VOCU VTE-1600 Compact Tape Echo (Fernandes/Hiwatt).
VOCU VTE-1600 Compact Tape Echo (Fernandes/Hiwatt).
Brand: VOCU
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
A slim-line Japanese tape delay that will fit on your pedalboard, similar to the Hiwatt tape echo. For sale in near mint condition - the best we've seen - working well (possibly barely used), will ship once we've serviced it.
Requires a 15v power supply (not included).
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 is excellent with minor signs of use/age.
For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number - please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.
This first demo is for the machine for sale, before servicing. The second one is of a previous Vocu we sold...

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
