T-Rex Replica Delay

T Rex · pedal

The T-Rex Replica is a digital delay pedal voiced for tubey, tape-like warmth rather than sterile digital precision, delivering clean, dark delay trails with a toggle-switch tap tempo control that keeps the delay locked to a song's tempo even as it changes. The Hi-Cut switch rolls off high frequencies on the repeats to simulate the darker character of 1960s-era tape echo. Time, Repeat, Mix, and Level controls give quick, precise control over the delay. It has been used by guitarists including Pete Townshend and John Mayer for its warm, musical delay character. It suits players wanting tape-echo-like warmth and darkening repeats from a digital delay rather than a bright, pristine digital echo.
