nux tape echo pedal NUX Tape Echo NDD-7 PedalNUX 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 replays the continuous loop over the playback head before it is erased again by new incoming audio. The Space Echo units used the standard 1 4" tape designed to spool onto tape reels, however, this device used no reels of any kind; the tape is transported via a capstan drive. Your browser does not

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 replays the continuous loop over the playback head before it is erased again by new incoming audio. The Space Echo units used the standard 1/4" tape designed to spool onto tape-reels, however, this device used no reels of any kind; the tape is transported via a capstan drive. 

More

The tape loop is contained in a loose, constantly moving jumble in the tape chamber (also known as the tape tank) under a plastic panel which protects the tape and keeps it from getting tangled. The design resulted in lower levels of noise, wow, and flutter, and cut down on tape wear. 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, SATURATION. Even self-regenerate, self-oscillation using 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, EXP. (Use Foot Switch for self-FEEDBACK. )

Repro-Tape Heads combination
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, combined the warm and organic delay, TAPE ECHO gives you lush echoes. Hold the ON foot switch, you can engage self-oscillation to get the infinite feedback.

SOS mode
Press ON and TAP footswitches simultaneously to enter SOS mode(looper). TAPE ECHO includes 3.5mm TRS/MIDI adaptors for MIDI IN / OUT functionality. The display will show you current status. During loop playing, you can press ON and TAP footswitch to quit SOS mode, the loop will keep playing. You can change the parameters and reenter to SOS mode.

Editor
You can assign the MIDI settings through editor. TAPE ECHO offers you 3.5mm MIDI IN / OUT jacks with additional TRS/MIDI adaptors. It’s a versatile and compact tool for modern guitarists looking for retro echo sound.
