The Vintage Delay will instantly bring you back to the days of warm, lush, all-tube echoes, and at the same time it connects you to the state-of-the-art digital delays of today. It builds on the legacy of the classic TC 2290, the holy grail of delays. Resurrect the tape echo of the sixties, recreate the analog temperate sound of the tubes, or be cool with the studio quality delays. Tap-tempo lets you set the pace, and several control knobs gives you the power to be delayed, but not late.
Vintage Series Overview
The Vintage pedals from TC Electronic will awaken any slumbering desire to revisit the past with today's technology. All pedals build on a classical approach to guitar effects and are perfectly aligned with the TC guitar legacy. From giants of the past like the SCF pedal and the G-Force, over newly released VPD1 and G-System, TC Electronic offers you a complete range of guitar effects.
The new Vintage Series covers a wide range of sonic ground, and you're sure to find something that will add that extra quality and spice to your music. Spanning from Vintage Compressor, Vintage Tremolo and Vintage Delay, to Vintage Overdrive, Vintage Distortion, and Vintage Dual Distortion, the possibilities are infinite. We've even thrown in a Vintage Bass Distortion for that extra punch to the bottom. Combine the pedals in a classical sequence or hook them up to the G-System; the choice is yours. With the new Vintage Series, TC Electronic has ensured your freedom to choose your individual setup and sound.
Features
Delay time -- Sets the delay time. The delay time can be set from approx. 10ms to 1500ms.
Feedback Level -- Sets the amount of signal that is fed back to the input of the delay line. The higher setting the more delay repeats.
Delay Level -- Controls the level of the delay repeats.
Output Level -- Output level for the effect.
Filter -- To reproduce the slight deterioration of the delay repeats that was significant to old tape echoes the Filter can be switched on. This function gives a warmer sound on the delay repeats that allows long relatively loud delay repeats to blend much better in your overall sound.
Triplets -- In off position (up), the tapped tempo equals the delay time between the repeats. If you e.g. tap quarter notes at tempo 120BPM, the delay will repeat times 2 per second. When the triplet function is activated -- the delay repeats will play quarter note triplets according to the tapped tempo. That means 6 repeats per bar.
