DELAY- NUX NDD-7 Tape Echo- ___NEW___ a take on the Roland Space Echo

NUX NDD-7 TAPE ECHO

$200.00 USD

This is the just released second take for NUX who still do the Tape Core DeLuxe that very much impressed me too. (see below) Both are quite simply a take on the the '74 Roland Space Echo, a multi head tape delay with a spring reverb. The new one is more comprehensive and is designed to be user friendly. The layout has treble, bass, time, repeat and select to control tape saturation,wow & flutter, level and reverb. Add to that a footswitch to control self oscillation. Finally an editor window makes editing and set up very easy.

CONCLUSION

When cloning something like a mechanical tape machine one can argue for and against how well it was done but in the end you have to decide if the unit sounds great or not. I have the Dunlop Echo-Plex and I once owned the tube/valve real one. EVH used the second generation transistor one and it was a big part of his sound. Even he too in later years used the Dunlop for two reasons. In context it does not sound noticeably different 

and it just plain sounds great. A big thanx to Dave Friedman who put me 

onto it. The NUX does indeed sound really good. For a digital 

unit it is unusually fat and rich sounding.

The NUX Tape Core Deluxe 

has it's extras programmable by your computer

and at $95.00 USD with free shipping on AliExpress

is worth considering.
