Well that’s alright My Mama, That’s alright with you……..If you are dreaming of picking up your guitar and playing some 50s Rock and Roll or Rockabilly tunes then you will need to buy a good quality Slapback Echo Guitar Pedal for your pedal board. Likewise, if you want to recreate those iconic Country guitar twang riffs of the 70s you will need to grab your compressor pedal and hook it up to a slapback echo pedal before you can get out on the range. Slapback Echo is not the same are reverb or delay, it is normally 1 single reflection of the guitar signal on a specific time setting which creates an effect similar to double tracking as if two guitars are playing the same notes slightly out of sync.
Slapback echo uses a delay time normally from 75ms to 250ms, with little or no feedback. The effect is characteristic of vocals on 1950s rock-n-roll records, particularly those produced by Sun Studios in Memphis in the 50s. The early Sun Studio recordings of artists like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Chet Atkins were produced on the Sun Records label. These early recordings featured a novel production technique that was termed “slapback echo”. It was noted that no live sound was heard without an echo element, and hence added the effect to add realism and resultant depth to the recorded track. The effect was produced by re-feeding the output signal from the playback head tape recorder to its record head. The physical space between heads, the speed of the tape, and the chosen volume being the main controlling factors.
The slapback effect is associated with Rock and Roll, Rockabilly and Country guitar playing styles and is a great pedal to own if you are considering that style of music, plus of course a compressor pedal. In modern days many guitar effect pedal manufacturers have developed new guitar pedals to replicate this effect in a stompbox design. Review the Slapback Echo Guitar Pedals below.
