Replicator D'Luxe - Tape Echo (Product video)

The Replicator D’Luxe sum up from all the knowledge we have built up over the years, making Tape delays.
It is a two head machine. The drive mechanism is now updated with a noiseless belt drive. A tape lock/release mechanism is added to make the pinch wheel and tape last longer, and electronics has been tuned to perfection.
The Replicator D'Luxe comes with multiple Playback-heads for true analogue tape echoes.
One Record head and two playback heads. Short Head for slapback delay. Long Head for longer modern delays, or combine both heads for a semi Delay-Room experience.
• Delay time Short head =108 - 520mS. Delay time long head = 215 - 1000 mS
• Tap tempo for Long Head and half the time for the short Head
• True Bypass switching with a gold plated relay
• New motor suspension with belt drive for reduced noise operation
• New Tape deck lock-mechanics to protect pinch roller and tape for longer life span
• All analogue signal path from input to output
• Power supply with exchangeable blades 90-240 Volt, and an extra tape cartridge included

I bought one as soon as it as released and lately I've been using mine for recording with a line out from my DAW so that I can add it to any track. I use the kill-dry switch and turn the gain all the way down. So many effects you can do such as tape flange and doubling with this setup.

Hey, i search a good slap delay for my vocals for my mixings. I search something it sounds like a marshall tape eliminator. Because the tape eliminator is too expensive. You think its possible with this T-Rex unit?

[@lance134679]

@@MrJinusean90 Yes, it can do slap pretty well. It has 2 heads, one short and one longer and each are voiced differently - the short delay is a bit duller, the farther one a bit brighter.

@@lance134679 thank you 👍 I've heard more about this unit but i think the fluttering is too extreme for my application. I saw a new video from cla last week, and he used a revox tape machine and this slap delay sounds soo good.

I have one now! ❤

When dialled in correctly it sounds amazing. I'm still bummed that I've returned mine. Maybe in the future I'll pick one up again.

Saving my pennies for one of these, such a cool delay.

I am confused by my unit. I pulled the tape deck release, but the tape is not moving and there is no delay sound at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hi I just bought a demo model from Sweetwater but when I turn the effect on the tape does not spin. Please help :)
