Description
Some delay and modulation effects sound their best when their tempo tracks the song in real time, not a preset division you dialed in before the gig started. The MXR M199 Tap Tempo Pedal exists purely for that job: tap it in rhythm and it feeds the timing directly to any compatible unit downstream, letting you follow tempo shifts on the fly instead of stopping to twist a knob.
Connection is simple. A standard tip/ring plug on the cable means any instrument or pedalboard patch cable works fine for hooking it up to your delay or modulation pedal, so there’s no proprietary cable to track down or replace.
Physically, it’s built to disappear into a crowded signal chain. The enclosure is small enough to tuck into gaps between larger pedals, which matters when board space is already claimed by drives, modulation, and delay units. Despite the compact footprint, the housing is built to hold up under repeated, hard stomping night after night, so it earns its spot on the board without becoming the weak link.
- Dedicated tap tempo switch for compatible delay/modulation pedals
- Tip/ring cable connection, works with standard instrument or pedalboard cables
- Compact housing fits easily between other pedals
- Rugged construction for heavy live use
For players who lean on tempo-synced delay or modulation and want split-second control over feel, this little switch earns a permanent spot near the front of the board.
