Features and functionality

  • The T-Rex Reptile 2 lacks self-oscillation capability, which some users find essential for creative delay effects.

    Source
  • The input gain knob, if set below 85%, causes the output to drop below unity volume, limiting its practical use.

    Source
  • Modulation and flutter controls are present, allowing for nuanced tape delay emulation, though user satisfaction varies.

    Source
  • The modulation in version two is controlled by a width knob, with modulation always on and adjustable from left (off) to right (more modulation).

    Source

Build quality

  • The black knobs in the center are small and difficult to see, affecting ease of use during performance adjustments.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Users looking for alternatives consider the Strymon El Capistan and XVive W3 Memory Analog Delay for their tape delay characteristics.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Owners find the Reptile V1 easier to use for live settings due to its modulation engageable via foot switch, functioning as a two-in-one pedal.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Enthusiasts note that T-Rex pedals, once expensive, are now more affordable, making it feasible to build brand-specific boards for under $100 per pedal.

    Source

User experience

  • Users appreciate the Reptile's advanced modulated tape delay sound, noting it was ahead of its time and comparing it favorably to the T-Rex Replica.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • There is a need for a buffer when using multiple T-Rex pedals, as they are mostly true bypass, potentially requiring additional setup with a TC Bonafide buffer.

Critic Reviews

T-Rex Reptile 2 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

T-Rex Reptile 2 impresses as a superb delay pedal, ideal for both gigging and recording. Praised for its build quality and great sound, it offers a range of functions, including tap tempo and up to one second of delay time. While mini pots may lack stability, the overall design is sturdy. Its modulation controls, like speed and width, provide character-rich echoes. The tap tempo switch adds versatility, making it stage-ready. However, it falls short of full analogue delays in modulation extent. Despite this, T-Rex delivers classic tones with modern usability, making it a pro-standard choice.

Kim: “Chris gave it to me. Lately, with this album, I’ve noticed there’s a lot more use of the delay pedal. I became fond of it when writing By Crooked Steps and then Worse Dreams. So, now I’m using it on some of our older songs live with selected parts of solos like Slaves & Bulldozers and Black Hole Sun.”
