VOCU VTE-1600 Compact Tape Echo (Fernandes/Hiwatt).
Rare slim-line Japanese tape delay that will fit on your pedalboard, similar to the Hiwatt tape echo.
For sale in excellent condition - one of the best we've seen - serviced by our tech & working well (possibly barely used). Complete with original Japanese manual.
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).
POWER: It takes a 15v centre positive power supply (not included - enquire, we may have something suitable).
CONDITION: excellent with only 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.

If not a new language, then at least a very challenging, old dialect that will take me some time to assimilate. I've been waiting a long time for the challenge. Thank you @soundgasltd, she's a beaut..and noboy prepares and packs like you fine folks.
