Tape Mode
Tape Mode was designed to impart some of the classic characteristics of
analog tape delays.
Delay time is controlled with the
tap
switch, and the
d time | ratio
knob
functions as a ratio control in Tape Mode.
Sub-mode A – Basic Tape Emulation
Sub-mode A provides basic tape emulation. Tape saturation and
compression artifacts are applied to the delayed signal.
Sub-mode B – Vintage Tape Delay
Sub-mode B adds a little bit of ‘wow’ and ‘flutter’ to the delayed signal;
the kind you would associate with an older tape machine that has tape
mechanisms needing replacement. This mode tends to impart the
sound of a subtle chorus.
Sub-mode C – Vintage Tape Delay with Old Tape
Sub-mode C is similar to sub-mode B but with subtle, intermittent
dropouts as one might experience from old, shedding tape and dirty
heads. The repeated signal will also saturate more than normal.
