Jauernig Ricochet - Simulated Tape Echo
The T. Jauernig Ricochet is a delightfully quirky digital delay that transports your tone into the unpredictable realm of vintage tape echoes. Powered by the venerable PT2399 chip, this pedal delivers up to 600ms of lush, analog-inspired delay - but that's just the beginning of its sonic sorcery. What sets the Ricochet apart is its ingenious "degradation" circuit, which randomly modulates the delay repeats in a way that mimics the natural tape flutter and wow of old-school tape machines. As the delays progress, they take on a hypnotic, almost sentient quality, wobbling and warbling in captivating ways that no digital delay can replicate. It's like having a tape echo unit with a mind of its own, constantly surprising you with its unpredictable and ever-evolving textures. This unique blend of digital precision and organic imperfection has made the Ricochet a secret weapon for adventurous guitarists seeking to add an extra dimension of character and movement to their playing. Rumor has it that avant-garde icon Nels Cline has been spotted using the Ricochet to conjure up his mind-bending sonic landscapes. If you're after a delay that can transport you to another time and place, the T. Jauernig Ricochet is a must-try.
