BST Echo à bande

(Originally written by LuK le Brugeois/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
The BST Echo Chamber is a tape delay... It's a fully analog device. I don't know when it was made... It provides two inputs (high/low) and two corresponding outputs...

UTILIZATION

The overall design is very simple. Four controls: Volume, effect mix, feedback and delay time...

No tap tempo nor other modern functions...

I don't have a user's manual (I found it in a garbage can!)... But it's very easy to understand how it works

SOUND QUALITY

Beautiful effect. It sounds very warm and it gives a nice vintage character to every signal... I tested it with an SH-101, a Nordstage, several guitars, Farfisa organs (Matador, VIP 205R, FK 50), etc. The sound is great with every instrument...

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for one and a half years. I like its articulated and very expressive sound... It allows me to generate Pink Floyd-like feedbacks (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn for example), which is very interesting...

I own another BST echo processor but this one is clearly better...

It sometimes generates a light hum noise... but its sound compensates for that and much more...

I didn't buy it and I have no idea of how much it costs.

I would like to find another one!

BST Echo Chamber is a box of tape delay magntique ... The operation is 100% analog. I have no ide of the date of manufacture of this machine ... It possde one between "high" from a "low" and two corresponding outputs ...

UTILIZATION

Gnrale configuration is very simple. One volume knob, a mix of "its not modifison modifiquot;, a button for the number of rptition, another for the hard of rptitions ...
It goes without saying that there is no tap-tempo, or things like that ...
I got no manual (I found it in the trash!), So I can not judge the clarity of the instructions ... Nanmoins with this type of product four buttons, it not hard to understand how it works.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect is particulirement beautiful. Trs is hot, and adds a layer of dusts dlicieuse the sound of the instruments on which it is connected ... I test on a Sh-101, a Nordstage, various guitars, Farfisa organs (Matador, VIP 205R, FK 50), etc ... and each time the sound is sublime ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half. I love the sound that comes from living this box and its expressive qualities relatively large ... The possibility of a feedback floydiens enough (see the type of sound that is on The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, for example) is really interesting ...
I have another box echo BST, and that is definitely the best ...
A lightweight buzz is sometimes heard ... but I forgive those little imperfections that machine because it's more than compensates for the services it provides ...
I did not buy and I have a vague ide prices that rating.
If I had the choice again (find it in the trash)? Absolutely
