Ferenc, I think most echo/delay pedal units have this feature by
now. It's easy to find one with it, and they're cheap.

No, I've never owned one of those, though I was always intrigued by
them as they give you the multiple playback head capability, which
should give the staggered echos effect of those early-sixties Euro
tape echo units. But the Headrush went out of production several
years ago, and the prices skyrocketed cause all the 'loopers' wanted
one. It's back in production now, but still kinda pricey...
I've been using Korg Dynamic Echo pedal exclusively (for surf,
anyway, not for the Shadows stuff) since early '98. I recorded the
New World Relampagos CD with it, as well as the new Madeira CD. It
gives you both hi and low-end rolloff, and you can control how
much. I truly love this pedal. I also have a Digitech Digidelay,
which has the "tape-echo" setting, and though it sounds OK, it
doesn't sound nearly as vintage as my Korg. The problem with the
Korg is that it's been out of production for a few years now.
I'm actually very interested in this new Line 6 Echo Park -
relatively cheap, gives you the staggered-head settings, the tape
echo sound, and I hear it sounds great. I'll have to check it out.
That would probably be my choice right now.
Guitar Player ran a 'shootout' type thing among a bunch of echo
pedals just about two issues ago - you may want to check that out.
I thought it was very informative.
Good luck!!
Ivan
