Tape Echo is an echo and delay processor with 7 different types of simulation to recreate the sound of vintage echo units. In addition to classic tape echo simulation, the NDD-7 has a separate spring reverb effect, sound-on-sound (SOS) for operation as a 40 second looper, and up to 1600ms of delay. For authenticity, the NDD-7 also has Wow & Flutter settings and Saturation adds natural compression and degradation, which can even drive into self-oscillation, like a true tape echo. Two foot switches operate as effect on/off and tap tempo and they double as looper and display controls. Above the foot switches are Time, Repeat, Level and Reverb controls and 2-band EQ governs the tone of repeats. USB connectivity and MIDI compatibility give further possibilities for deep control and integration with DAW and project studio setups. A full vintage echo collection in a single compact pedal for those seeking the genuine retro echo sound.
