Tap Tempo
Completely passive external tap tempo footswitch controller for delay and modulation pedals with 1/4-inch TRS or TS jack connectivity.
The Saturnworks Tap Tempo is straightforward, completely passive external footswitch designed to provide tap tempo control for delay pedals, modulation effects, and other time-based processors that support external tap tempo input. Many modern effects pedals include a tap tempo jack but don't come with a dedicated footswitch, forcing players to bend down and tap the pedal's onboard button during performances. This simple utility pedal solves that problem by giving you hands-free tap tempo control right on your pedalboard.
Pedal features a single momentary footswitch connected to a 1/4-inch output jack, typically wired for TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectivity, though TS (tip-sleeve) versions are available depending on your pedal's requirements. When you tap the footswitch in rhythm, it sends the timing information to your delay or modulation effect, allowing you to synchronize effect speed with the tempo of the song you're playing. This is essential for live performance where tempos may vary or for studio work where precise synchronization is critical.
Being completely passive, the Tap Tempo requires absolutely no power - it's simply a high-quality momentary switch in a durable enclosure with professional cable connection. This makes it one of the most reliable tools on your pedalboard with nothing to fail or batteries to replace. Saturnworks builds each unit by hand in Chicago using heavy-duty footswitches that can withstand years of gigging. Compact enclosure with top-mounted jack saves pedalboard space while ensuring your tap tempo control is always readily accessible. Compatible with most delay and modulation pedals from manufacturers like Strymon, Eventide, TC Electronic, Boss, Electro-Harmonix, and many others that feature external tap tempo jacks.
