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.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
