T-Rex Effects has introduced the Binson Stereophonica, which they describe as the world's first true stereo magnetic drum delay.
A spokesperson told us, "Inspired by the legendary Binson Echorec, Stereophonica expands the original magnetic drum delay concept into a true stereo studio instrument."
Here's the details direct from the company...
At the Binson Stereophonica's heart is a real rotating magnetic drum that delivers the unmistakable warmth, movement, and harmonic character only genuine magnetic recording can create. From classic vintage echoes to expansive stereo textures, Stereophonica combines authentic analog-inspired tone with modern flexibility.
Two selectable record heads, four independently controlled playback heads, and individual Volume and Pan controls allow you to build anything from subtle ambience to complex rhythmic delay patterns that move naturally across the stereo field.
Unlike traditional delay pedals, Stereophonica lets every playback head become part of the performance. Pan echoes from left to right, blend multiple playback heads, drive the recording stage into rich magnetic saturation, or create lush Swell effects with the turn of a switch.
Built for both studio professionals and adventurous musicians, Stereophonica features true balanced stereo I/O, Kill Dry, expression pedal control, and full MIDI implementation for seamless integration into modern recording and live rigs.
Handcrafted in Denmark by T-Rex Effects, Stereophonica brings one of the most iconic echo concepts ever created into a completely new dimension.
