REPLICA

Hello (hello, hello…)
and congratulations on your purchase of Replica, the world’s best guitar delay
pedal from T-Rex Engineering.
Replica packs more incredible-sounding echo and delay effects into a single box
than any other pedal out there. From the warm analogue echo of early Floyd to
the precision-engineered delays of the digital studio, this box does it all. And then
some.
Read this manual carefully to thoroughly acquaint yourself with your new Replica.
The better you know it, the more it will give you in return.

Take control of your delay
The main controls on your Replica pedal are the ECHO, REPEAT, TEMPO and
LEVEL knobs, while the BROWN and SUBDIVISION buttons provide further tone
and tempo options. An ingenious TAP TEMPO button lets you set your tempo on
the fly, without missing a beat.
ECHO determines the mix of direct and delayed signal. Turn it down for a subtler
natural effect, and crank it up for doubling or freaky long delay effects.
The REPEAT knob lets you control the number of times a sound is repeated –
from just once to a virtual infinity.
TEMPO determines the speed of your echo – which can range from 12 to 1500
milliseconds. TIP: to experiment, try tuning in a classic 50s slap-back sound by
combining a fast tempo with a low repeat value.

LEVEL lets you adjust the overall output of your Replica.
Use the BROWN button to add a high cut filter – and recreate those great tape-
echo effects of the Golden Age of rock ‘n’ roll.
The SUBDIVISION button gives you a triplet delay effect. Press the button, and
then set your tempo using the TEMPO button or by tapping it in (see below). To
return to a straight delay rhythm, press the button again, and reset your tempo.
The TAP TEMPO button in the bottom-right corner of your Replica lets you set
the tempo of your delay while you play. Tap at least 3 times to the beat, and
you’re off and running.

Ins and outs
Replica’s input and output jacks offer lots of setup options and are designed to
protect the integrity of your sound. Even when your delay is switched off, true
hardwire bypass makes sure your signal stays pure all the way to the amp.
Besides the standard input and output jacks on your Replica, the pedal features a
DIRECT output and a MIDI jack.
The DIRECT output lets you send a clean signal (with no echo) to a tuner, or even
to another amplifier for cool stereo effects. The MIDI jack (input only) lets you
control your delay’s tempo (MIDI CTL no. 20) and on/off (MIDI CTL no. 21) via an
external midi controller.
Your Replica can be used in an effects loop, but note that input signals above 2
dBu can cause distortion.
