![]() ![]() Control over the delays affords numerous different effects. Digital delays are far more precise and clinical but some have specific parameters that emulate tape delay. The beauty of analog delays, as opposed to their digital counterparts, is that the delays come across as more distant and ‘spatial’ as they are less distinct and coloured. Famous makes included the Watkins Copicat, Roland Space Echo (RE201), Echoplex and so on. Tape delays have been around for a long time and are still used today. Complex delay times could be formed by adjusting the distances between the playback heads. ![]() Additionally, the delayed signal could then be fed back into the record heads to create further delays and decays. ![]() The length of tape, tape speed and switching the head positions determined the delay time. A signal was fed through the tape via the recording head and a series of playback heads provided the delays. ![]() The earliest form of delay involved using tape loops that would record and playback the signal. ![]()
