DTE-1 Reel Echo

The Danelectro DTE-1 Reel Echo is a tape simulator pedal designed to replicate the sound of vintage tape echo units. It offers up to 1-1/2 seconds of delay and features a warble switch to simulate tape pitch deviations. The pedal includes a lo-fi control to roll off high frequencies of successive repeats, emulating the characteristics of tape. Additionally, it has a Tube/Solid State toggle to select the desired vintage sound and a Sound on Sound button for layering multiple tracks. The pedal is built with options for tube/solid state styles and offers speed range control of up to 1500ms. The design is all SMD and digital, and it is housed in a metal enclosure. The DTE-1 Reel Echo is suitable for creating warm, atmospheric, analog tape delay effects and is well-suited for genres like ambient, post-rock, or shoegaze.
