The SpaceTime Tap v2 is a seriously cool delay pedal for players who want rhythmic precision and tonal control. The MagTraB button feels amazing, and the active EQ lets you dial in a really clean, articulate echo. It's perfect for guitarists and bassists looking for a creative delay that doesn't muddy up their signal.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s magnetically actuated, offering a much quicker and more responsive feel – almost like a click rather than a full press. This allows for more nuanced tap tempo adjustments.
While the EQ is versatile, using it with a darker amp will likely still require some tweaking. The active EQ can really help brighten up a dull signal, but it won’t completely compensate for an inherently dark tone.
The 'Trails On' function is generally clean, even with high-output humbuckers, due to the pedal's well-designed circuitry. However, extremely noisy pickups might still exhibit a slight hiss.
