TAPE DELAY 💎

TAPE DELAY - Roland RE-201 SPACE ECHO

The WING TAPE-ECHO is based on the mid-1970s effects unit Roland RE-201 Space Echo. This device emulates the original mechanism of the Space Echo which created a delay by recording the input signal onto a tape and playing it back. Varying the tape speed resulted in different delay times. The use of a tape gave this unit its characteristic warm, mid-range rich timbre, now commonly used for slapback delays on vocals and electric guitars.

Straightforward controls are provided: TIME, SUSTAIN (feedback), DRIVE and FLUTTER, which creates a stereo modulation effect.
