From www.proguitarshop.com,Fulltone invested 11 months and $275,000 worth of tooling, sweating and high expectations for the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo. It actually turned out better than Fulltone had imagined, but they can only make about 5 TTE's per day (x 4 day work-week) making it sometimes hard to find them in stock. We have the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo in stock ! The Tube Tape Echo is hugely impressive ! Consider the TTE for your next echo FX.
Why a Tape Echo you ask? Because no pedal or rackmount, analog or digital delay can reproduce the warm, natural tones of a tape delay. If you have ever played a healthy Echoplex then you know what we are talking about.
Is it noisy or unreliable? Older tape delays had a history of being unreliabl
e and noisy. However, the Fulltone TTE is dead quiet. Fulltone completely reworked the electronics, the tape path, and the tape cartridge itself. Fulltone is famous for for overdesigning and overbuilding their high quality effects. The Tube Tape Echo will produce less noise that most delay pedals.
H
ow much delay time? The FullTone TTE can produce anything from a quick slapback echo to over two full seconds of delay. Featuring a dual speed toggle switch, the user can choose between his speed and low speed operation.
Is the Fulltone better than the Vintage Tape Delays?
The AC motors found in v
intage tape delays were inefficient and noisy. Full Tone used servo-controlled hi-torque DC motors. The result was a quieter and more stable motors that are 1/4 the size.
