Tapescape Magnetic Ambience Generator Pedal

Bleak District Electric Tapescape

Tapescape from Bleak District Electric is a tape delay that focuses on the degradation, idiosyncrasies, and the breakdown of mechanical devices to create beautiful new sounds. Unlike many digital tape delays, the Tapescape doesn't attempt to emulate any historical artifacts and tries to create its own sound world that encourages the sounds of time, wear, and destruction. Sculpt your sound with dedicated Wow and Flutter controls along with a Rate knob for the Flutter that can be controlled via an expression pedal. A Type switch changes the shape of the flutter from Sine to Random for different modulation effects.

Time and Feedback are your standard delay controls with delay times up to 1100ms, with the option to control that Time via the expression pedal. Switch on the LPF to change the EQ of your delay and use the Dry kill switch to focus solely on your delayline to craft a lush ambience. Use the Swell control and dedicated footswitch to add extra waves of feedback to just-shy self-oscillation. For an absolute celebration of tape, the Tapescape from Bleak District Electric is the pedal you need.
