Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay

One of the TOP 10 pedals of 2011!   - Guitar World

The Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay gives you two separate channels which can be used independently or together, synchronized with a single tap-tempo switch.  The two channels are identical, but with the second channel also having a Modulation control to add a Chorus effect to the repeats. Max delay time is one second for each channel.
 
Each channel can be used in either Manual or Tap modes, with controls for Manual Delay Time (in Manual mode), Repeats, Effect Level, and Tone, as well as Time Divisions for Tap mode.
 
There are also two internal switches.  One switch controls whether Output 2 is effected or dry, while the other switch sets repeats to be either trailing or non-trailing for Channel 2 after the effect is turned off.
 
The Dual Tap Delay is designed to be used without the need to read a manual… a refreshing change from most modern delay pedals.  The sounds from the hybrid analog/digital circuit are immediately gratifying, even on first use.  What is a "hybrid analog/digital" delay?  Basically, we used custom programmed digital IC's to produce functional delays with time divisions, but all the controls and related tone-shaping circuitry is analog.  Most companies don't do that because it costs more and is more complicated, but we thought you would appreciate the better sound that this method produces.

 

Power:  1 SPOT or other 9VDC regulated power supply (center pin negative)
Current Draw:  approx. 120mA  (NOTE: PedalPower users - make sure to use one of the higher mA rated outputs, not the standard 100mA max outputs. Make sure to check your power supply owner's manual for instructions and limitations... or just use a 1 SPOT.)
Dimensions:  9.1" x 5.1"  (231 x 130mm)

The First Review of the Dual Tap Delay, from Sweetwater!

Two Channels of Incredible Delays!

Love delay effects? Then you'll really love Visual Sound's incredible Dual Tap Delay pedal! This road-tough pedal gives you two independent footswitchable channels of delay effects that can be used independently or synced together. The Dual Tap Delay pedal lets you go all the way from subtle chorus to great-sounding delays to off-the-charts effects - all from one versatile delay stombox. Each channel includes a full set of controls, a Tap/Manual mode switch, and even a tone control. You can even customize your Dual Tap Delay by accessing additional internal switches!

Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay 2-channel Delay Pedal at a Glance:

Two channels to mix and match
You can use each of the Dual Tap Delay pedal's two channels individually, or switch to the Tap mode and sync them together. The range of great delay effects you get are downright astounding! The Dual Tap Delay makes an outstanding pedal for the stage, thanks to comprehensive controls that are easy to reach and adjust. Each channel has its own on/off switch, and a handy tap tempo switch lets you dial in the perfect delay times while you're in the moment.

Go from chorus to interstellar delays
Play with subtle effects or take your sound to it's limit - the Dual Tap Delay pedal will keep up with you. Visual Sound didn't skimp on the controls (a complete set on each of the Dual Tap Delay's channels), so this pedal's potential is only limited by your imagination - and curiosity. Channel 2 adds a modulation control, so you can dial up and apply great chorus effects to your sound. Take your delay effects from tastful to totally out of this world, with this 2-channel performer.

Total control over your delay effects
Visual Sound made sure to give you complete control over the Dual Tap Delay - onstage or in the studio. Easy-to-tweak knobs let you adjust modulation, time, repeats, and effect level on each channel. Per-channel Manual/Tap switches and tone controls give you even more control. Want to really "get under the hood?" You get access to switches inside the Dual Tap Delay that let you make the pedal's second output wet or dry. You can also choose between trailing or non-trailing repeats when the effect is switched off. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today and get your hands on this incredible delay pedal!

****************************************
NOTE: If you are confused due to what was said on videos from the 2011 winter NAMM show about being able to use a click track with the Dual Tap Delay, we completely understand.  In January 2011, we were almost ready to go into production following NAMM and thought we only had to work out some minor kinks in the click track converter circuit, which at that time was inside the Dual Tap Delay prototypes.  As it turned out, the minor kinks were major kinks that made us realize that the click track converter circuit would not work properly inside the pedal itself.  It had to be moved to an external box. Once that reality set in, we also decided to add a BPM generator to the external box at the request of Justin York of the band Paramore.  In the long run, we're glad that we had to move the click track converter to an external box because it will also help people who use ANY delay pedal with an external tap tempo jack to have the benefits of the Time Bandit.
