Takes the old tones of a classic tape echo and makes them even better.

It used to be that no delay could quite replicate the natural, warm, and shimmery tones of an old Echoplex tape echo—enter the Fulltone TubeTapeEcho, or TTE. Old tape echoes used to be noisy and unreliable, but the Fulltone TTE is dead quiet and features revamped electronics, tape transport path, and even the tape cartridge itself to near-overkill, producing less noise than most delay pedals. The TTE effect pedal can provide anywhere from a quick slapback to over 2 seconds of delay time. There is a top-panel-mounted, dual-speed toggle switch to choose between Hi-Speed and Lo-Speed operation. Hi-Speed gets you lots of Highs, less Bass, and a True Repeat without the Pitch variation of the old Echoplex. Lo-Speed is warm, with lots of Bass, less highs, and a slight "warble" that imparts a natural chorus.

Fulltone TTE Delay Effect Tube Tape Echo Features:

• Servo-controlled, high-torque DC motor is quieter than the big AC motors of yesteryear
• 2 x 12AX7 tubes at 200V DC. Erase/Bias section function uses 1 x Electro-Harmonix 12AT7
• Handwired audio path
• Stereo outs, 3 stereo modes
• Proprietary, custom-made Erase, Record, and Playback tape heads
• Fulltone ETC-1 Tape cartridge
• Nickel-plated, stainless steel parts
• Echo Tone Control—you can alter it to as vintage as you want a Tone control, affecting only the repeats

Order now and add the sounds of a real tape echo to your arsenal.

The greatest effects unit you'll ever own

Much has been written about the ethereal quality of the echos - they're amazing - and so much easier to use any digital pedal made. However, the quality and tone of the tube preamp with a full 25db of boost practically makes this worth the price. One listen and you will be wondering what you can sell to get this as your signal chain. Yes, as your entire signal chain - it's all you need.

Cream of thecrop of echo's

I have used one of the originals for many yearsand have not been able to match it's performance with any pedal yet. Your repeats are as full and warm as the original siganal. You really have to try one to hear what is missing from electronic digital or analog signals of your sound. Nothing reproduces it so exact as a tape. and the pre-amp is in a class of it's own. The price is very high because of the quality of echo repeats this gem can give you. If you love the old Robin Trower sound or Van Halen, run your guitar through one of these and you'll have to have one. That full sound just can't be gotten without a tape echo. Try it you'll like it.

The Real Deal

Do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time with digital & analog delay pedals and digital rack units. Just like a Leslie Simulator can not truly replicate the sound of a real Leslie. A digital modeler can not truly duplicate the tone of a Tape Echo unit. Trust me, I have owned several of them including the Line 6 DD4 and the T-Rex Replica. Prior to owning this echo, I was using a Chandler Digital Echo trough the loop of my Soldano SLO-100. I took the plunge and bought this baby about 3 years ago & I have never looked back. No pedal can do what this thing does. The vintage echoplex was too noisy and unreliable. Mike Fuller much improved on the design with this one. It has a great tone, very reliable. I gig about every weekend of the year and this unit has never let me down always worked and never failed. I’m still using the original tape too!
