Description

The Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 is a delay pedal built for guitarists and bass players who value tone, control, and durability. This updated version of the much loved original takes everything that made the first pedal so useful and flexible, and adds even more ways to shape and manipulate your sound. At its core, the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 is a delay pedal that blends analogue warmth with digital precision. Your dry signal remains completely analogue, no latency, no compromise, while the echo is processed digitally and mixed back in, giving you deep, rich repeats that respond naturally to your playing.

Sonically, the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 is a warm and expansive delay that can go from tight, rhythmic repeats to lush, decaying echoes. The modulation section adds movement and shimmer to the repeats, with adjustable "Rate" and "Depth" controls for extra texture. Whether you're after crisp rhythmic patterns, dreamy ambience, or classic tape style self oscillation, the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 delivers with clarity and character.

Playing the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 feels natural and inspiring. It responds well to dynamics and sits beautifully in the mix. The MagTraB footswitches are smooth and silent underfoot, making live use a joy without the usual mechanical clicks. Every adjustment feels immediate and intuitive, whether you're setting tempos on the fly or tweaking tone.

The Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 gives players plenty of control over their echoes. A tap tempo footswitch offers five different subdivisions, quarter, eighth, dotted eighth, eighth triplets, and quarter triplets, ideal for locking in with the groove. An active 3 band EQ lets you shape the echoed signal with precision, offering control over bass, mids, and treble. An internal jumper lets you place the EQ before or after the feedback loop, affecting how the echoes evolve with each repeat.

Under the hood, it includes a number of customisation options via internal switches: choose between true or buffered bypass, enable trails with buffered bypass, or activate kill dry mode if you're running it in a parallel effects loop. These features give players the flexibility to configure the pedal to suit different rigs and setups.

At the heart of the pedal is the Vahlbruch exclusive MagTraB switching system. It uses magnetic sensors to detect footswitch presses, no mechanical contacts, no wear and tear. The result is ultra reliable switching that’s virtually silent and designed to last for millions of cycles.

Built in a sturdy all metal enclosure, the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 is designed to withstand life on the road or in the studio. It’s compact, solid, and designed with practical pedalboard integration in mind. Input and DC sockets are placed for easy access and tidy cabling, helping keep your board neat and signal chain clean.

Visually, the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 is clean and professional. The layout is easy to navigate and designed to be gig friendly, with clearly marked controls and power indicators that show you the pedal is active at a glance, even in dim lighting.

Tone purists will also appreciate the switchable true bypass or buffered bypass options, allowing for signal integrity whether the pedal is engaged or not. Buffered bypass mode includes optional “spill over” to let echoes fade naturally after you’ve switched the pedal off.

All power and audio connections are smartly positioned for pedalboard friendly use, and the Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 runs on standard 9V DC (centre negative). It’s made in Germany to high standards and built to be a long term part of any serious rig.

The Vahlbruch SpaceTime Tap V2 stands out as a delay pedal that offers depth, character, and flexibility. It sounds superb, feels great to use, and gives players detailed control over how their echoes behave. With its unique switching technology, versatile tonal shaping, and thoughtful design, it’s a smart choice for guitarists and bass players who want an echo pedal that sounds great and works with them, not against them.
