T-Rex Replica Delay Pedal

[youenjoy00myself]

Santana uses this pedal.

[jimihendrix19999]

Wenn ich nur mal im Lotto gewinnen könnte das wäre schön!!!

[funforalgernon]

Stephen Malkmus approved.

[mrhumpydumpyable]

Is this little beauty discontinued?

[BenjaminMJ]

David Gilmour from Pink Floyd has used this pedal.

[themaninme]

sounds digital. sorry...

i dont know why it costs so much money. you can get the same digital analog like tones for half the price with tech 21 boost dla..

[merlozeppelin]

hi, why don't you test delay pedals with gain on? I need a delay unit that won't mess with definition when playing fast leads. Actually, what I need is a delay stays in the back when you are playing fast, and goes up front when you slow down or stop. is there such a thing? thanks a lot

[DuskY1991]

@merlozeppelin I can only think of a production technique - it requires the use of a delay and a compressor after it. This way, when you slow down, the compressor has the time to release and this will let the delay come up more.

I can't think of anything else, sorry. ;-)

[MrRockinFrog]

Can this pedal do slapback?

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@MrRockinFrog for i dont know but for 400 bucks it better

[adamw98]

man great review and you did some AMAZING riffs by the way in this demo i must add

[LEOJATT]

How did you get that sound at 5:58 and again at 7:24??

[Howardsend88]

@LEOJATT good question, sound out of this world at these times

[pikeasaurusrex]

I spent several hours with the T-Rex Replica & Malekko 616 analog delay & quite frankly I was extremely underwhelmed by the Replica. The tap tempo feature is nice as is the subdivisions feature but that's where the fun ends. The Malekko sounded far more organic and the repeats decay as they should. The modulation adds a fantastic dimension to the pedal.

Do yourself a favour and take try out the Malekko 616. As an added bonus it costs less than 1/2 of the Replica.

[FigureEightTV]

nice demo guys, ill be buying this pedal from you all soon

[TheRealRayJ]

"I'm playing on a G&L Legacy into a 65 Amps SoHo... BITCH!"

[zedrein18]

This is increasingly a digital world, we all have to accept this fact or go forth and die a sad death.

[JayPee90]

Is this pedal good for acoustic guitars or better with electrics?

[thebigdiegowski]

The best thing is that its Gilmour aproved

[screwdriva]

could you guys also do a demo on the plush replay delay? i know you guys have it on your website, so i was wondering if you could put up a video for it as well

[meanghost18]

dont think these are really worth £319.00 .for what you can get out there today for around the same price you can buy the empress superdealay..eventide timefactor..or the pigtronix echolution which offer  tons more opitions and delay sounds and setting not forgetting the ray of switches they all have and smarter looking..personally in my view this should only sell for £150.00

[dankeewolnir4042]

breeeeaaaathhhh..... breath in the aiiirrrr..... dooonnttt be afraid to care...

[cosmogang]

I just wish there was modulation.

[johnny123372]

@cosmogang that's what the "brown" switch is for

[AndyFerreiraMusic]

I bought this pedal yesterday, after coparing it to many other digital delays. It's BY FAR the cone with clearest repeats and pristine hi-fi delay sounds. It's even outrageous how good tis pedal is. Can't even believe that I spent 400 bucks on a pedal... =D

[danceofthedruids]

Great delay but non-existent runaway echo capability which was disappointing ....

[TheCrystalyne]

It is expensive but sounds like its nearly worth the money.

[nathapol1992]

it's awesome but it's so expensive

[TheCrystalyne]

This is great sounding, but boy its expensive,,,

[TheMorgan2512]

what is the song at 0:08?

[bma473]

" Shine on you crazy diamond" by Pink Floyd bro.

[stratthead]

I watched the whole thing but didn't catch what the headroom is. Delay sounds fine, it's just delay. Heck a Boss DD-2 is still good (and warm for digital) and do most of this, plus it has the hold function. But what about headroom? Is it adjustable for loops?

[topperspoppers]

would this be suitable for a high gain lead sound

more a fusion style than metal

[skarbu]

@topperspoppers

I think if Batio uses this....it really is :)

[pdbordelon]

I dont get the "advantage" to a dry signal out and a wet signal out. The Satriana Time Machine is the same way...what a shame there isnt 2 stereo outs to run through 2 amps for lush separation. I would think most running in stereo would much prefer stereo delay to this setup. Sounds good otherwise but I wouldnt buy it.

[sofficino200486]

Is this analog?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

No, it's digital but made to sound warm like an analog delay.

