Know before you buy
The Pico Rerun is a digital pedal designed to emulate the authentic sound, warmth, and saturation of vintage tape machines. It captures the characteristic imperfections and preamp grit of tape without the maintenance requirements of a mechanical unit.
The Flutter switch provides three distinct levels of tape modulation degradation. It simulates the pitch instability and wow-and-flutter effects found in aging tape, allowing you to dial in everything from subtle movement to more pronounced, warbly textures.
When tails bypass is enabled, the delay echoes will continue to ring out naturally after you turn the pedal off. If you prefer an immediate cut-off to your signal, you can disable this feature.
Yes, the pedal requires a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply. It has a power consumption of 100 mA, so ensure your power brick or adapter can provide at least that much current.
The Tap Tempo is integrated into the footswitch, allowing you to set your delay time precisely by tapping along to the beat. This makes it easy to sync your echoes to the tempo of your song without needing extra space for a dedicated tap switch.
