NUX Tape Echo Effect Pedal

Authentic Tape Experience

The Tape Echo isn't just a digital delay; it is a full simulation of a mechanical machine. It features the classic seven-combination head layout, allowing you to dial in rhythmic patterns that range from simple slapback to intricate, multi-tap rhythmic textures.

• Wow & Flutter: Add natural pitch modulation and tape instability for that authentic, aged-gear feel.
• Saturation: Crank the gain to add the warm, harmonic grit that occurs when tape is pushed to its limit.
• Self-Oscillation: Just like the original, holding down the On footswitch triggers "runaway" feedback, perfect for creating massive, oscillating swells.

Modern Professional Features

While the tone is vintage, the functionality is built for the 2026 stage and studio:

• Built-in Looper: Features a dedicated SOS (Sound-on-Sound) looper with up to 40 seconds of recording time, perfect for layering ambient textures.
• Stereo Connectivity: Full stereo inputs and outputs provide a wide, immersive soundstage.
• LCD Display: A bright screen shows your current delay time (in MS or BPM) and provides a visual representation of the active tape heads.
• MIDI & USB: Includes MIDI I/O for complex rig integration and a USB port for firmware updates and deep editing via the NUX software.

Flexible Control

The pedal includes a dedicated Tap Tempo footswitch, making it easy to sync your echoes to the band in real-time. Additionally, it offers Spring Reverb, which can be used independently or blended with the tape echoes to recreate the full "Space Echo" experience.

Key Features:

• 7 Delay Combinations: Authentic multi-head rhythmic patterns.
• Real-Time Feedback: Infinite oscillation via the footswitch.
• High-Resolution Audio: 24-bit/44.1kHz processing for pristine signal quality.
• Customizable Decay: Adjust the "bass" and "treble" of your repeats to sit perfectly in any mix.

The NUX Tape Echo is the perfect bridge between 1970s character and modern reliability, offering a lush, organic alternative to standard digital delays.
