Mistress Delayette - Analog Tape Voiced Echo
The soul of a veteran magnetic echo today lives on enclosed in a mo-
dern boutique pedal. Mistress Delayette, queen of Germanic beauty
in the 60s and today an elderly but still very attractive, symbolizes
the still current charm of the echo and reverb sounds typical of vinta-
ge magnetic units such as the Binson Echorec, Echolette NG51S, and
Maestro Echoplex EP-1. In the machines of that period, high fidelity
repetions was sought; because of their mechanical nature, without
accurate and constant maintenance, these effects tend to have pro-
blems related to the tape dragging, that generate their unique and di-
stinctive sounds. The TEFI Vintage Lab research team has created an
echo/reverb pedal effect with a Hi-Fi response, but with the possibility
of being altered by simulating the aging of the machine with the WOW
and FLUTTER commands that are completely analog and specially
calibrated to obtain maximum realism of reproduction. Two modes of
operation, the classic Echo and the Nachhall, where a second virtual
reproduction head is added, multiplying the repetitions similar to
the multiple reflections of many walls where each one characterized
by a different response. The Nachhall mode is useful for reverb and
slap back echo effects. It is possible to connect two external controls:
an expression pedal to change the frequency of repetitions (motor
speed), while a switch-momentary pedal can trigger instantaneous
self-oscillation (feedback). Ms. Delayette will take you to unexplored
worlds, with natural sound, versatility, and a wealth of functions.
