T120 Videotape Echo Deluxe V2

Retro Delay Modulation

I added the T120v2 Deluxe to a battery powered single row pedalboard and it performs beautifully. I wanted echos with tapeish modulation without adding something like Chase Bliss Generation Loss II to the board, which would be overkill for a non-MIDI setup. Speaking of no MIDI/Clock, the Tap Tempo feature on this pedal is very welcome! Note: The T120v2 echos give a sweet stereo field, but they’re not discrete ping-pongs. Also $325 is steep for a pedal like this when there’s pedals with more advanced features in the $325-399 range. I took off 1 star for these two reasons.

great looking+sounding pedal

In a world of many, many great-looking pedals, the T120 is close to the top for its retro-videotape-box design. For those of us who love physical media and have a nostalgic affection for the 80s and 90s, this is a great choice. It also sounds great, capable of many useful delay effects and modulation that ranges from pretty to wonky. Oscillates nicely, and great control.

V-2 (Versatility 2?)

I know it (the V) stands for "Version" but it should be Versatility. At least in my brain. It does what 1 does, but so much more. None of the secondary functions are difficult to manage at all. Just hold the button and turn the knob. You can also do this... when it's off you can step and hold on the Tap switch and bring in that oscillation sound without actually turning it on. This is easily one of the greatest delay pedals I have ever played. I'll be soon doing a couple more reviews on some of these companies pedals here on S.S.nyc... Anyway... it's well worth it. Everything Demedash does is. Peace.
