New NUX NDD-7 Tape Echo Guitar Effects Pedal

NUX TAPE ECHO is a tribute to the Japanese-made Space Echo from 1974. Analogue tape echo devices record incoming audio to a loop of magnetic tape, then replay the continuous loop over the playback head before it is erased again by new incoming audio. NUX TAPE ECHO uses Core-Image technology to capture these characteristics including BASS, TREBLE, REPEAT RATE (TIME), INTENSITY (REPEAT), ECHO VOLUME (LEVEL), REVERB VOLUME (REVERB), and physical features like WOW, FLUTTER, and SATURATION, with self-regeneration and self-oscillation, all in a dual foot switch stomp-box enclosure.

NUX TAPE ECHO offers all the essential knobs like BASS, TREBLE, TIME, REPEAT, LEVEL, REVERB and SELECT (repeat pattern) for quick tweaking. Short press and hold the SELECT knob to enter ALT TWEAKING for SATURATION, WOW, FLUT, KILL DRY, and EXP. (Use the foot switch for self-feedback.)

NUX Tape Echo keeps the controls of the original hardware, and adds some for modern workflows. Use the SELECT knob for various head combinations, TIME for timing control, and REPEAT for repeats and self-oscillation. New features include BPM (Sub-division)/MS switching and TAP TEMPO.

Spring Reverb brings psychedelic Slapback & Ambience

The important characteristic of Space Echo is the spring reverb. Core-Image technology captured the natural spring reverb sound and combined it with warm, organic delay, so TAPE ECHO gives you lush echoes.

Hold the ON foot switch to engage self-oscillation for infinite feedback.

SOS mode

Press ON and TAP footswitches simultaneously to enter SOS mode (looper). The ON footswitch can do REC/PLAY/DUB as a phrase looper. The display shows current status. During loop playing, press ON and TAP to quit SOS mode and the loop will keep playing. You can change parameters and re-enter SOS mode.

Editor

You can assign MIDI settings through the editor. TAPE ECHO includes 3.5mm TRS/MIDI adaptors for MIDI IN / OUT functionality. It is a versatile and compact tool for modern guitarists looking for retro echo sound.
