It reproduces not just delay time but the behaviour of the tape path itself: saturation, tonal change across transport speeds and the hiss that in these units was an inseparable part of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRepeats that live rather than simply copy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a tape echo the loop is only a few centimetres long and wears out fast, so its defects are far more audible than in a reel-to-reel recorder. Speed is never stable, which produces wow and flutter and small pitch shifts across successive repeats. On top of that comes a behaviour digital delays do not have at all: the erase head cannot fully clear a saturated signal, so a heavily driven sound can leave a trace that returns some fifteen to twenty seconds later. Echo reproduces that too, along with the slip as the tape splice passes the capstan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree heads, EQ and spring reverb in one path\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pedal provides three independent delay lines acting as heads, which covers short, medium and long repeats and their rhythmic combinations. Separate bass and treble controls act on the echo path, so repeats can be darkened or brightened without touching the dry signal, which runs fully analogue. A built-in spring reverb emulation adds the ambience these machines were known for, and a tap tempo footswitch locks the time to the song without looking down at a knob. Separate echo-only and dry\/wet outputs make parallel routing straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulates classic 1970s Space Echo style tape units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree independent delay lines acting as tape heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed recreation of tape saturation and modulation character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated bass and treble EQ for the delay path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in spring reverb emulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTap tempo footswitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully analogue dry path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent echo-only and dry\/wet outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects via Crumar One-Cord or a standard 1\/4 inch input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tape echo emulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelay lines: 3, independent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ: bass and treble on the echo path\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverb: spring reverb emulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry path: analogue, no digital conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: echo-only and dry\/wet, separate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 114.3 x 33.8 x 94 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 9 V DC centre negative, 300 mA, PSU included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Crumar, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crumar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54068738425169,"sku":"60286","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/CrumarEchoTapeDelayPedal1.jpg?v=1787053439","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/products\/crumar-cosmic-echo-tape-delay-pedal","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
