Analog signal path. Short head delay times between 108ms-520ms. Long head delay times between 215ms-1500ms.
The Replicator D’Luxe is a sum up from all the knowledge, T-Rex has built up over the years, making Tape delays.
It is a 2 head machine. The drive mechanism has been updated with a noiseless belt drive. A tape lock/release mechanism is added, to make the pinch wheel and tape last longer and electronics has been tuned to perfection.
Delay Level controls the level of delay(s). At the maximum setting, the delays will have approximately the same level as the dry signal (depending on the level of the saturation knob.
Feedback controls the amount of repetitions of the delay. When set to minimum only the first delay will be heard. At high settings the Replicator D'luxe's repeats will self oscillate.
Short: This push switch engages the tape head closest to the record head. It gives a delay time from 108ms to 520ms.
Saturation controls the recording level of the record head. Depending how strong the incoming signal is, the record head can be driven into saturation when this control is turned up. Lower settings will give you the cleanest/loudest effect signal with the least amount of noise. Higher settings will make the repeats more compressed, overdriven and fuzzy, with added harmonic content.
Long: This switch engages the head furthest away from the delay head. Gives a time of 213ms to 1 Sec.
Delay Time controls the speed of the motor and thereby the delay time. The Min/Max delay time available is short 108ms to 520ms- Long 215ms to 1 sec.
