SLAP (KARAOKE)
Slap echo is a distinctive vocal echo eect heard in classic Rock n Roll, Rockabilly, and other 'classic' genres, hence
its popularity in Karaoke!

DELAY (2 SEC)
Basic delay algorithm with up to two seconds delay time.

Parameter 2: Delay Time
DELAY MOD
The modulated delay is enhanced by an LFO (low frequency oscillator) that produces a chorusing eect on the
delay repeats. This is a great delay for guitar and instrument passages that need that “special something.”

TAPE
In the days before digital, tape echoes were created using a special tape recorder in which the magnetic recording
tape was looped, with closely-spaced recording and playback heads. The delay eect was created by the tape
moving in the space between the record and playback heads – while delay time was adjusted by changing the
speed of the tape loop. Although very musical-sounding, wow and flutter combined with a significant loss of high
frequencies, and to some extent also low frequencies, are all elements commonly associated with tape echo.
