Dubkasm’s Echo Units - a Dubwise Tour
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2019
- Live from the Dubkasm studio in Bristol: a tour of our favourite echo units with sound clips and a look at the features and individual quirks that make them dubwise. Chapter markers below:
Strymon El Capistan (2011) - 1:31
Benidub Digital Echo (2016) - 4:39
Eventide H9 Max (2015) - 7:29
Electro Hamonix Deluxe Stereo Memory Man (2008) - 15:10
DMB Lunar Echo (2013) - 13:17
Source Audio Nemesis (2015) - 17:40
Line 6 DL4 (1999) - 20:00
Maestro Sireko (1970’s) - 23:24
We felt there was a big gap on UA-cam for echo demos where the only sound source wasn’t electric guitar playing washed out ambient chords or rockabilly slapback, so Digistep ran some of our reggae chops, vocals, cello and horns through the units to save you having to imagine what they would sound like.
We feature gear ranging from our 1970’s Sireko tape echo to cutting edge DSP-based units. The videos are not intended to be full product feature reviews and we have focused solely on what we love about each pedal in the context of dub reggae production.

Thank you to Joe and our contributors at Benidub, Eventide and Source Audio.
Watching this video cost me almost 600 Euro! Both El capistan and Truespring are on their way. Thanks a lot for all these videos, I learned a ton!
I just got the Benidub Echo.. it’s the Sauce... I wish there was someone that could ‘splain what is actually happening.. but I’ve been sitting with it for hours having a 💥 blast..
Big up 🌿 we need more videos like this
Well constructed very informed and nice bloke,cheers for that man,rip Lee scratch perry.
Can't wait to get my hands on an El Capistan, sooon come!
I enjoyed it :) Delay is probably my favorite type of effect.
Great comparisons, really helpful....
Blessings from Winston Dread Earthquake studio, just noticed Tenastilin at the beginning, work with him in the mid 80's he lived here in Northampton. Also he done an album with my school/studio friend TNT Roots 👍😁
Yes winston, massive respect for your works over the years King ❤
Absolutely fantastic. Wish I still lived in Bristol.
Thank you for sharing
Wicked Digistep - so informative. Based on your video, I think i will be buying the El Capistan
I love it.
This is golden info... thanks for your generosity with the info.
We need some more studio videos!
Give thanks for sharing. Guidance and bless up dubkasm
Big up and thanks for supporting!
Awesome video - thanks for posting 👍
Delay & Reverb is for the life of a dub life ! :) give thanks for this nice video !!
100%! Big ups
Favorite artists, favourite music ,favourite gear :) all 3 together . Respect
Big up Sioni Hi-Fi! Keep the fire blazing!
Excellent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
3 minutes (...) after see your video i bought my El Capistan.
Rrr
I'm sure you didn't regret it!
Just bought the Strymon El Capistan thanks to your video
Love this video. Thanks for including the Nemesis Delay!
Absolute pleasure to rep you guys at Source Audio! Pure quality effects. The Truespring featured heavily on our last LP Shady Grove. Amazing to be able to tweak them in depth all with your editor too. Maximum respect!
Excellent video thank you for posting
The Strymon El Capistan sounds really good! Learned a lot with your videos, Thanks and big up Dubkasm!
Glad you enjoyed it Papa Gab! Yes the El Cap is killer - so many good features and pristine sound.
Thanks for the vid, dubkasm. I really love listening to dub when working and relaxing. It's good for our souls. I now have a very good source as to which delay pedals to purchase. The Boss RE-20 is ok but tends to saturate the sound the more the intensity is increased. It's has to be turned down. I've been using some Lexicon rack units but haven't been happy with the results. Your vid has put me on the right track. Thank-you again👍👍👍
Excellent examples of always intriguing DUB-echos. Got some ideas from your video. Lets Capitan!
great idea to have build that transparent table that sit on the desk perfectly so u can jam easily .. very great
Thanks I enjoyed your video it was interesting , I love Dub Scientist in particular I play bass myself but like to make my own Dubs , my old Wem copiecat was not working so good so I bought a Boss DD7 and a Roland RE 20 space echo they work well for my needs.
However a friend persuaded to take the copie cat apart and have a look , im glad I did found a couple problems and change the cables now its working a treat so happy to have it back up and running again can't beat it.
My Sireko is one of my greatest scores. Love that box. Great option for true analog tape delay and saturation. I’ve even run it without delay with the sustain pushed for a very uniquely pleasing saturation.
Very nice video, thanks a lot!
Thanks for teach us👍👍👍
the digitech obscura is also a nice "dirty" delay
22:33 that perfect point 👉
Excellent video. Have been wanting to see something like this for a long time. Thank you. 😇
Great video. Makes me want to start doing some dub stuff again. The Capistan is a great pedal - the only one I've used out of all the ones featured on this video, though I do have a Memory Boy. I really need to try the dub vibe on my Old Blood Noise Endeavours' Black Fountain - that's probably my favourite delay pedal at the moment.
Strymon El Capistan and the Benidub Digital Echo stole the show IMO.
