Crumar ECHOPLAY Rotating Drum Echo Simulator Pedal

Unlike other echo-generation machines of the era, which relied on magnetic tape or integrated-circuit delay lines, a device built in the 1960s by a small Italian company managed to stand out and win the hearts of many rock and prog musicians. This unique machine created its echoes by recording the signal onto a rotating magnetic drum, with playback heads arranged around it, adding depth and a veil of mystery to the sound in a way no other device of the time could achieve. ECHOPLAY faithfully recreates the tone and behaviour of a specific unit that has survived for nearly 60 years without ever undergoing repairs or modifications. The sound of the original hardware has been captured in this digital effect, reproducing every nuance, from its distinctive timbre to its desirable imperfections: the non-linear frequency response, the spontaneous and unpredictable fluctuations in drum speed, the subtle tube-like distortion of the preamp stage, and the gentle hiss that gives the sound its character.

Rediscover the magic of the electric guitar and electronic organ tones of psychedelic rock bands from the '60s and '70s.
