Empress Effects Tape Delay

£248.00

SKU: EE-DL-001

A new favourite for us and one that has since found its way to my board. Rich, lush tape delay in a deceptively small box. 3 flavours of tape age let you choose just how dark and gritty the repeats will get, while filter and modulation controls allow for even more fine tuning of your sound. Tap tempos with ratio multiplier mean rhythms like dotted eights are all at your fingertips.

The Empress Effects Tape Delay is simply one of the best tape delays we’ve heard, but importantly also not too complicated to use, a great balance in usability and tone. Now with an analog dry path, the Empress Effects Tape Delay is packed with features, all accessible from the ‘advanced’ configuration mode. Presets can store all your settings and be recalled at the touch of a button, making switching live fast and easy.

This little gem also features a tap tempo (a must for a delay for me) with ratio multipliers so rhythms like dotted eights are all at your fingertips without fuss. It’s set up as a true bypass pedal, or you can choose to use buffered bypass with trails (a must for many), but also this bypass is relay operated so even in turn bypass it’s quite when switching.

This pedal can give you that truly authentic tape delay sound, but it has more to hand also. Activate ‘blips’ to get wild sounds when you move the tape head around while playing

With delay times from 5ms to 2.8 seconds this is a powerful partner for your sound.

  • Amazing sound quality; impressive 103 db signal to noise ratio

We are an online store only, so your new pedal has never been demoed on a shop floor or been out on display. We do though test all pedals (and any power supplies where included with pedals) before we send them out to hopefully minimise any hassles of faulty pedals on delivery.

We use recycled materials where possible for our packaging, and all our energy is from renewable sources. Check out our environmental page.
