Hotone Tape Eko

Modeling Tape Delay

Psychedelic music uses the imagination to filter how we understand this strange ad beautiful world we live in: through melody and noise, with echoes and ambiance, with peace and love.

The TAPE EKO is a smart echo pedal that embodies the soul of the classic tape echo sound. It provides three delay modes: Mode I, ModeII, and reverse mode. Mode I gives you all the advantages of a digital delay. Compared with other tape echo effects, this mode produces a brighter, cleaner tone with less noise, all without sacrificing warmth or dynamics. Mode II differs from Mode I in terms of dynamics.

These tones are much more true to the traditional magnetic tape echo machine response. The reverse mode, which models a magnetic tape machine’s playback head operating backwards, shares the characteristics of Mode I: warm and natural while maintaining clarity – It will literally take you back in time.
