For harmonically rich, vintage-inspired tape delay effects, turn to the Strymon EC-1 Single Head dTape Echo pedal. At its core, the EC-1 possesses the heart and soul of traditional tape echo devices; it uses meticulously crafted tube modeling techniques to capture the lush, dynamic eccentricities of older tape delay machines. Not only can you dial in anything from classic slapback-style delays to longer, dreamier soundscapes, but you can also fine-tune your sound’s behavior and sound quality. The tone-shaping possibilities are endless, from clean, subtle, and shimmering echoes to unpredictable, distorted echo trails. Mono and stereo outputs with buffered or true bypass ensure the EC-1 will adapt to any studio or live setup. Use the integrated tap tempo to choose your delay time without adding extra pops or unwanted noises to your sound — an impossible feat with a proper tape echo. Finally, user access is further expanded via the EXP/MIDI input. Whether you’re re-creating psychedelic sounds of the past or adding texture to a new musical tapestry, the EC-1 will integrate with the rest of your rig seamlessly.
