Most beautiful looking space echo pedal out there. This pedal has a lot to offer.

The strongest points :
It makes all those little mechanical tape engine noises like there is a real fysical engine inside it. Very nice modeling job ! The most spacey on the market.
It has a preamp with separate saturation control.
The twist and especially the warp knobs are great. The warp knob is the reason I prefer this over the RE-2 (only twist function). It holds and expands the sound in a beautiful way without getting too loud.
There is also a similar warp knob on the DD6 and DD8, but it works a lot better with the 'dirty' Space Echo.
The 4th tape head also offers usefull extra sounds.
The other reverb modes (hall, ..) and 2s delay option give more ambient possibilities.

The repeats don't hug the direct sound that much as other pedals (NUX, GALAXY, ...). The preamp has some presence in it that I don't like enough to use it on its own. But it fits the effect sound perfectly.
The digital preamp can't compete with my Belle Epoche analog pre-amp, wich is the most juicy delay preamp in a pedal on the market.
Very important for me : the expression mode. A little easier to use compared to the RE-2 (no pulling out plugs, remembering number 10). But it has the same not so userfriendly set-up rules where you have to arrange every knob again. The knobs you set for heel down give not the starting sound for toe down. Very annoying. Here NUX Tape Echo is a lot more userfriendly and is organised for three single parameters.


If you just want the basic space echo sound, there are cheaper options like the Re2 or the Nux tape echo. But for the whole package and that marvellous warp, this is a good option with the most spacey repeats ever. If you don't like that more separate effect sound, the Volante, Nux or definitely the new UAFX Galaxy pedal can be a better choice. For the warp algorythm Boss is unbeatable.
