The Wave combines Digital and Analogue technology to recreate three classic delay forms; the Binson Echorec, the Roland RE-201 and the Echoplex Ep-3. All delays can be used in combination with Belton Brick-Reverb. This is a stunning combination of effects in and of itself. However, what makes this Pedal unique is how modulation can be applied to either the first repeat, the second repeat or not at all.
Binson Echorec
The Binson Echorec plays one long repeat followed by shorter repeats.
Consider this two delay pedals series, the first Delay has no feedback option.
Feedback affects 1st Delay tap only, not the original signal.
Roland RE-201 Space Echo
Dual Repeats with subtle analogue distortion.
Consider this setting two delay pedals in parallel.
In this setting both Delay 1 and Delay 2 control one “tap” or repeat. Both have the same minimum and maximum delay time, When they are set to the same position only one repeat will be heard.
While off in the center position, the modulation switch can be set to either delay tap one or two.
Echoplex Ep-3
One playback signal adjustable by time and feedback.
In this setting Delay 2 sets the delay time and the modulation switch functions as on or off.
Modulation can add the slight fluctuations of a tape echo but can also give a nice vibe (vibrato) to your echoes.
Modulation
Optical modulation provides tape warble that is unique in its ability to be set on either the first repeat, second repeat or off completely via the modulation toggle switch
Reverb
Belton Brick-3 Reverb adds dark natural ambiance. The room size is adjustable by the Decay control.
Wash
The Was footswitch shorts the feedback knob bringing the signal into oscillation.
