TC Electronic Gauss Tape Echo Pedal

Saturated Tape Echo Pedal with Mod Switch

Experience the saturated echoes of yesteryear with Gauss Tape Echo from TC Electronic, a compact and responsive pedal that faithfully recreates the warm fat tones and nuance of real vintage tape echo machines. Through simple Delay, Sustain, and Volume controls, Tape Gauss Echo offers several eras and styles of echo on tap.

Real vintage tape echoes are famously rare, expensive, and temperamental; but with Gauss Tape Echo, you get the authentic sound of these legendary machines. TC Electronic's specially designed tape algorithm can unleash powerful subsonic pitch dives and self-oscillating spirals of psychedelia with simple knob turns. With the Mod switch, you can add subtle warmth and modulation to your echoes. True bypass maintains your pure tone (free from high-frequency tone suck), when you decide to turn your echoes off. And with support for 9V battery or power adapter input (both sold separately), you'll never run out of juice, no matter where you are.

Just as any good delay pedal should, Gauss Tape Echo gives your tone a sense of space and substance, by stretching it out a little bit or a lot. It also fattens up the sound by adding a distinct sense of density.

But it also gives you the sought-after timbre of the original tape echo machines, complete with wow and flutter effects and authentic bass drop-off on the repeats. Gauss Tape Echo easily recreates any style echo, from the warm and organic tape delay of your favorite rock classics, to old-school �50s rockabilly slap-backs.

Unlike the original tape machines, Gauss Tape Echo is small and easy to transport. Its top-mounted jacks make it right at home on any pedalboard, while the sturdy metal frame will stand up to obscene amounts of stage and road abuse. Also, unlike the original designs, Gauss Tape Echo features true-bypass circuitry to keep your signal clear and bright, no matter what you throw at it.
