Description
Vocu stands for Vivid Output and Capable Unit – catchy! Cool and compact little tape delay – perfect for a (large) pedalboard). Sounds good and works well – uses the same loops as the Roland Space echo range – a full-featured tape echo that’s a little larger than a paperback book. Instagram demo with our SH-7 below.
Will accept mic, instrument or line level inputs, has three delay modes – 150-600ms, 500-1600ms and a combination of both short and long heads. Has mix/wet-only switch (Cue/Mix Direct) for use as an effects send, controls for Master Level, Echo Time, Repeat and Echo Level as well as Input Level. The Flutter control engages an off-centre plastic wheel against the pinch roller to introduce extra warble and sense of a machine less well-maintained (the lever will rest at the mid point giving a sensible level of flutter, or can be pushed harder against the pinch roller for momentary bouts of extra warbliness). It takes a 15v centre positive power supply (not included – enquire, we may have something suitable).
Condition
