The Strymon EC-1 Single Head dTape Echo is a compact yet powerful tape echo that delivers the rich organic sound of a classic 60s unit. Built on Strymons acclaimed dTape technology it authentically recreates the warmth modulation and saturation of vintage tape delays complete with selectable tube-modeled preamp voices. Stereo operation MIDI control and a three-way record level switch provide deep flexibility while maintaining the unmistakable character of real tape echo. Designed for effortless integration into any setup the EC-1 features a high-impedance Class A JFET input for exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamics. Tap tempo expression pedal compatibility and 300 MIDI presets allow precise control over every detail from slapback delays to expansive modulated echoes. With premium 24-bit/96kHz audio conversion and a rugged lightweight chassis this pedal brings timeless tape echo tones into a modern road-ready format.

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Strymon is represented by Delay Pedals, Reverb Pedals and Pedal Power Supplies. Current listings include Lex Rotary, TimeLine Delay and Olivera Oil Can Delay. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

Delay

Creates one or more time-separated copies of the signal. Delay time sets their spacing, feedback determines how many repeats continue, and filtering, modulation or saturation decides whether successive echoes remain clean, darken, wobble or break apart.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
