Exquisite echos with multi-tap delay
Inspired by classics like the Echoplex and Binson Echorec, the Eventide UltraTap takes the concept of tape-head echo to a whole new level. Up to 64 "virtual heads" create echoes in countless combinations, meaning the sounds this pedal can generate are something truly special. Musicians have a range of tools at their fingertips for shaping the signal, so they can effortlessly craft sounds that can be as simple as mono delays or stereo ping-pong echoes – or as complex as individually modulated and rhythmically intricate delay patterns. The UltraTap has five preset slots to save the user's creations, and with full stereo signal handling, this pedal isn't limited to guitar duties – the UltraTap is happy to help in the studio, and will pair beautifully with keyboards too.

Complete control over every echo
Despite its extraordinary capabilities, the Eventide UltraTap's control panel is wonderfully uncluttered, ensuring instant access to all of the key parameters. Its 64 freely configurable "virtual heads" give musicmakers an almost endless array of possibilities, so they're not just limited to creating simple echoes or even more complex, hypnotic rhythmic patterns – put simply, the UltraTap redefines the boundaries between delay, chorus, and reverb. And when it comes to modulating the signal or morphing the sound, the UltraTap offers further options, all of which can be freely assigned to an expression pedal. Eventide's Device Manager gives users complete control over the device's parameters – the pedal just has to be hooked up to a computer via USB. On top of all that, the deivce is fully MIDI compatible, making it easy to integrate into any existing MIDI setup.

Experiment, create, build, discover
The Eventide UltraTap is the perfect echo machine for everyone who sees a delay pedal as something more than just a workmanlike tool for rhythmic repeats – the UltraTap is for musicians who want making a new track to feel like embarking on a creative journey. The 64 tape heads can be freely configured and modulated, with a real wealth of modulation options, so there's plenty of territory to explore – enough to keep discovering new sounds for years to come. Plus, thanks to its comprehensive connectivity and stereo signal path, the UltraTap isn't just for guitar or bass pedalboards - it's equally at home with a wide range of line-level instruments.

About Eventide
The US manufacturer Eventide is one of the pioneers of digital audio technology. The company has existed since the early 1970s and began with developments in the broadcasting sector and digital delay effects. As early as 1974 they unveiled the H910, a pitch shifter revolutionary at the time. The H3000 (1986) was milestone in the field of digital effects and was very popular with professional musicians in recording studios and live performances. The following generations of this model were ever more powerful and culminated in the current flagship H9000. Since 2007, Eventide has also been developing compact pedals, primarily for guitarists and keyboard players. To this day, Eventide's algorithms are considered among the best on the market.
Don't delay – get a premium delay
Calling the Eventide UltraTap just another delay, one of many in this already overcrowded segment, wouldn't do justice to its potential. With up to 64 virtual tape heads and extensive options for further signal modulation, it creates spacious sounds that defy easy categorisation – however they're described, they are sure to spark the creativity of guitarists, bassists, and synth players alike. Flexible connectivity, the free editor, and full MIDI compatibility only serve to underline the professional standards that Eventide has adhered to in creating the UltraTap.
