Jon Carin and Pompeii T1…in the world of music, the quest for the perfect sound is a constant journey. Cicognani Engineering, with its Pompeii T1 echo pedal, has made a significant step in this direction. This pedal, inspired by the legendary Binson Echorec, was chosen by Jon Carin for Roger Waters’ 2023 European tour “This Is Not A Drill.”
The Pompeii T1 stands out for its tube preamp and the ability to recreate the sounds of heads 3 and 4 of the Pompeii PE603. With precise controls for tone, modulation, echo volume, and delay time, this pedal offers unparalleled versatility. During the tour, Jon Carin used two Pompeii T1 to recreate the distinctive sounds of Pink Floyd, bringing an authentic and immersive sound experience to the stage. The collaboration between Cicognani Engineering and Jon Carin has shown how modern technology can meet tradition to create something truly special. The Pompeii T1 isn’t just an echo pedal but a bridge between past and present, capable of evoking emotions and memories through sound.
Jon Carin played a crucial role in Pink Floyd’s later works, contributing to albums such as “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” and “The Division Bell”. He co-wrote the hit song “Learning to Fly” and participated in the band’s tours and live albums, including “Delicate Sound of Thunder” and “Pulse”.
In addition to his work with Pink Floyd, Carin has been a key member of Roger Waters’ solo projects and tours. His versatility extends to playing various instruments, including keyboards, guitar, lap steel guitar, and drums.
