The Tape Core Deluxe by NUX is a contemporary stomp box that offers classic Tape Echo tone. It features 3 reproduction heads yielding 7 different combinations of delay sounds. The natural sound, decay, and modulation are created with NUX's TS/AC Technology. The pedal is designed to echo the vision of professional users and is equipped with an Infinite Feedback feature that allows for classic Infinite Feedback Oscillation effects popularized by artists like Pink Floyd and The Steve Miller Band.
