TTE Tube Tape Echo
The Fulltone TTE Tube Tape Echo is a modern marvel that brings the legendary sound of vintage tape echo units into the 21st century. Designed by effects guru Scotty Johnson, this desktop unit captures the warm, shimmering tones that made tape delays like the Echoplex so beloved by guitar heroes like Eric Johnson and David Gilmour. At the heart of the TTE are two 12AX7 tubes that provide the rich, organic overdrive that's the hallmark of classic tape echo. But Fulltone has meticulously engineered this unit to eliminate the noise and reliability issues that plagued the old tape machines. A custom-designed DC motor drives the tape transport with rock-solid stability, while premium tape heads deliver improved frequency response and longevity. The TTE offers a wide range of delay times, from subtle slapback to lush, spacious echoes over 2 seconds long. A clever dual-speed switch lets you choose between a bright, crisp "hi-speed" mode or a deeper, warbler "lo-speed" setting that emulates the natural chorus effect of vintage units. And with stereo outputs, you can create expansive, ping-pong delay textures that will fill any room. Whether you're chasing vintage tones or seeking to expand your sonic palette, the Fulltone TTE Tube Tape Echo is a remarkably versatile and high-quality tape delay that will inspire your playing for years to come. It's no wonder this pedal has become a favorite of discerning guitarists seeking that elusive "Echoplex magic."
