Vahlbruch has released the SpaceTime Tap V3, a delay pedal that replaces the V2 in a smaller enclosure, Delicious Audio reported on June 1, 20261. The maker lists the pedal at $230 in the US2.
The V3 keeps the V2's core layout of Time, Repeats and Mix-Level controls, adds a Mod knob for delay time modulation and a Tone toggle with bright, mellow and dark settings that reduce high frequencies2. Internal DIP switches select true bypass or buffered bypass and a kill-dry mode2. The maker says the pedal can be set to power up in either the on or bypass state2.
Vahlbruch describes the circuit as an analog dry path with a parallel digital path that generates only the echo signal, which is then blended back with the dry signal2. The maker rates maximum delay time at 660 ms, input impedance at 1M Ohms, output impedance at 1k Ohms and current draw at 60mA from an external regulated 9V supply, not included2. Dimensions are 115mm x 70mm x 48mm and weight is 240g2. The pedal uses the company's MagTraB magnetic footswitch switching and is handmade in Germany2.
The V2, still listed by the maker, has a larger 120mm x 100mm x 48mm enclosure, weighs 350g, and carries a US price of $2993. Its specifications list maximum delay time of 650 ms, output impedance of 100 Ohms and the same 60mA draw3. The V2 adds an active 3-band EQ, separate Rate and Depth knobs for echo modulation, and a subdivision toggle3. Delicious Audio reported that the V3 drops the V2's EQ, separate modulation knobs and subdivision toggle1.
"The V3 shrinks the footprint dramatically. Gone is the chunky enclosure of the V2."
