UltraTap
The Eventide UltraTap is a versatile multi-tap delay pedal designed for electric guitar, capable of creating rhythmic delays, glitchy reverbs, and modulation effects. With controls for Delay, Feedback, Spread, Slurm, and Chop, it allows for a wide range of sounds, from staccato leads to ambient pads. Features include MIDI capability, multiple bypass options, and an expression pedal input. It's a digital delay pedal with a focus on studio use or with synth gear, rather than live use with guitar or drum machines.
What guitarists say...
Customers appreciated the UltraTap's unique sound capabilities, including the ability to sync to MIDI clock. However, some users found the controls complex, especially for live use, and the lack of battery operation was a drawback for some. Some users had issues with reliability, reporting the pedal failing after a period of use. While the sound quality was generally praised, some reviewers felt it was not as versatile as they had hoped for a digital delay, and that the tone controls were not as precise as needed. The Eventide UltraTap is seen as great for studio use, but has limitations for live use.
