About Astro Repeater
It’s a fact: an authentic tape delay and vibey spring reverb are essentials in the modern guitarist’s tonal arsenal. Bring the two together and you’re set to experience the stuff dreams are made of.
Enter Astro Repeater, a premium Tape Echo and Spring Reverb inspired by the legendary Roland® Space Echo RE-201. Originally released in 1974, the Space Echo was immediately coveted by studio-heads and tone-smiths for its unique character and sheer versatility when it comes to adding an otherworldly texture to any source. With Astro Repeater, the very same flexibility and tonal-stylings are primed-and-ready to transport your RIG to another dimension!
When it comes to Astro Repeater’s control arsenal, no stone’s left unturned! First up, switch seamlessly between 7 distinct “Head Configurations” to dial in the perfect foundation for your tape delay effect. For must-have tape saturation, there’s a “Tape Sensitivity” control letting you drive your input for the perfect response. Next, take complete command of all delay parameters with dedicated controls for “Echo Time”, “Feedback” and “Timing Subdivisions” to configure your delay exactly how you need it. Looking for the unmistakable sound of a worn tape? We’ve thought of that, courtesy of a handy “Tape Wear” switch. For expert-level tone shaping, there’s even independent “Bass” and “Treble” controls to surgically refine the tonality of your Wet signal. Rounding out the control arsenal, there’s master “Echo”, “Reverb” and “Wet Mix” controls, plus a nod to the infamous Roland® RE-501 Chorus Echo with a dedicated “Chorus” – and companion, “Width” – parameter to immediately take your tone interstellar!
