Offering controls for delay, volume, and sustain, the Gauss Pedal provides quick and easy adjustments to the effect, while its mod switch allows you to convert your signal to warm tape echo sounds. Its compact and roadworthy enclosure makes it perfect for the road, while the top-mounted jacks minimise its footprint on your pedalboard. Also equipped with true bypass to retain your original signal, the TC Electronic Gauss Tape Echo is the perfect choice for players wanting to infuse their performance with a vintage-sounding echo.

Super-Saturated Tape Echo

TC Electronic’s Gauss Pedal is designed to capture the most iconic and revered type of delay, the ones delivered by tape echo machines of yesteryear. These machines are known for their warm, fat tones, but in the current era are hard to find, are temperamental, and expensive. The Gauss Tape Echo realistically emulates those legendary vintage tones without braking the bank, and has the added benefit of playing well with your entire rig. Its simple control layout ensures any player can deliver iconic delays, with a mod switch letting you convert your signal into beautifully warm tape echo sounds.

Compact & Roadorthy Design

Along with its incredible tonal capabilities, the Gauss Tape Echo Pedal features a durable metal chassis designed to protect the internal components against moisture and the day-to-day life of a gigging musician. The pedal is also equipped with top-mounted jack ports, maximising pedalboard space and allowing players to fit more pedals on their rig. Each control knob is designed with rugged edges, allowing players to control the settings with their foot during performances, while the intuitive control layout offers a user-friendly operation perfect for beginners.
