What will the ReTracer offer me regarding…

• Possibilities: The ReTracer is a complete delay workstation with few limits! That means access to a dozen different engines with individually changeable parameters. Create your own signature presets and store at one of the more than 200 available slots and organize them in banks. You can run this pedal in mono, stereo, or dual (true stereo) mode, with Tail, Buffered, or True bypass mode set individually for each sound (where applicable).
  The ReTracer also features extensive tap tempo settings, an effects loop, is midi and expression pedals compatible, and a lot more! With the new Desktop Editor (see the Downloads tab), editing is made easy and fun!
• Simplicity: If you prefer simplicity over flexibility, stick with the factory presets or create a few go-to presets of your own and use the ReTracer’s standard control knobs to set the mix-level, feedback, delay time, and tone on the fly!
• Precision: You can pick an engine that offers you precise repeats and dial in the exact time in ms with the ReTracer, but you can also pick an engine that lets you mess with the parameters for more vintage/analog and modulated delay effects.
• Sound quality: the ReTracer offers High-Grade sound with a 115 dB dynamics range, 24-bit audio with a 48 kHz sample rate.
• Compatibility: The ReTracer complies with most Midi devices as well as external expression pedals and tap controls.
• Size: The ReTracer is a compact, space-saving pedal with all the features normally found only in big space-craving boxes.
• Price: The ReTracer is an affordable delay pedal considering the capabilities and sound quality it offers.
  The EBS ReTracer is developed and designed entirely by EBS, including both hardware and software.

The DESKTOP EDITOR for MAC or PC NEW!

Editor 1.1 operates much faster than the previous version and includes an updater for the pedals firmware so you don't need the Firmware Utility software in order to update to the latest firmware anymore. Another new feature is that you can backup your entire pedal with a click through Options > Backup Device in the Editor's top menu.

Download the Editor ver 1.1 for PC

Download the Editor ver 1.2 for MAC

Note: the new 1.2 version for MAC, released on Feb 24, 2021, is compatible with the Big Sur macOS.  Please follow these steps to get started…

1. Download and install the latest Editor on your computer.
2. Connect the pedal to your computer via USB. Plugin your instrument to the pedal, and the pedal to an amp if you want to hear what you do.
3. Start the Editor. If the pedal uses an outdated firmware version, the editor will suggest a firmware update. If so, just follow the instructions on the screen to update to the latest firmware (if you are connected to the internet). You can also download the firmware and then install it from your computer while offline (see below).
4. You are now ready to work with the editor.
5. For a quick guide on the workflow, check out the video introduction below:

  We would like to hear from you if you have any questions or details that you’d like to know more about regarding the Editor and how to use it.
