About the Tape Echo
A modern stompbox that faithfully captures the character of classic tape-delay machines, while delivering modern flexibility and reliability. Inspired by the iconic 1970s “Space Echo” units, this pedal uses cutting-edge “Core-Image” digital modeling to reproduce the subtle tape saturation, tape-head coloration, natural spring reverb, and even the gentle wow & flutter that give tape echo its timeless magic — without the maintenance, noise issues or bulk of real magnetic-tape gear.
Whether you’re chasing those dreamy ambient repeats, slapback echoes for rockabilly or surf-tone, or swirling psychedelic reverbs for shoegaze and experimental sounds, Tape Echo delivers vintage vibe and modern convenience in one sturdy stompbox.
Product Features
Authentic Tape Echo Emulation
Seven “repro-tape-head” combinations give you a range of classic echo textures, from tight slap-back to long, drifting repeats.
Spring-Style Reverb Built In
Adds lush, atmospheric ambience that recalls classic spring-reverb units — perfect for surf, vintage rock, dreamy textures or spacious soundscapes.
Up to 1600 ms Stereo Delay with Tap Tempo & Sub-division
Tap-tempo control lets you sync your echoes to whatever tempo you’re playing.
Wow & Flutter + Saturation Controls
Emulates the subtle imperfections and analog character of real tape machines, adding warble, warmth, and organic movement to your sound.
