T-Rex Replicator - Tap Tempo Tape Delay

2 changes between NAMM 2015 and Musikmesse 2015:

• At NAMM there was only 1 expression input (labeled "expression"), at Musikmesse there were 2 expression inputs (for speed and feedback).

• Also new is a "kill dry" button on the back.

While the quality of tape delay emulators has come a long way, nothing beats the sound of a genuine magnetic tape delay. The REPLICATOR is a pure analog tape delay, handmade in Denmark. It features two playback heads (one tap-tempo controllable, one independently bypassable), and uses a durable C30 1/8" chrome tape cassette for a long life and very easy replacement.

Controls:

• Delay level: Adjusts the level of the two playback heads
• Feedback: Adjusts the amount of feedback on both delays, reaching self-oscillation
• Delay Time: Adjusts the delay time from 8 ms to 3 seconds; tempo can be tapped (does not apply to Head 2)
• Master Boost: Go from unity gain to +20dB boost for overall volume boosts
• Chorus: Built-in tape modulation; varies the tape speed in very small amounts, resulting in pitch modulation of the delays
• Saturation: Drives the Record head into saturation (led peak indication)
• On/Off switches for: Tap, Chorus, Heads & Master On/Off (true hardwire bypass)
• Kill Dry switch (for parallel loop)
• Input/Output jacks
• Two Expression Pedal inputs
• Includes 24V DC external power supply

Features:

• Record-, playback- and erase heads, for true analog tape echoes 2 playback heads: One is tap-tempo controllable, one is independently bypass-able. Both will be off when the pedal is bypassed
• Head2's delay time is dependant on the tape speed (delay time) and its effect on the sound varies with the delay time
• Easy tape cassette replacement (unscrew, pull the lever, take out casette, replace).
• 24VDC powered, for really high headroom. (In excess of +20dBu)
• True 85KHz, 60V bias oscillator to ensure pre-magnetization of the tape
• C30 1/8” chrome tape for extra long life
• All analog signal path
• Dimensions (WxHxD): 235 x 65 x 162 mm
