Tone City Tape Machine v2025 Analogue/Digital Delay

Small, pedalboard-friendly effects units are always nice to have on hand, especially for an overcrowded signal chain that takes up a lot of real estate. The fine folks at Tone City continue to recognize and build on this, as evidenced by today’s pedal, the Tape Machine v2025 Analogue/Digital Delay. One big knob and two little ones may not seem like much, but they allow you to dial in some amazing echo sounds…

The Tape Machine Delay is a stunning part-analogue, part-digital delay pedal. In the upgraded version 2025, Tone City has upgraded the circuit to make it sound more like an analog delay, with a lowered noise floor. It is well-designed and keeps your dry signal crisp and clear by running through an analogue circuit, while the delay sounds are processed by a high-quality digital circuit. This gives you the best of both worlds, culminating in a beautifully clear and versatile delay. Tape Machine can go from a short slap-back sound to a long and ambient delay, and you can craft the perfect sound via the pedal’s 3 controls: Time, Level and Repeat. Allowing you to adjust the pace of the echoes, their volume and the amount of audible repeats respectively, these essential controls are all you need to quickly change up your delay sound on-the-fly.

Although Tape Machine is a mini-sized pedal, the controls are usable at almost any setting from 0 to 10, this make it very versatile and easy to use. The lineup of pedals from Tone City feature just about every effect genre you can think of, and are available from our friends at Osiamo Music Gear.
