Description

The Coffee Shop Pedals London Fog Tape Delay is a compact yet powerful effects pedal that brings the warmth and character of vintage tape machines straight into your rig. Inspired by the sweet, creamy Earl Grey latte known as the London Fog, this feature packed delay pedal blends smooth tones with bold textures, just like its namesake drink blends bergamot tea with steamed milk. Designed for serious players, it offers forward, reverse or simultaneous delays, four distinct tape machine voicings, and full MIDI control, all housed in a sturdy cream coloured, all metal enclosure that nods to classic reel to reel units.

Tonally, the Coffee Shop Pedals London Fog Tape Delay can be as clean and crisp as a fresh cup of Earl Grey, or as worn and characterful as an over steeped brew. The four modes, New Tape, Old Tape, Vintage Tape and Dual Tape, each bring unique sonic flavours. Whether you're after subtle wow and flutter, tape saturation, degraded artefacts or wide stereo repeats, this pedal delivers. Drop the speed and it even drifts into lo fi, bit crush territory, a gritty, warped texture that sounds like the last sips of a day old latte.

Playing through the London Fog is both tactile and inspiring. The playback direction switch gives you total freedom, forward, reverse, or both at once, letting you conjure lush, swirling textures. Hold the tap footswitch for Bend Mode to glide the playback speed between two settings, creating pitch shifting swells that feel like the rise of steam in your cup.

The pedal’s controls are laid out simply but smartly. A Program knob selects the tape style; Mix balances wet and dry; Control offers wow, flutter, saturation or tape head subdivisions depending on mode. Repeats go from a single echo to endless loops. Playback Speed determines both tape degradation and delay range, while Time fine tunes within that range. The tap tempo/division footswitch handles quarter, dotted eighth or eighth note settings, with LED colours guiding you clearly.

Internally, two DSP engines run in parallel to allow natural trail spill over and forward/reverse layering. The compact, two PCB layout keeps it small yet audio focused. By combining high quality digital hardware with tape inspired algorithms, Coffee Shop Pedals has captured that vintage vibe without compromising performance.

Built tough in an all metal cream chassis, the pedal is designed to survive both road and studio. Its vintage style graphics are clear and stylish, echoing the look of classic tape machines without fuss. LED indicators white for tap tempo, colour coded for presets, and subdivided for bypass/division, make it straightforward to use during a set. The true bypass switching keeps your tone pure when the pedal is off. Inputs and outputs (TS jacks) are conveniently placed on the sides with a 9 VDC power input.

You get full MIDI control over all parameters, plus three on board presets and 20 via MIDI. Trails mean your echoes gracefully decay between changes instead of cutting off. For creative flair, Bend Mode adds swooping pitch bends on demand. With a delay range from 16 ms to 2660 ms, from chorus like shimmer to lengthy repeats, this is a versatile tool in any pedalboard.

A manufacturers warranty offers peace of mind, knowing your precious tone is supported should anything go wrong.

In summary, the Coffee Shop Pedals London Fog Tape Delay is a rich, versatile delay echo machine that is easy to dial in yet deep enough for experimentation. It pairs beautifully with the ritual of sipping your favourite drink: sometimes smooth and subtle, other times bold and expressive. Whether you're chasing classic tape warmth or exploring new delay textures, this pedal is an essential companion.
