T-Rex announced the Binson Stereophonica, an analog stereo drum delay based on the Binson Echorec, on January 27, 2026. The maker calls it "The World's First Stereo Drum Delay"¹, and Guitar Pedal X reported that preorders are open at Perfect Circuit, Vintage King and Sweetwater².

The unit uses a real rotating magnetic drum, which T-Rex says delivers "the unmistakable warmth, movement, and harmonic character only genuine magnetic recording can create"¹. It has two selectable record heads, labeled Short and Long, and four independently switchable playback heads, each with its own volume and pan control¹. Drum speed is variable and can be controlled by an expression pedal, which also handles feedback¹. The maker lists Repeat and Swell modes, Kill Dry for parallel and studio routing, and full MIDI implementation¹.

Connections include an instrument input, balanced and unbalanced stereo inputs and outputs, MIDI In and Out, and an expression pedal input¹. T-Rex gives the input impedance as greater than 500K Ohm at 1KHz and the maximum instrument input signal as 2,5 to 3,00 Volt pp, adjustable¹. The unit runs on an included 24V DC supply, center negative, 2.0 mm center pin, and draws 350mA¹. It measures 250 x 142 x 224 mm and weighs 3,34 kg / 7.36 lbs¹. T-Rex says each unit is handcrafted in Denmark¹.

Guitar Pedal X described the drum as "magnetic wire wrapped moving drum just as the original" and listed the record heads as "Slow and Long"², where T-Rex's own page names them Short and Long¹. The same report put the price at roughly $3,000, calling that figure appropriate for the build, and noted that T-Rex had no details on its site at the time². T-Rex's product page carries no price¹.

T-Rex also sells the Binson Echorec, a mono recreation of the original drum delay with four playback heads, two recording heads, drum speed adjustment of plus or minus 20 percent, a Magic Eye level meter and balanced and unbalanced outputs³. It draws 300mA at 24V DC and measures 100 x 250 x 190 mm³. Both units sit in the maker's delay pedals line.
