Tube Tape Echo

There is nothing funnier than the makers of this new wave of digital and chip-based delays claiming to "sound like a tape echo." One after another they pop out the same old digital and bucket-brigade delays with a few new bells and whistles that supposedly "emulate the warble and tape head saturation of a tape echo" ...Bull$#^%. That only flies with someone who has never played a good tape echo. For those of us who know and care, there's no substitute... so settle for an approximation if you must, there's nothing wrong with that... but please spare me the rhetoric.

Audio samples are available on the left. Some video samples are available in the Fulltone video gallery.

The TTE Uses Only Fulltone-Branded Tubes

TTE Tube Trio

We now use only the excellent Fulltone branded 12AX7's for V1 and v2 position and recommend the Fulltone 12AU7 for v3 "Erase function" in the TTE. BTW, you cannot use any other ERASE Tube but ours, the JJ, or Shughuang 12AU7 or the unit will not erase fully and will hiss. We sell the Fulltone 12AX7 & !2AU7 in a convenient tested/matched trio for the for lowest noise and completely transparent tone. You will get shrill highs or excessive mids with most any other current production tubes when used in v1 & v2 positions in your TTE.
