Today, we’re excited to present to you all the third pedal in the dot9 Series from our friends at Eventide, following in the footsteps of the BlackHole Reverb and MicroPitch Delay. The UltraTap Delay is unique, delivering rhythmic delays, huge pad-like volume swells and expressive modulated effects, all in a compact form. Beginning with Eventide’s Digiplex and Multitap algorithms for its legendary SP2016 Processor, this pedal is 40 years in development, and the result is stunning.
UltraTap offers 12 parameter controls via 6 knobs (and a Secondary button), allowing you to journey from simple repeats to morphing delays to chorus, reverb and more. Five presets can be accessed directly from the pedal using the Active and Tap footswitches, with up to 127 in total stored under the hood and accessible via MIDI or the Eventide Device Manager application (EDM). These two footswitches allow full performance control of Active (momentary or latching),Tap Tempo and Preset selection and loading
On the rear panel, the multi-function Exp jack allows for the connection of an expression pedal, an external single Aux switch or a triple Aux switch for easy preset changing (up/down/load) as well as MIDI over TRS capabilities. Multiple bypass options are available – Buffered, Relay, DSP+FX or Kill Dry. The rear panel USB jack provides a connection to a computer for use with EDM, software updates, and MIDI over USB control. The Guitar/Line Level switch allows level-matching with guitars, synths, FX loops or DAW interfaces. The rugged, gig-ready silver UltraTap pedal also features mono/stereo ins and outs.
For all the ins and outs, functions and sounds this gem produces, we’ve got a couple of demos for you below. We used a guitar for the first one, to show off how it works, and had some fun with the second one, using a Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano and a Lottie Canto Colour Palette Electric Kalimba. UltraTap can be used in a multitude of applications, with many instruments and on stages throughout the world. We love these nostalgic, vintage-inspired but modern devices Eventide keeps creating, and this one is an experimenter’s dream machine. Be sure to head to their website for all the info and how to order one for yourself, and don’t forget to grab your headphones and get over to YouTube for our demos!
