didn't know (i'm 55 and a music geek myself). and to think it wasn't til' clear up into the late 90's that they could even digitally reproduce the depth and warmth of these old analog bad boys. and as is so often the case american and british inventors worked together to make it happen even if they didn't know it at the time.
    if there is any "special relationship" between u.s. and u.k. it's just as much music as it is politics.

    Ahhhh The Copycat! My constant companion for the first 10 years as a guitar player. Still got one but a bit dusty,I still keep buying modern delay pedals trying to replicate my old WEM and still never quite get there ...unfortunately as my Marshalls got bigger ,louder and more gain-y the background noise drove sound men mad and they slammed their noise gates shut which was really off-putting live ! I have an interesting modern-ish pedal that tries hard to get into the tape echo "head-space"(see what I did there......)the Zander Circuitry TAPE DECK modulated lo-fi delay - I shall bring it for you to try when I finally stop injuring myself and repairing broken guitars ,cars, bikes and houses...Cheers bro ( another absolutely cracking vid) see you ASAP H@rr!$

      For sure, they make a hell of a racket through a gained-up amp. The pedal sounds interesting Harris! Look forward to a guitar-based meet up 🤘🤘🤘

    Man, the Watkins Copicat is rarer than hen’s teeth in the States…I’ve never seen one in the flesh!

      I’m sad to say I don’t. I had two custom copycats both valve. Can’t remember when or why I sold them.
