The TC Electronic Gauss Tape Echo is a delay based effect pedal that captures the feel of the much coveted and iconic guitar pedals of the past. Tape delay returns a distinctive, fat and warm tone, often associated with vintage recordings and boutique gear. Somehow TC Electronic have bottled the lightning of Tape Echo into a remarkably low-priced unit, giving even budget minded musicians the option of bringing the much-loved effect into their sound. The main face features three controls and a switch. Use the Delay knob to adjust the length of the delay time, from subtle to full duration. Volume affects the repeats, and how present they are. Sustain will increase or decrease the feedback in the signal, and therefore the repeats audible. The Gauss Tape Echo is a true bypass pedal.
