Description

The Anasounds Tape Preamp effects pedal recreates the warm, dynamic tones of vintage tape echo preamps while adding modern versatility. Inspired by the iconic 1970s tape echo circuits, it delivers the signature saturation and organic colouration loved by generations of musicians, all without the complexity of a tape machine.

This preamp pedal excels at capturing the character of vintage tape echoes, offering tones that range from a subtle, warm boost to gritty, broken console style textures. Its wide dynamic range ensures that every note is expressive, whether used as a clean boost, an overdrive, or a tone shaping preamp.

With intuitive controls, the Anasounds Tape Preamp lets players customise their sound effortlessly. The Louder knob adjusts both gain and volume, allowing smooth transitions from subtle boosts to rich, thick saturation. The Dynamic knob offers control over voltage, ranging from 3V to 27V, enabling everything from velvety, compressed tones to open, dynamic textures. The three position Bass toggle tailors low end response, offering deep and thick bass, balanced tones, or precise and present sounds.

The circuit is built with precision, featuring hand selected JFETs that are individually tested and matched for consistent performance. Its all analogue signal path ensures the natural and organic feel of a vintage preamp, while modern engineering enhances reliability and functionality.

Constructed with durability in mind, the Tape Preamp boasts a rugged metal enclosure and premium components, including a gold plated true bypass switch for pristine signal integrity. Top mounted jacks make it pedalboard friendly, and a standard 9V power supply powers its voltage adjustable circuit seamlessly.

For those who appreciate attention to detail, the pedal’s two tone plexiglass plate is laser engraved, complementing its robust and elegant design. Whether placed at the front of a signal chain as a tone enhancing boost or paired with a delay to evoke the warmth of classic tape echoes, the Anasounds Tape Preamp is a versatile tool for creative musicians.

With its mix of vintage inspiration and modern innovation, the Anasounds Tape Preamp stands out as a premium option for players seeking dynamic, expressive tones. It comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring peace of mind and long lasting performance.
