The PLUSH Replay Tube Delay is a tube digital delay pedal designed to emulate the warmth and musicality of a tape delay without the maintenance that real tape machines demand1. Its distinguishing feature is a true high-voltage power supply that provides 300 volts to a genuine tube audio stage, and it provides up to one second of delay time1.
The controls
The pedal includes controls for delay time, mix, wow and flutter, repeats, and a fidelity control1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Delay time | Sets the length of the echo, up to one second1 |
| Mix | Blends the delayed signal with the dry signal1 |
| Wow and flutter | Adds the pitch wobble associated with tape machines1 |
| Repeats | Sets how many times the echo repeats1 |
| Fidelity | Tailors the repeats from digitally clear to tape-like smoothness1 |
The wow and flutter and Fidelity controls are where the Replay leans into its tape-delay brief: wow and flutter recreates the gentle pitch instability of a tape transport, while the Fidelity control lets a player dial the echoes back from crisp digital repeats toward the softened, darkened character of worn tape1.
Power and placement
The Replay runs on 9V DC, center negative, and draws 500mA1. That current draw is well beyond what most daisy-chain outputs supply, so it needs its own adequate power supply output.
With a 500mA draw1, the Replay Tube Delay needs a power supply output that can deliver that current; a standard low-current delay output will not run it.
The maker recommends using the pedal in an amp's effects loop for best performance1. That placement puts the delay after the amp's preamp and drive stages, which is a common home for a delay of this kind.

Questions
What is the maximum delay time of the PLUSH Replay Tube Delay?
The pedal provides up to one second of delay time, according to the maker's product information. That covers the short slapback and doubling territory most players use for tape-style echoes, though it is shorter than many purely digital delays that reach several seconds.
Is the PLUSH Replay Tube Delay analog?
The pedal is listed as analog in circuit type, but it is described as a tube digital delay: a digital delay engine paired with a genuine tube audio stage. A true high-voltage power supply provides 300 volts to that tube stage, which is where the maker says the tape-like warmth comes from.
How much current does the PLUSH Replay Tube Delay draw?
The pedal draws 500mA. That is far more than a typical compact delay, so it needs its own adequate power supply rather than sharing a low-current output.
What power polarity does the PLUSH Replay need?
It runs on 9V DC, center negative, the standard polarity used by most pedal power supplies. Because of its 500mA current draw, plan your power supply accordingly.
Should the PLUSH Replay go in the effects loop?
Yes. The maker recommends using the pedal in an amp's effects loop for best performance, which suits a delay of this kind since it can sit after the amp's preamp section rather than pushing the front end.
What does the Fidelity knob do?
The Fidelity control tailors the repeats from digitally clear to tape-like smoothness. At one end the echoes stay crisp and defined; rolled the other way they soften and darken the way worn tape does.
