Hiwatt Custom Tape Echo Delay Effect

Musicians are tired of sterile and cold sounding digital delay units, so we went back to the classic solution'tape. Only a tape echo gives the warm, natural sounds that make your music sound richer and more exciting. The big problem with tape echo units in the past though was reliability. So, we consulted with a lot of musicians in the L.A. area, worked through a lot of prototypes until everything was right. We even threw in the ability to control the tape speed using a foot pedal for subtle or wild effects. How you use the CTE is up to you, but how it performs is up to us, and believe it, you're gonna love this thing!

Features

Compact and light weight

Free running tape system for minimum wow and flutter

Continuous/Auto-Stop tape run feature allows longer tape life: If there is no input signal, the tape stops running, eliminating tape hiss noise and extending tape life

1,500 Millisecond maximum delay time. High quality tape echo sound - warm natural delay tone
- No IC's (integrated circuits) are used in the signal path.
- Minimum use of transistors and F.E.T. transistors for noiseless, clear, and unique tape echo tone.

Transposable pitch/Tape speed controllable by optional expression pedal.

Echo On/Off or Hold controllable by optional footswitch.
