Proving the multi-tap concept isn't just for delay effects, the Eventide UltraTap Multi-tap Effects Pedal also creates glitchy reverbs, undulating volume swells, and never-before-heard modulation effects. With little to no feedback, UltraTap is perfect for creating epic lead guitar tones that don't get blurry or washed out by delay trails. Crank up the feedback and you're in ambient bliss, with the ability to generate cascades of sound and swelling soundscapes you simply can't achieve with a typical delay pedal. And for maximum creative control, you can assign any combination of parameters to the expression pedal input for real-time manipulation. Factor in the Eventide Device Manager application for creating and saving your own custom presets, and you've got a lifetime of sonic textures to explore with the Eventide UltraTap Multi-tap Effects Pedal.

Utilizing UltraTap Pedal for Delay, Reverb and Tremolo Effects


Next-generation multi-tap effects, 40 years in the making





Given the launch of their SP2016 effects processor in 1981, Eventide is no stranger to multi-tap delay algorithms. Their Digiplex and MultiTap delay algorithms evolved into the H3000's UltraTap algorithm, which is now available both as a plug-in and as an algorithm for their acclaimed H9 processor. The UltraTap Multi-tap Effects Pedal packs all this creative potential into a guitarist-friendly stompbox with plenty of knobs and a pair of footswitches, equipping you with a studio-quality effects processor that's streamlined for the stage.





Up to 64 taps for delays, chorus, and reverb





The UltraTap Multi-tap Effects Pedal lets you configure up to 64 delay taps, and rhythmic delay trails are just the start. Use the inventive Slurm control to smear the taps together, which will then morph into reverb and even chorus as the taps converge. Taps can be modulated with LFO shapes or envelope shaping, creating incredibly dynamic effects that dance with the nuances of your playing. If you're the type of musician who finds inspiration in delay effects, Sweetwater is sure you'll have an album's worth of musical ideas after a few hours with the Eventide UltraTap.





Powerful processor for synths





While the UltraTap's stompbox format is perfect for guitarists, it's a natural fit for synthesists, too ? especially for creating a stereo soundscape from mono synths. To accommodate your keyboards and synth modules, the UltraTap's input can be switched from instrument level to line level for maximum fidelity and low-noise operation. It even supports MIDI control via the expression pedal input with a MIDI to TRS cable or converter box (not included). Whether you're using it live or in your studio, the Eventide UltraTap Multi-tap Effects Pedal opens up sonic vistas you won't conjure anywhere else.
