Key Features
Iconic Echoplex sound that fits perfectly with the modern pedalboard. The J Rockett APE Analog Preamp Experiment Tape Machine Recreation Pedal has a one of a kind design while successfully recreating the analogue section of the famous vintage tape delays. To recognise the sound possibilities listen to the legends of rock music. From Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin to Brian May of Queen, an array of rock greats found their sound with tape echo preamps.
Stand out from the musical crowd with experimental tones. Sure, this pedal is great for a classic preamp sound but introduce your favourite digital delay into the loop and the fun propels. The APE is a crazy pedal that has so many hidden features you'll be discovering exciting new sounds for a long time to come. Whether you're switching up the wet/dry level with the mix feature or exercising the intensity of the gain with Rec control, each note will resonate as your own signature style.

A professional sound at your feet. The pedal mirrors original tape echo preamps by running internally at 22.5-volts, providing crisp, warmth and clarity. You can expect a raw and authentic feel because the system set up also impacts your tone in the same way magnetic tape heads would. Using the send and return jacks on the APE allows you to add a delay pedal into the mix and the APE takes over some of the controls.
Andy Summers, Neil Young, and Eddie Van Halen are some of the legendary guitarists that have used an echo preamp... and that's just to name a few. Warm repeats, intense delays and striking textures can add much-needed depth to any sound. So, are you ready to join these rock icons by adding a timeless effect to your pedalboard?
