Nux Tape Echo NDD7 Tape Echo and Looper

TAPE ECHO AND LOOPER PEDAL EFFECT

NUX Tape Echo is a tribute to the 1974 Japanese-made Space Echo.

Analog tape echo devices record incoming audio onto a magnetic tape loop, then play the continuous loop onto the playback head before it is erased again by new incoming audio.

Space Echo units used standard 1/4" tape designed for winding on tape reels; however, this device did not use reels of any kind; the tape is transported via a capstan drive.

The tape loop is contained in a loose, constantly moving tangle in the tape chamber (also known as the tape tank) under a plastic panel that protects the tape and prevents it from tangling.

The design resulted in lower levels of noise, wow, and flutter and reduced tape wear.

NUX Tape Echo uses Core-Image technology to capture these characteristics, including Bass, Treble, repeat rate (Time), Intensity (Repeat), Echo Volume (Level), Reverb Volume (Reverb), and physical characteristics such as Wow, Flutter, Saturation. Also self-regeneration, self-oscillation using a pedalboard enclosure with dual footswitch.
