This video, via Synth City, is a demo of the new T-Rex Replicator Eurorack tape delay.
The Replicator module is T-Rex Engineering´s take on the ultimate tape echo unit, complete with a motor, magnetic heads and a tape cartridge.
Features:
- All analog echoes and signal path
- Delay time controlled by a digitally controlled motor
- Three echo modes, modulation of the echo and tap tempo
- CV inputs for controlling time/feedback – get super spacious, yet ultra cool sounds
- Kill-dry switch for parallel processing (mixer)
- Housed in a compact Eurorack module (44HP)
Here’s another demo, via Dualtrx:
Pricing and Availability
The T-Rex Replicator Eurorack module is available with a street price of $899. See the T-Rex site for more info.
Whoa that’s asspensive!!!
good sound but very asspensive 🙁
had a chance to play with this one as well. it was fun and sounded cool. is expensive but its proper tape delay. i would like a straight up cassette recorder with cv playback control. quality felt ok to me not as good as doepfer feel but again its a unique module and sounds cool. i really hope for more cassette based eurorack.
that is rediculous as hell. sounds great though. i guess thats about the going price for full on tape delays?e
Price is perfect. A hipster’s wet dream.
takes one to know one.
Makes me want a eurorack now. Lol
I was looking into one of these but I like a really long delay time, so the el capistan won out.
Would be great if they made this standalone too – rather than just Eurorack. A quality tape delay based around cassettes could be awesome in any recording studio setup
It’s also available as a standalone effect:

Note: €849.00 Euro equals $912.51 US Dollar
Needs clock in and or out.
the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo is the best tape delay i’ve ever heard, also expensive but when you start working with it you see why, the sound is euphoric, its just so organic delicious and real. but yeah all tape delays are pricey but it’s awesome they’re still being made and mostly by smaller companies.
Better get a Roland Space Echo 301. Yes, it will cost you a few dollars more, but it is far more interesting and versatile, the sounds are like 1 million times more rich and complex, this seems to be rather limited and get boring rather soon.
v cool, but drop the eurorack format, and half the price an I’m in. `Otherwise ill just make it my self, sweet product
