Nux Tape Core Editor 

Nothing is going to replace the boss RE-20. both the boss RE-20 space echo stomp and the nux tape core are their own separate entities, and special for different reasons. 👌

I don't think there is

The hardware has tap tempo function.

you could replace the foot switch with some sort of momentary switch on a delay pedal that has trails (continues until fades), or hard stop. Lots of modelling amps have the ability. Check out the Electro-Harmonix "Memory" man, boy, toy series of pedals, also line 6 delays. This type of feature is available on larger more expensive pedals in most cases, so it's probably a lot cheaper to DIY by modding a cheap/used pedal with a momentary switch button.

ZombiePantsYT Thanks man! By now I already figured out that I can make a loop pedal with both momentary and latch switches and have the delay always on plugged in. Doing that way I keep my pedal intact and can also control other l effects with the momentary switch If I hadn't come with that ideia before, your comment would certainly trigger the same ideia! So thanks a lot!

If I build the loop to have the loop output always on and bypass the input signal while off, I believe it's possible to use even analog effects since they will be always on... I will try it! If I get it to work I'll send a demo of it

The dd-20 can do this. You just need an external momentary switch. You can hook it up to the expression jack and assign the function to on/off.

redworm03 good! thank you man!

It has Reverb! Just use the Editor AND you can select which of the seven positions you want the Reverb on.

Vigilius60 I read elsewhere that via tap tempo ( and the editor?) it can get 1500ms, it's just limited from the dial on the pedal. As information from Nux is so vague it's hard to know.

I think I'm being dense here and need to re view the video. I think I understand that you can download the editor off the Nux site and plug your device into the pedal. This then gives you access to parameters not available off the pedal itself. Are these then saved? Just in the tone lock? Just to the whole pedal? Or can you adjust and save each of the 7 delay types on the big knob?

Thanks and you are right: information from NUX are really too vague!

Hello Philip, we're sorry to make you confused. Cause the real Tape Echo delay time is less than 600ms, we set the pedal initial status as close as a real Tape Echo machine. For the Tape Core Editor, you could save all the parameter into the pedal. For example, you could adjust different retro head combinations with different notes into the 7 delay type presets and stored. Even you exit the Core Editor, it's stored and you could use it as you want.

After you update the firmware and use the Core Editor to engage "smart tap tempo" (auto tap), you could set the maximum delay time to 1500ms.(That's the maximum memory of Tape Core dlx.) But if you tweak the real time knob, the maximum will be less than 600ms, the reason is we want to make the special pitch shift effect as the real Tape Echo while you tweak the time knob instantly to minimum.

Same problem and the firmware says device not detected Let me know if you solved it

@@davepowell4740 i gave up XD ;)

yes, if you send the output of the track and pass through the pedal and insert again on your audio interface.

Actually no! You can save the settings made via software into the pedal.

On my mid-2015 Mac mini running OS Monterey ver. 12.5.1, I am able to save all settings into the pedal. (Power up the pedal connected via USB before starting the Editor software. To save the revised settings click the software SAVE button near the Selector. Then name the file and save that version to whatever folder on your computer. The same settings -- all 7 sets of them, one for each position on the software's SELECTOR switch -- will also be saved on the pedal. N.B. You can't just save one SELECTOR setting at a time. When finished, disconnect the pedal from the USB cable and close the Editor.) Note that, at least in my case, the revised settings do not appear to be alterable with the real knobs once the pedal is on my pedalboard and no longer connected to the computer. Easily changed back to factory settings with the Editor's RESET button, but it takes some back and forth between pedalboard and computer - saved as a number of presets -- for me to fine tune the settings.

@@sirchtheworld Wait, you can't change the time mix and repeats with the knobs after? That doesn't seem right.?

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever figure this out?

Scott Kaszyk not yet...only worked with other newer os

I spent hours trying to figure this, I bet you're on a mac? I'm on a mac but I downloaded the Win s/w, extracted the .bin and the mac DFU s/w can read this, everything works after that.

You need to turn off the device and unplug EVERYTHING. Then hold down the main footswitch, POWER IT UP, and make sure its connected to the PC, then in the fireware program upload the file and it should recognize the device

@@Clive007 Thanks for the info; sorted the problem after multiple attempts last night. Great nugget of wisdom! 🙌🙌🙌
