Demedash Effects T-120 Videotape Echo Pedal V2

Inspired by the thought, “what if a Roland Tape echo sounded like a worn out wedding video from the early 90s?”. Part tape machine and part nostalgia engine, the T-120 is a modern classic that shouldn’t be underestimated.
You can set the knobs anywhere and get a great sound, or you can dive in deep and explore an expansive set of modulation controls that provide fertile ground for creativity and imagination.
It’s as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Either way, it sounds amazing.

Demedash Effects T-120 Videotape Echo Pedal V2 Controls

Top Row (Delay controls):

Time sets the length of delay from short slapback to long, grainy echo (~60ms to ~1200ms)
Mix varies the output between fully dry and fully wet (note: on 2018-early 2019 models, the dry level was constant and this control only affected the volume of the wet signal)
Intensity feeds the output of the delay line back into the input, controlling the level and duration of repeats. Go from no repeats at minimum, all the way up to self-oscillating repeats.

While all you need to dial in an amazing delay sound is the top row of knobs, it’s the bottom row of knobs that lets you find your delay sound.

Bottom Row (Modulation Controls):

Depth dictates how widely the LFO’s output makes the pitch of your delayed signal swing.
Speed controls the rate of the LFO.
Tape Quality allows you to determine how much bandwidth reduction to apply, scraping off the extremities of the echoes’ frequency response and reducing its fidelity.

Demedash Effects T-120 Videotape Echo Pedal V2 Features

The T-120 v2 features two new secondary settings not found on the v1: Glide (under Depth) and Randomize (under Speed). These are used in conjunction with the two original controls to dial in how the v2’s modulation engine manipulates your delay signal.

Randomize allows you to control the ratio of periodic to random modulation output by the LFO. Dial in a steady, rhythmic wave, completely random modulation, or a mix of the two anywhere in between.
Glide smooths out the transitions of the LFO output, letting you take a periodic LFO from fully square to fully triangular, or a random LFO from a series of instantaneous jumps to a slowly varying, warbling smear.

Combined, these new controls give you access to random computery bleeps and bloops, the smoothly varying sound of an uncalibrated tape-head mechanism, the random drift of a pinched tape, or the wide, even up and down drift of a warped record.
