Hughes & Kettner Replex Tube-Driven Tape Delay,

Description

Very popular delay and reverb simulator, carefully crafted to nail the tone of the classic Echoplex Tube Analog Tape Delay. Converging traditional tube circuitry and modern digital technology, the Replex replicates the sound and response of a ‘60s tape echo with awesome accuracy. And it handles and operates far more conveniently and reliably than the original. Case in point, the VINTAGE FACTOR knob in the Delay section. Spin this knob to take a trip through time. Go back 40 years, or stop anywhere along the way. Set to the far left, it delivers uncolored digital delay. As the knob is turned clockwise, it delivers more and more of the three-dimensional “wow, flutter and spin” that made vintage tape delays so desirable. Other specs include: the original sound of tube-driven vintage tape delays; choice of single-head or dual-head delays or vintage tube reverb; true bypass setting leaves source signal completely unaltered; rugged metal housing; delay time variable between 10 and 900 ms. This unit is everything good about an Echoplex (tone) without any of the negatives (reliability and noise).
