Visual Sound V3 Tap Delay / Single Tap Delay Pedal
 
Compact tap-tempo delay with modulation, time divisions, tone shaping, and dual-output flexibility
The Visual Sound V3 Tap Delay is a compact, feature-rich delay pedal designed for players who want tap tempo control without giving up hands-on tone shaping. It delivers warm, analog-inspired delay character with the accuracy and convenience of digital timing, making it useful for everything from slapback and rhythmic dotted-eighth parts to ambient repeats, lead delay, and textured chorus-like modulation.
This model gives you both Manual and Tap operation modes, so you can either dial in the delay time by hand or tap the tempo live. The Time Div control offers rhythmic subdivision options, while Repeats, Effect Level, and Tone let you shape the amount, decay, and brightness of the repeats. The Mod control adds chorus-style movement to the delayed signal for more spacious, tape-like, or atmospheric sounds.
With dual outputs, an external tap input, and a practical two-footswitch layout, this is a strong choice for players who want a flexible tap delay without jumping into a large multi-delay workstation.
 
Condition:
Good used physical condition with normal signs of use. The pedal shows light scratches, small scuffs, minor finish marks, and typical handling wear on the enclosure, knobs, footswitches, and edges.
The bottom has a large Velcro-style pad already attached from previous pedalboard use. This can be useful if the buyer is adding it directly to a board, but it should be noted clearly.
Pedal only. No box, power supply, battery, manual, cables, or additional accessories included.
