Description
The warm sound of tape delay in a pedal Now you can get the unmistakable sound of an analog tape delay with the reliability and flexibility of a digital circuit.
We love analog tape delays! The raw, warm, and unique sound compliments the tone of electric guitars so well. The only problem is that tapes wear out, and analog delays can be inconsistent and difficult to dial in to the perfect sound for you. We set out to take the things we loved about classic delays and create a circuit that would be easy to use and sound killer too.
Don't buy your next pedal—build it! We worked hard and finally developed a delay that rivaled our favorite tape machines and priceless analog pedals. No cold, sterile repeats here—the dry signal path is all analog! With 30ms to 625ms of delay you can cover everything from rockabilly slapback to deep experimental soundscapes all in one great sounding package.
With knobs for time, repeats, mix, and tone it's easy to dial in subtle or more extreme delays. The tone knob gives you complete control over the sound—you'll never have to deal with the dark and muddy sounds that ruin other delay pedals.
It's more than just a schematic We include everything you need to build your new pedal:
- Top quality components from resistors to switch
- Road-worthy rugged metal enclosure with all holes pre-drilled
- Bare or powder coated white finish
- 3PDT breakout board for low noise
- Input, output, and power jacks rear mounted for easy cable routing
- True bypass switch
- Custom printed labels

Owner Insights
We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about StewMac Tape Op Delay Pedal Kit.
Build quality
-
The kit's wires are insufficient in length, requiring some builders to use alternative wire for longer connections, such as speaker wire for grounding switches.
Source
Setup and maintenance
-
Builders have noted the need to tent 1/8W resistors on the board, which wasn't designed for 1/4W resistors, complicating the build process.
Source
Comparisons
-
The StewMac Tape Op Delay kit's board is similar to PedalPCB's Cataclysm, and ultimately originates from the EQD Disaster Transport Jr.
Source
Value and pricing
-
Some users suggest that the StewMac kit's price premium isn't justified, recommending sourcing the PedalPCB board and components independently for better value.
Source
Mods and upgrades
-
Running the feedback signal through effects like vibrato, envelope filter, or fuzz can create unique, affected repeats.
Source
Features and functionality
-
The tone control is favored for producing darker repeats, enhancing the pedal's versatility.
