T-120 V2 Videotape Echo

Description

Inspired by the garbled audio that accompanies worn-out and poorly aged budget bin video tape, the T-120 Videotape Echo gives you exactly the type of sound that you're hearing in your head when you look at it. Feed your guitar through the T-120, and the recorded playback will be the sound of low bandwidth tape being fed haphazardly through a magnetic read head by an uncalibrated, unbalanced feed mechanism.
Demedash has reinvented Delay. From Misaligned tape heads to stretched VHS tape, Using a unique brand of Modulation, Demedash has resurrected the Videotape Cassette recorder. Although the knobs on the face of the T120 are standard fare, it?s the knobs that you can?t see that recreate cassettes. When the footswitch is held down ?Depth & Speed? become ?Glide & Randomize.?
Glide:
Affects the modulation by changing the wave form. At Zero it exists as a square wave. As you turn clockwise the plateaus shrink until nearly saw toothed at 10.
Randomize:
Affects how closely a random deviates from the glide.
TIME:
Sets the duration of time before each recorded note is played back. Setting this at a minimum allows you to use the Depth and Speed knob to dial in a chorus effect. Setting this at maximum will give approximately 1.5 seconds of delay.
Echo:
Mixes the wet & dry signals. Fully counter-clockwise only the effected signal is present. At half, both affected & unaffected signals are equal in volume.
Depth:
Increases the amount of pitch shifting vibrato induced in the recorded signal, giving the effect of an uncalibrated, broken VCR.
Intensity
: Sets the number of re-recordings of each echo. Set high enough, self-oscillation will occur. To stop oscillation once it has begun, simply turn ?intensity? down for a few seconds to let the repeats die away.
Tape Quality:
Raises or lowers the bandwidth of the recording. At low settings, each repeated echo becomes more degraded than the last.
Speed
: Sets the speed of the pitch shifting vibrato in the recorded signal. Low settings give an uncalibrated wavering sound, while higher settings give the impression that the tape is being eaten.