[theShowStopper321]

@ProGuitarShopDemos How are the digital to analog imitators like this and the Guyatone tube echo? Are they as warm and natural?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@theShowStopper321 - All digital pedals have analog circuitry. The signal coming from your guitar is analog, and your amp needs an analog signal at it's input. Between these two points the signal is converted to digital, processed, and then converted back to analog and sent to your amp. The quality of the analog circuit + the quality of the digital/analog converters are what determines how the pedal sounds. In the case of T-Rex, the quality is top-shelf on all counts. Just use your ears!

-PGS

[m0nkw]

is 6:10 - 6:22 from an actual song? Beautiful playing throughout, and a great sounding pedal.

[gaedp86]

we're going wrong by cream!

[matthew909]

i have a problem, im thinking about getting this pedal but i have no idea how to power it. my pedals are boss bd-2, ibanez ts9, boss GE7, crybaby wah, BBE boosta grande, and a Dunlop univibe. all of them require a 9v supply except for the univibe which uses 18v, who the fuck will i power all my pedals and this one? :S :|

[javiceres]

Does this pedal oscillate or make pitch shifting effecs like an analog delay?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

No, the repeats stay clean.

[javiceres]

Oh thaks from a daily watcher :)

please, I-d love to know if you turn the tempo knob it does pitch shift

Thanks again

[JazzMac36251]

how does this stack up against the H&K Replex as far as tape delay sounds? Any opinions?

[MrJaapKooiman]

hmm, rather buy a line 6 DL4, al this is in it and more + cheaper.

[samjbrowne]

And won't sound anywhere near as good.

[dlite95]

ahh I WANT .... either this or the Carl Martin delayla XL any suggestions?

[sexyberger]

I own the TRex Replica and the Carl Martin Echotone... Carl Martin XL is awesome (I played one live two weeks ago) but just a baby compared to the Echotone... in my own opinion if you want Carl Martin - go the Echotone (worth the pedal-board real estate). I still run the Replica because it's gig-hardy and Warm.

Highly recommended also is the Zcat Delay/Hold pedal... over one second analogue delay and tap tempo... hand built in Europe and just a pocket sized delight....

regards

sexyberger

[macdaddylorenzo]

Thanks for all your info! I found the pgs demo of the Malekko Ekko 616 to be amazing . . . do you think it sounds as godo as the T-Rex? I personally prefer the demo sound of the 616 to all others, and it's pretty inexpensive, but I never tried it versus the more expensive ones like the T-Rex or Echotone . . . any opinions? Thanks!

[javiceres]

I don't see the point of this delay ¿24 bits to make it warm sounding? I don't get it. As for the filter knob you can filter the bass or trebble you want with say a EH Memory Man Hazarai or a Boss DD-20 (appart of modulation, looping...). I have a Carl Martin Echotone, the tap tempo is faulty (what a great pitty) but the sound... that's a Brilliant tape simulation, just watch the PGS demo. Appart from the high roll off I don't see any tape quality in this Replica hype

[maarcel12]

uff..... here in germany cost this effect 499€ :/ ..

wow

but it´s an amazing effect! i buy it maybe :b

[krawallbutz]

wo kaufst du denn??? schau mal nach kostet im internet so um die 230€!!!viel spaß!!!

[nickveekens]

Oh and for those who (still) haven't figured out the subdivision button! You have to press the button and then set a tempo with the tap switch. It doens't work on its own.

So NO your pedal isn't broken. :-)

[Ilovemyfender2]

$400? This pedal is amazing but...are you serious?

[realguitarist07]

It is worth it. Tube Tape Echos cost over $1000. I would buy this if I had the money.

[alexyiaimsn]

i want this

[Tafflan]

how does he play the guitar at 7:20 - 7:25?? sounds really cool

[Ozrace]

It's a volume swell using the guitars volume control.

[julieail]

[ilovemyfender1]

Get a spring chicken instead of the holy grail. imo

[brandoyo08]

i.want.one.now.

[dalehauskins]

As a professional Los Angeles lead-rhythm working guitarist,I've found the T-Rex Replica is the best delay units I've owned;and have used it for many tracking sessions and tours for sure...

Also engineer/creator Mr.Sebastian Jensen,and the people at T-Rex Engineering are truly very kind to working musicians throughout the world;and indeed very helpful.

[DreekeDisaster]

That's why they didn't want to send two Mudhoneys for free to the Mudhoney guitar players?

[supergeek48]

how does this pedal compare with the MXR and BOSS delay pedals?

[oscarstegland]

This is leagues ahead of MXR and Boss. Under the cover this is a TC Electronics pedal. T-Rex make most of TC Electronics pedals and then TC Electronic put another outer shell on it. The T-Rex comes about 50 dollars cheaper.

[nickmulhall]

oh man... 7:20 makes me want one SOOOO bad!!!!!!!!

[513Lonestar]

The T-Rex Replica looks just right for me.

