This pedal will not work with a 9V battery, and requires a 9V DC power supply (not included).

The Tone City Tape Machine Delay is a stunning part-analogue, part-digital delay pedal. This well-designed stompbox keeps your dry signal crisp and clear by running through an analogue circuit, while the delay sounds are processed by a high-quality digital circuit. This gives you the best of both worlds, culminating in a beautifully clear and versatile delay.

Simple Setup

Although the Tape Machine can go from a short slap-back sound to a long and ambient delay, you can craft the perfect sound via the pedal’s 3 controls – time, level and repeat. Allowing you to adjust the pace of the echoes, their volume and the amount of audible repeats respectively, these essential controls are all you need to quickly change up your delay sound on-the-fly. 

With a lot of smaller mini-sized pedals, their controls are not always usable from 0 to 10. The Tape Machine breaks this rule and is usable at almost any setting, making it very versatile and easy to use if you’re new to the world of effects.

Small & Portable

All Tone City pedals are built in a micro pedal format, which not only helps to save precious real-estate on your pedalboard, but also keeps your bank balance healthy thanks to their amazingly low price. But don’t worry, you don’t lose any quality when going down to this small size or cost.

The controls all use high-quality components, and with true bypass switching, your signal will stay as clean and pure as possible.

Tone City

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Tone City is represented by Overdrive Pedals, Distortion Pedals and Pedal Power Supplies. Current listings include Pedalboard Kit, Fuxx Fuzz and All Spark Boost. 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.

Delay Pedals

Delay pedals repeat the input after a set time, from a short slapback to long ambient trails. Feedback controls how many repeats continue; filtering, modulation, saturation and mix shape their tone and prominence. Tap tempo can keep rhythmic delays aligned with a song, while presets and MIDI help when several timings are needed. Analogue, tape-style and digital designs respond differently to transients and overload. Check maximum delay time, spillover, stereo routing, trails and headroom before choosing a model for the rest of the board.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Battery Powered

Can operate from an internal replaceable battery, usually with different available current and running time from an external supply. Battery chemistry, access and automatic disconnection through the input socket affect practical runtime and storage. High-current digital processing generally shortens battery life more sharply than a simple analogue circuit.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.
