UAFX Orion Tape Echo: Travel Light Years Beyond All Other Tape Delays

Emerging from the flagship Starlight Echo Station, the Universal Audio Orion Tape Echo pedal brings the magical hazy delay effects of vintage '70s Maestro Echoplex EP-III tape delays into a classy, compact package. Add authentic tape delay to your pedalboard and enjoy the rich, three-dimensional effects that surpass all other compact tape delay pedals.

Authentic Tape Delay for Your Pedalboard

Thanks to the award-winning algorithms from the Starlight Echo Station, the Orion Tape Echo delivers the lush and immersive tones of a thoroughly emulated vintage tape echo. This pedal captures the essence of the EP-III tape delay, providing unmatched tape delay effects in a compact form factor.

Enjoy Fat Vintage Preamp Tones

Perfect for boosting your echoes and adding punch to your entire sound, the Orion Tape Echo faithfully emulates the EP-III's legendary solid-state preamp. This preamp adds grit and attitude to your tone with one simple control, enhancing your sound with vintage warmth and character.

Experience Analog Bliss with Tape Type, Wow, and Flutter

  • Mint: Emulates a brand-new tape machine for pristine repeats.
