The Sound of Nostalgia
Inspired by the garbled audio that accompanies worn-out and poorly aged budget bin video tape, the T-120 Videotape Echo gives you exactly the type of sound that you're hearing in your head when you look at it.
Feed your guitar through the T-120, and the recorded playback will be the sound of low bandwidth tape being fed haphazardly through a magnetic read head by an uncalibrated, unbalanced feed mechanism.
The T-120 v2, introduced in June 2020, introduces soft switching and two new LFO parameters - 'Glide' & 'Randomize', accessible by holding the footswitch down while the effect is engaged and turning the 'Depth' & 'Speed' Knobs, respectively.
'Glide' controls how smooth the lfo waveform is, taking you from square at the lowest setting, to triangle at the highest.
'Randomize' controls the proportion of periodic (square/triangle) to randomized shapes present in the modulating waveform. At its lowest setting, the LFO will be entirely periodic. At the top setting, it will be entirely random. In between, varying mixtures of the two are available.
