WEM Copicat Boost Is Based on A Classic Tape Echo Preamp | Tone Report Demo

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

Tbh, I didn't even know WEM still existed as a company! Hell yeah!

[watkinscopicat]

the cool thing about the old copicat is that the preamp is always on, even when you turn off the echo, so you have a constant preamp boost going into your amp, this one sounds great 👍

Given the hype and popularity of ‘tape echo preamp’ type boosts lately, I’m really surprised at how little they’re asking for this.

No clue where you buy the HW version, but sounds like more of a collector draw. That thing sounds fantastic
You're the man, Andy

[nahfm]

Oh man if only someone would make a copikat delay 😢 last one we had was the alter ego so long ago

[johngorgis]

Watkins copicat is the most underated tape delay we hear alot about the ep3 and re201 but not much about theese

[archstanton]

Sounds great, I’d buy it for the nice understated looks.

[omniboy]

I love the Copicat. My favorite delay.

[FlagadaJohn]

What's the first tune Andy plays? Sounds really good!

[Da_Publick]

Boss did something similar with one of their pedals, took the preamps from the Space Echo, and the original Chorus. The WEM sounds better than either setting of the Boss, IMO.

Looks and sounds great. Does this mean I can send my tube WEM Copicat to Doncaster to get it refurbished correctly at Please?

[northernmonkey]

If i didn't have a deco I'd definitely get this

[humplucker]

Are they also bringing their amps back to production?

[marcraygun]

Always have my copycat in front of my vox escort lead 50, its a classic 70s British combination

My favourit guitar player Brian Robbo Robertson in Thin Lizzy used two different models of this. He used them as preamps aswell as echoes. But i don’t like the sound of these amps used here. I think the distortion sounds raw and like over compressed. Also there is so much plinky plonky and finger picking. I’d liked to hear some real power chords on a great sounding distorted amp like a Marshall. The Fuzz just sounds awful. It’s like a broken speaker from a car.

[JackPeloquin]

Interesting… my fav, Brian Robertson uses the original.

Or so a diagram says.

I dig it.

[michielburger]

Sneaking in a little WWRY, aren’t we? 😂

[JR_Taylor]

but its the valve copicat cats that everyone wants to use for boost

[pensive_]

Sounds absolutely nothing like my actual wem.

Is that so people who do "Black face" won't be offended?.
