From T-Rex Engineering:The Replicator is T-Rex Engineering's take on the ultimate tape echo unit, complete with a motor, magnetic heads and a tape cartridge. The goal was to make a tape echo unit that could nail the sound quality of the old echo units, but surpass them in features. Size, ease of use and super-fast tape replacing were obvious areas of improvement - but we also put in tap tempo, two playback heads for three output modes and a chorus mode that modulates the pitch of the echoes. Additionally, two rear expression pedal inputs allow the player to control delay time and feedback in real time for instant synth-noise at your feet.The high headroom of the circuit will allow you to use this pedal for processing line signals (keyboards, P.A. aux sends, preamps, etc.) as well.The difference between a super precise, accurate digital echo and the Replicator is that there is a certain amount of unpredictability in the sound of tape. It has its own life, almost. And that personality translates into a very natural sounding echo that we think feels more like an instrument than a sound effect. Specs: 100% analog signal True bypass Two playbackheads for three modes of operation Tap tempo Kill dry switch Expression pedal control of time and feedback The Replicator comes initially with two tape cartridges; and replacing the tape cartridge takes only a few seconds! Extra cartridge replacements are sold separately.