Too bad itt's a little expensive.

[dianovden]

yeah,he played on G&L Legacy,great guitar :)

[angus4life]

please does anyone knows which delay pedal is good for leads?most pedals i've tried alterated the sound when i was playing with distortion(lack of definition)

thanks for your advices!

[blackandpink17]

if youre running your guitar into the pedal and then into the amp, then no delay pedal is going to sound good with disortion, because what youre doing is distorting all of the echos that are going on. If you put your delay in an effects loop, the distortion is echoed, and you get a cleaner sound

[bloodySunday77]

That's correct, but don't forget that effect loops are a relatively recent addition to guitar amps. Echos sounded just fine when used with old amps by Page, Hendrix etc. that didn't have an effects loop.

[topicrass]

corret too

but remember that the delays in those days were tape delayso like the echoplex... and those stuff were noise was a terrible thing... so you will never find songs form this guys when they used extremely delays settings... just like echoverb kinda sounds...

put the Edge with delays with jimmis amps... and that will be horible becaus the edge has extreme dealys settings...

[stevros48]

they would probably have their fuzz boxes going before the delay or echo unit im guessing but yes it wouldnt explain the natural amp distortion that they cranked out

[sexyberger]

blackandpink17 has a good point on the fx loop... but... i own this Replica, i run it in a chain between my g-tar and amp, with od and such... this is the bees knees... i also run and would highly recommend the Boss DD7 (don't be scared by digital stuff), and if you have nothing better to do with your money purchase the Carl Martin Echotone - live on stage this thing leaves other delays in it's wake.

sexyberger

[Thehorny]

I'm in love :)

[retxed1234]

can someone tell me more about DL4..is it really good pedas..coz i CANT afford Fulltone TTE...whew

[amarr1]

the Dl4 is a cool pedal, but I would necessarily recommend it for 'normal' sounds. I have one and I use the Lo Res, Digital w/ Mod, and Tape Echo.

[alexdldude]

hey, can anybody help me out here?

I'm searching for a real Pink Floyd-ish sound delay, does anyone have suggestions?

(Let's say there is no pricelimit.)

Thanks

[robosextoid]

fulltone makes an actual, real tape echo. but it's like 800 street price.

[DylanHendixFloyd]

David Gilmore uses this, so I would go with this.

[AnarSeville]

Yeh, I would go with AnaolMan mod of Delux Memory MAn. The EBst analog delay in the World ! I got T-Rex as weel. Very good and small. Delux Memory Man is different pedal. A Must Have !

[sunnyday19791979]

i really dont know what delay pedal i should buy, i am thinking of the line 6 dl4, but i heard its giving lots of problems to lots of people, that was my first option, right now i have no idea.

[topicrass]

well first what are you looking for....

is u are looking for a analog delay pedal nothing like the memory man deluxe form EH or if you are not loaded the MXR analog delay...

if you are looking for insane daleay esperiments de Timefactor or the Dl4... or perhaps the Giga delay those are great delay pedals,,,

or if you have a lot of money buy a Tube echoplex from Maestro ..the father of deleays..

[takeittothemall]

I have had my dl4 for about four years. for the first two years it was perfect. there's so much that you can do with it. there's the flexibility of the three presets, stereo amplifier and expression pedal capabilities, the looper, it's true bypass, and sound quality is great. the only problem mine has had is that the footswitches completely suck. they stick frequently and I expect someday they will give out altogether. hopefull not for a few more years. other than though, it's a great pedal.

[amateurlife]

I've had my Boss DD-20 Giga ($220) for a good while now. It's straight forward delay, but it's VERY reliable and tweakable, has four easily accessible presets, ten modes (like digital, analog, tape, pan, smooth, etc), and different pedal configurations to make it a great live pedal (just buy the FS-5U with it). I love the tap tempo subdivisions where you tap quarter notes and it comes out dotted eighths (or like 8 other diff options). It sounds awesome too.

[amarr1]

it sounds good but all the modes sounded the same to me

[augfive]

some pedals have a FEATURE that aloows the delay signal to reamin afetr the pedal switches off... some have it, some dont

check out t TC electronics for awesome warm sound for digital delay

[Halo3sniper41306]

lol

[Rendell05]

Problem: Delay cuts out instantly when pedal is turned off. Just thought everyone should know.

