Troy Van Leeuwen

Featured in this May 5, 2019 interview on the website for Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World’s Greatest Guitarists.

He’s also sure to never be far away from an epic delay. “I always have a tape echo – or at the very least an analog delay – on my board,” Van Leeuwen notes. “Delay is a thing I can always find a use for, whether it’s a super-tight slap or a ping-pong long delay. I have a Hi-Watt tape echo that warbles in the best way, but it’s so fragile I can only use it in the studio. But the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo is tough enough, you can take it on the road. [QOTSA guitarist Dean Fertita] uses it live, and our sound guy Hutch even put it on the drum mix when he was working for Dead Weather.” (...) According to Van Leeuwen, the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo is both the most improved, and yet truest, revision of the revered vintage Echoplex tape delay. “Fulltone makes a lot of great pedals,” he says, “but none beats this brand new, yet totally old school, take on an Echoplex. It sounds like an Echoplex did fresh out of the box – or better.”
