For the players who need more than a digital emulation – the T-Rex Replicator D'Luxe is a true analogue tape echo, and one of the few to incorporate modern tap tempo. This is arguably the pinnacle of delay for your pedalboard, handmade in Denmark by the incredible T-Rex team.

Key Features

  • Multiple Playback-heads for true analog tape echoes
  • One Record head and two playback heads. Short Head for slap back delay. Long head for longer modern delays, or combine both heads for a semi Delay-Room experience
  • Delay time Short head =108 – 520mS. Delay time long head = 215 – 1000 mS
  • Tap tempo for Long Head and half the time for the short head
  • True Bypass switching with a gold plated relay
  • New motor suspension with belt drive, for reduced noise operation
  • New Tape deck lock-mechanics to protect pinch roller and tape for longer life span
  • All analog signal path from input to output
  • Power supply with exchangeable blades 90-240 Volt, and an extra tape cartridge included

Sound

The T-Rex Replicator D'Luxe's unmistakeable vintage sound of tape can be set to three distinct modes: short head, long head and a mix of the two. The short head gives you a playful, versatile slapback which you'll rely on during most of your playing for that crisp edge. The long head is where you get into more atmospheric territory, mixing in shorter notes and letting the Replicator do the work. Combining the two gives you an ethereal landscape to mould using the feedback and saturation dials.

Delay Pedals

Delay records the incoming signal for a chosen interval and repeats it after the original note. Feedback returns repeats to the delay line, while tone, filtering, modulation and saturation determine whether echoes remain clear, darken progressively, wobble like tape or degrade like analogue bucket-brigade circuits. Delay time and rhythmic subdivisions govern the spacing and musical pattern of the repeats.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

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.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