[sexyberger]

that's 'cause you turned the effect off :p

[iagobroxado]

that doesnt happen with other delay-reverb pedals

[sexyberger]

my carl martin and my boss both cut out instantly... is this 'cause i plug them between the g-tar and amp (not the fx loop)???

happy to be wrong

sexyberger

[amarr1]

love the name

[vdu7x]

That's because it is true bypass. For example, the Digitech hardwire has a true bypass mode which cuts off the effect immediately and a non truebypass mode which doesn't

[jocheluich]

Time factor from eventide has a feature that lets the "trail" of the delay stays a little more when you shut it off... is superb

[topicrass]

the line 6 has it too

[emulsyjna]

It is nice feature which, like topicrass wrote, line6 has it too (I play with Line6 ToneCore EchoPark for few years). But does this T-Rex pedal has? I'm serious interested in this pedal.

[KM5347]

that riff sounds kinda diablo 1 ish haha.

[leftystrat62]

Does anyone know if this uses a 9 or 12v power supply?

[sigarlaki]

12v and power supply included.

[Activethrasher00]

hmm. i like the sound quality of this pedal but it would be a better review if we could hear it in an effects loop with some overdrive. I don't think most people really solo this clean.

[sexyberger]

pedal preference aside, the sound quality of your film clips is awseome...

and it played a part in my decision to buy a Replica...

thanx ProGuitarShopDemos

[HedgeHogRon]

I have ordered two of these units from different authorized retailers and BOTH units subdivision features failed to work. I have followed this video exactly, and checked on T-Rex website and the manual, and the subdivision doesn't change at all. I am either incredibly unlucky, or this unit has a serious quality control problem. Seems plenty of others agree.

[arturo3164]

what´s the deiference between an echo and a delay pedal?

[tragictravistie]

i think of echo as a subdivision of delay, which doesnt accurately replecate, the original signal. usually 'echo' pedals have hi-cut on the repeats.

[rafa1969]

can the replica ossilate? thanks

[fatblckchick]

I hear a lot of people say that the subdivision doesn't work?? what up wit dat??

[KM5347]

"what up wit dat??"

lmfao

[stratogio]

i am a great gilmour fan i use boss dd20, a boss dd2 (gilmour use dd2 on the division bell album and in his cornish pedalboard,cornish TES is a doss dd2 modded)

but my favourite delay is T.rex Replica delay replica it's magic(gilmour use it in on an island tour in 2006!

[eggplant511]

hmmm.. what what do you think,

should i get this delay,

or something else

i want something pink floydy or a bit trippy.

if theirs a better delay that you think i should have a look at please tell me.

[Simto]

This pedal is amazing, when i bought it i just played and fooled around with it for three hours.

Sounds insanely good!

[MagellanOfBass]

THANKS FOR THIS

Could you review the Moog MF-105 MoogerFooger Bass MuRF? Heard so many good things about it... But I can't find any good demo!

[DOOBAGE69]

this sounds like a really nice delay pedal. I was interested in this after i found Dave Kilminster was using it in Roger Waters touring group for the "Time" solo (probably my favorite song/solo), and seeing it live was spot on to the recording.

I'm looking for a delay, and want one that can do creamy, smooth delays like David Gilmour, but can get whacky and slap backy like Tom Morello. Which would suit me best?: T-Rex Replica, Boss DD-2/3 or MXR Carbon Copy?

[thehunjo]

David Gilmour used the Replica on the 2006 tour

[DOOBAGE69]

I read that recently. Gilmour's delays are among my favorite. So far the T-Rex and the EHX Deluxe Memory Man sound the best to me, and I think I'm going to go with those for my delay sounds.

[fungus789]

Thanks! Could you review the Diamond Memory Lane delay pedal? I've heard many good things about it

[gopre29]

Got mine 2 days ago, As Great as it sounds in this Vid. It sounds Even better in person.

WOW!

[joshreavis]

This is the delay John Mayer has on his board currently. Sick!

[rodrigozamo]

I have a boss DD3 yet it's nothing compared to this.. love it... how much can this pedal cost?

[marker873]

$400

[bloodySunday77]

The converter inside is a Burr-Brown one, if I am not mistaken (of the well known audiophile quality components brand). And the pedal is very expensive, but very simple to use and a favourite of players like Santana, Gary Moore etc.

[akrem3]

It's a cool delay, but I still prefer my Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai - I love it to death! It's filter knob works better than the Replica's brown switch IMO it's much more useful.

[martinisbutik]

My DD-6 sucks compared to this.

[timmonsisbest]

that's because it's digital

[laudennn]

the trex replica is digatal too, genius

[superspit]

I think i know where you're coming from....good pedal, but geesh...they shouldn't call it a replica!!!..LOL!...oh yeah..T-Rex was massively into midi......ya know!

[mijmar67]

great demo.

[ArchitectofLaw]

you > dan augosto

[prompen3]

Yeah Dan "pothead" augost isnt a good reviewer

"mkay lets take look of whats in this uber cool cardboard box, look at the pretty colors"

[paperbea]

That brown switch is AMAZING!

[Relayer1968]

friggin awesome!!!
