Nothing beats the old-school flavor and inimitable vibe of a true analog tape delay. Warm cascading echoes dripping in layers of harmonics have been a secret weapon of guitarists and synth players dating back to the 1970s. With the Replicator D’Luxe, T-Rex delivers an embarrassment of analog tape riches in a modern device sized to fit comfortably on a pedalboard or on top of your keyboard rig. Building on the foundation of the widely popular original Replicator pedal, the Replicator D’Luxe offers a streamlined interface with an upgraded noiseless belt drive and tape lock/release mechanism, making for the most reliable Replicator yet. One record head and two playback heads arm you with independently adjustable short delay and long delay ranges, which can be mixed together for a versatile selection of delay sounds. Guitarists at Sweetwater love pairing a slap echo with a droning quarter-note or half-note delay to strike that perfect balance of impact and atmosphere. Front-panel controls include an on/off switch with true bypass switching; a tap tempo control; and Delay Level, Feedback, and Time knobs. A Saturation knob on the back panel lets you heat things up for gritty, EP-style repeats. Onstage and in the studio, the T-Rex Replicator D’Luxe delivers the Holy Grail tape delay sound that tone chasers cherish!