Brilliant.
I'm mostly a bassist, but dabble in guitar and production and love old school dub. The treble-focused echo is something all the guitar pedal crowd seems to avoid.
Loved this video and subscribed, just setting up a home studio and using guitar pedals for delays and verbs , and havnt been able to find good technical videos like this .
Thanks man, really glad it helped - good luck with the setup
Wow, thanks for that! Hope to get my hands on an El Capistan soon :)
gooood move
four channel el cap rack would be major.
This is so great. Im the same, always looking for reviews of echo pedals for dub but its always guitar! Thanks for posting.
Thanks Clayton! I know the feeling... can you cope with another Fender Strat with washes of delay?? Cheers for watching
Excellent
Cheers for the support! Glad you liked it
Fascinating. Thanks for the tour! Really insightful.
Great video thanks for sharing the info, a great watch and listen.
Thanks a lot Tim, much appreciated!
Another dub-centric channel......im now collecting them.
i was wondering how the mixing engineers use delay effects in the dub of reggae finally found it, thanks for the video
Glad it was helpful :)
tape echo and spring reverb units
Always thought pedals were VSTs in a box
A fascinating in-depth video. Must have taken ages and makes me realise how much I have to learn. Thanks so much for taking the time to produce and distribute this.
Really liked your dub tips series. This is also excellent - thanks! Any chance for a similar one on reverbs?
benidub
That would be a good idea! We'll keep it on our radar... Thanks for following the dub tips. Respect
@@luciobaldoni5693 Benidub with some majestic tones! Big up Marco and Sandro for the killer echoes and superb build
@@luciobaldoni5693 thank you. Isn't the benidub an amp and you need a separate spring tank? Cheers
80's Tokai and 80's yamaha pedal going into each other on the sage pre-amp gives some great fx and really cheap to buy
Nice! Sounds good to me :) Thanks for the tip
I forgot to say I got the benedub lick shot hard to get the one you got seems to be out of stock. Had no idea about the input and what to do with it. Nice !!
Zen Delay… best bandpass filter out there on a delay
amazing video
Big up man
amazing video ...would love to see the TimeLine; Volante and Magneto...
100% Uwe! Definitely on our Dubkasm wishlist. Strymon are such experts at what they do. Thanks for watching!
theres one sound you are missing. get an old EH echoflanger(polychorus and polyflange too, the 240v models from late 70s, early 80s) and put the chorus setting on max feedback. pure jammy and scientist. delay pedal or plug-in will get this sound
nice, excellent tip thanks!
Magnificent
great man!
Thanks Liquid Steppa
great test ! respect :-)
Thanks a lot - big ups!
Great video. I've been a delay fiend for a long time but will have to seek out the DMB Lunar Echo. I highly recommend a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo (effectively a new version of the Echoplex tube EP2, which I love, have two) and the Bugbrand PT delay (from Bristol's own Tom Bugs). Talking of Source Audio, give their old dimension reverb pedals a try. cheap on ebay, they're mono and they're green.
just had a look at the DMB pedal demo's; you're right I'd never have picked up that the pedal breaks up the echoes.
Great rundown. I also love delays. The Benidub is on my wish list along with the Empress Tape Echo and the forthcoming Zen Delay from Ninja Tune/Erica Synths. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Zen if you get to check it out.
Thank a lot Paul! The Empress looks really good - definitely wish list stuff. I looked at the Xen delay and it looks really versatile. The filters sound really fat! Seems more of a digital filtered delay though - also has its place in some mixes of course. Big up for the support
Great video. Reminds me how empty my wallet is though sadly.
Greetings outta France ! Guidance
Merci bien! Big up
Where did you get your glasses ? They look great. Great work.Reg Plasma .
Where can I buy that shirt ? Lg
NICE NICE Nice Nice nice nice n n n n...
Really hope you get your paws on an Eventide H90 - I would love to hear what you do with it!
I used to have that exact Sountracs desk
I used to think my main influence in my electonic music was Tangerine Dream but recently I realised it was dub reggae like Prince Jammy v The Scientist.
I have 2 Eventide H9's.
Was bumping that in high school instant classic
@@GeoFavTech I now have two Vermona Retroverb Lancet's and an Oto Machines Bim delay. But still up for more dub fx, tempted by a Benidub echo, love it's filters.
@@girlinagale I got a benidub lickshot awesome hardware will pop your equipment if you turn it up to high.
Awesome video! I just did a dub demo on the El Capistan as well. Would love for your feedback. Cheers and thanks for the videos. Really well done. Love the B roll footage!
