Looks neat

Superrrr cool, looks like a raw vintage device, very unique tape delay on iOS! Love the GUI.

Looks like this is free on desktop btw

Damn they’ve been busy

Nice Now the Space Echo emulation and I'm set

Shame it's not universal, but I barely use my SE 2 to produce music anyways since its battery is shite, lol. Yeah, instabuy.

I loved watkat on desktop. Used it on many, many looping sessions for guitar.

I hope that's the next one. That way I would not have to buy the pedal.

VariSpeed oozes character… GAS-worthy

Great demo Doug, and nice to see you pulled in Tape Pro/Reelbus to push the vintage character even further. This thing does great on rhythm.

I realized after buying this that I’ve kinda lost interest in the more vintage delays. I guess I’m just a dual digital delay/rack mount delay guy, and that’s cool with me. 1984 baybee

Nothing wrong with a good digital delay. For me it depends on the job, sometimes there is a need for a pristine clean delay and sometimes I want to hear the electricity buzzing. And it happens more than often I combine different delays. Currently working on something with a combi of Dubstation 2 and K7D tape delay on the same sound.

Sounds great, krill synth providing the sound, midi from Zoa, Euclidean, midiGATEs

Not a proper video at all, just something unlisted that I did for a mate, comparing RE2 and Varispeed. Not exhaustive in any sense, but might be of use to somebody. I would have brought Echo B2 into the equation but there was no way he was buying two.

All these emulations sound much more lo-fi than any of my tape echoes… I would much prefer clean delay over them too.

Pretty sure I remember reading on the GSi website for VariSpeed that their version is actually cleaner than the original. Which tape echoes have you used? Maybe they are simply cleaner delays from a later time period?

The VariSpeed can sound pretty clean as long as u don't go wild with the feedback etc.

I have 2x Klemt Echolette NG51, A Copicat and Dynacord Super 65 & 76.

They are all earlier than the IC400 Varispeed Copicat this is based on. I maintain them very well though so that may well be a factor here.

Lucky you! Nice bits of vintage kit 👍 👍

True tape echo is an astonishingly hi-fi effect, any other sound is down to natural tape degradation/poor care and maintenance. The lo-fi movement has a lot to answer for!

The upcoming GS-201 (Roland Space Echo) seems to have a lot of tape quality control.

NeuM

Having not watched the video yet, will this do a reverse tape effect?

Damn this is a personal must-buy if it sounds half as good as the cheap boss pedal, which i reckon it will based on the current offerings, just lovely.

Looking forward to the sound on sound function.That was my favourite feature of the RE301 (that i miss so badly…)

Not the iOS version - that's the desktop version.

Don't think so

Ah, so it's confirmed that it has reduced features? I noticed in the AUM screenshot they shared it was missing a bunch of controls:
