Universal Audio Orion Tape Echo Guitar Pedal

The Universal Audio Orion Tape Echo is a premium delay pedal, designed to deliver the rich, hazy textures of the legendary Maestro Echoplex EP-III tape delay. Whether you need warm analog repeats, dynamic modulation, or vintage preamp saturation, the Orion provides authentic tape echo tones with studio-grade clarity.

At its core, the Orion Tape Echo features three distinct tape machine modes, each capturing the essence of classic EP-III units:

• Mint - Pristine tape response with smooth, clear repeats.
• Worn - Aged tape character with subtle wow and flutter.
• Old - Heavily worn tape with gritty, modulated echoes.

The pedal includes a faithfully emulated EP-III solid-state preamp, ensuring fat, boosted tones that enhance sustain and punch. Players can toggle between true bypass and trails bypass, preserving signal integrity while allowing for natural decay when switching effects.

With stereo I/O, the Orion enables immersive delay effects, making it perfect for wide, spacious tones in live and studio settings. Built with Universal Audio’s renowned craftsmanship, this pedal is designed for years of rock-solid performance.