Nice one for the feedback and thanks for watching! Will check out your video for sure :) big ups
this is great, thanks for your insight! I went the delay mad earlier in the year..bought a Watkins Copicat, an Evans EP-100 and Ep-250 (the one with spring reverb), a Europsonic etc etc... it's like a drug once you get going :)
That is an arsenal, fair play for the commitment and great choices
Absolutely great video! It would be awesome to see the same video-concept but with reverb fx-units! :-) A little bit off-topic, but I hope it's ok: I would have two questions regarding the use of spring reverbs in live situations. I'm currently using a Vermona Retroverb Lancet in my setup. My problem is, that when the bass kicks in at live-concerts the spring starts vibrating which causes unpleasant feedbacks. Any tips and tricks for using analog springs in live-situations? Is the only "clean" solution the use of a spring reverb emulation? Thanks, and keep going with your great videos!
you just actually solved one big question i had!!! thanks, im going for the tru spring
That's a hard one - props for using it live . Our good friend Egoless uses a Lancet live to amazing effect (in heavy dub bass environments). My immediate thought is you could isolate it with some foam like you do a record deck, or you could use a noise/hum eliminator pedal which acts like a noise gate for guitar. Good luck :)
you wrap the spring rever up or at least place it on a pillow to stop it vibrating on whatever its sitting on
I think a cheap alternative to el capistan is the Nux Tape Core Deluxe
I’d really like to se you do this and hear your opinion on Erica synths Nina tune
Love this video - for someone just starting what cheap options would you suggest?
Does anybody know if i could use the El Cap on send and return through a DJ mixer liike the Xone 92 and get a synched delay? please thanks x
I don't think you could sync it by MIDI but you can use tap tempo to match the tune you are monitoring?
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Stereo Memory Man sounds amazing. That Tone Ruler is the scene-stealer, though - wow! Would you mind sharing who makes that?
Thanks a lot Simón! Yeah, Momory Man is wicked. Although I say it's like an auto panner it's not just a simple sine wave type pan, it's more like the delay splits into two time segments and they get hard panned as opposed to a pendulum type pan. Tone ruler is designed by a talented Portuguese guy called Mo - www.drakemusic.org/technology/instruments-projects/tone-ruler/
Big ups!
Awesome video. May i ask what do you guys use to connect the pedals to the daw or is it just using send signals from your mixer? I'm trying to use my delay pedals for mixing but can't get the audio to line level. I'm just using a scarlett interface though.
Thanks for commenting Rezmar, in our setup it is just aux send effects. I think you may be limited to the number of ins and outs your Scarlett has but it is possible to use an external effect and record it into the mix of your DAW. There may be some latency but that may not be a problem. Hope this answers your question! Big up
@@dubkasm yeah my interface is quite limited so i don't think it would be possible to print the outboard effects. Thanks for the response! Bless you
Technical question. Do I need reamp and di box to connect h9 or Strymon as send fx with mixer and have good sound?
It does improve the signal to noise ratio if you use a reamp box in and then a passive DI on the way out, into your desk XLR. The demo was using a reamp box on the way in but just straight line level outputs from the H9. Ideally you'd have two channels of DI but it can be done without them. Hope it helps
Yooo Dubkasm, what's the small box you use in the exp jack for the el capistan?
Thank you for all tips and units show. I like it. I started with live dub on console. Because of your presentation I bought Nemesis and True Spring Reverb. Would you be so kind and recommend some phaser effects ? Thanks !
Wow, really glad it inspired you Norbert. Any Boss Phaser is great because you can get those super resonant phase sounds - check 90's tunes from Disciples for examples. I also use the TC Electronics Helix Phaser which is great too, more complex and editable. Boss is killer though
is that a custom made 'pedal table"?
want to know about this as well
@@2lanes273 Maybe it's a jewlery stand or something of the sort.
@@danvandal4127 or this www.amazon.com/Tempered-Computer-Adjustable-Notebook-HD01T-002/dp/B072MLGZT5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=glass+monitor+riser&qid=1606504108&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRk9RNkpMSjdHWk5WJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODM3NjQ5MVA5UUxZR0tINDNBWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzI1MTY3M0c0TFlYS1FFTUVQRCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
It's just a PC riser which worked well as a pedal board. Maybe we could sell them as 'boutique FX platforms at £99? lol
@@dubkasm LOL
What do you think about the TC Electronic D-Two
Don't bother, look for something better.
@@savanaviolenta thanks
what's your thoughts on the strymon Volante vs the el capstan ? im considering adding another delay
It looks wicked. tbh everything Strymon does seems killer. The volante would be a different sound to the El Cap but I've not tried it (yet haha)
what about the space echo pedal? RE-20
Have tried it before. The original Space Echo is of course an absolute killer but I never found the pedal emulation's feedback quite right. Great all round pedal though. I like how they have faithfully recreated the combos of delays and reverbs like on the original. One of my best memories of the RE201 is Aba Shanti using it in the Falasha studio with just the spring reverb engaged - worthy of a pedal in its own right!
Thanks for watching
@@dubkasm i have also owned the various space echo clones but never liked the feedback when kept going. the newish boss re20 my favourite sounding space echo emulation but still i couldnt get into the feedback when turned right up it went into a nasty distortion that didnt sound real so i sold it and got a strymon el capistan and all my prayers were answered. the feedback was so lush it was hard to resist not over using it haha in fact the el cap is my favorite delay ever out of all digital and real tape etc. it has such a lush hi end sound but still contains the rawness of a tape type sound :)
When you turn it on it stink like dogs 😂🤣🤣🤣
