Catalinbread CB Tap
Connect to the Belle Epoch Deluxe using the Catalinbread CB Tap – the external tap tempo mechanism.
The CB Tap not only adds tap functionality to the Belle Epoch Deluxe but also connects to anything with a tap-tempo out. This excludes Boss pedals and other non-normally-open taps.
The CB Tap comes with a Catalinbread-branded six-inch 1/4” TRS patch cable.
To use the CB Tap with the Belle Epoch Deluxe:
- Plug one end of the 1/4” TRS cable into the expression output of the Deluxe
- The other end into the “DLX” input of the CB Tap,
- Start tapping and the LED indicator will follow along.
To use the CB Tap with another pedal (even simultaneously as the Deluxe):
Plug one end of the 1/4” TRS cable into any non-Boss pedal’s tap out and plug the other end into the “Tap” input of the CB Tap, then start tapping. The LED indicator will not light up when using non-Deluxe pedals.
The CB Tap will set a delay time which can then be multiplied into uniform subdivisions by adjusting the “Echo Delay” knob.
One caveat to note is that the CB Tap will not tap anything outside of the Belle Epoch Deluxe’s delay range. For example, it will not tap slower than 800ms. This caveat only applies when tapping the Belle Epoch Deluxe.
Controls
- DLX: This is where you plug a 1/4” TRS cable when connecting to the Belle Epoch Deluxe. The other end of the TRS cable goes into the expression output of the Belle Epoch Deluxe.
- TAP: This is where you plug a 1/4” TRS cable when connecting to non-Belle Epoch Deluxe pedals. They must be pedals expecting a normally-open tap tempo device (check your manual). The CB Tap will not work with Boss pedals, for example. Please also note that the LED indicator will not illuminate when using the CB Tap with non-Belle Epoch Deluxe pedals.
