Wem copicat

Any fans? They seem way cheaper than a space echo so I'm now looking at these to get some real tape delay in my life!

They are cool but only having preset delay times annoyed me

Ohh really, I didn't know that.

Unless I was missing something the one my friend briefly owned had a button for each of the three heads and no way of changing the delay time so you were just limited to where those heads were set

You be wanting the wem varispeed copicat then which you can adjust the tape speed.  Very good units.  I have one kicking around somewhere

I used to have an ancient Mk.2 from the early sixties which was my only delay for years and years. It had a valve pre-amp and sounded absolutely great, albeit rather hissy. BUT, there is an obvious 'thump' as the tape edit crosses the playback head and unless already mentioned you have a (tranny) Varispeed model, you are stuck with the presets. 
To be honest I was never really bothered about how limited it was until I went digital and had so much more scope. 
They do look cool and I regret selling mine a bit, but they aren't as good as a Space Echo.

Thanks. Good to know:)

dude, i used to have a copycat, although 1 of the 1st types, certainly the 1 that made it all popular, and u can find loads on the 2nd hand market, especially the transistor versions from the 70's for £150 or so. they are noisy, bit clunky, and limited!
get a space echo 201 or 301 they are the mutts!
