Hi Mike, I think the trick here is not so much how long the delay takes but the fact it goes “da, tickety, da” rather that “da, da, da”. Basically you get a fast repeat followed by a space then two fast repeats then a fading space followed by two fast repeats.

With some of the old tape echo units the tape would record then play back over a series of play back heads. The sound could be achieved by turning off the second play back head for example.

If I’ve found the right video here is what I mean

I managed to get it using two simple digital delays in TH-U setting one at 120ms going into another at 500ms.

Edit: “Found the right video”. Oddly enough Hank Marvin used a similar way to describe it in the video above. In my previous post the video was doing the same thing.
