I've been debating the same swap. The most I've gleaned is that the T. Rex sounds a little better and the Empress has a lot more functionality. The sound is the most important thing, so I feel pretty good about having the T. Rex, but I would like to HEAR an Empress. -E
well i have both on my board and ill say the replica doesnt get nearly as much use as the empress, i use the replica for all my digital delay needs. it does a great clear strong delay. i use the empress for all my weird stuff like modulation and just whatever i need
there is a stock preset on the empress that is a reverse delay with an octave up!! its rediculous its preset number 4 if you get one. but for my analog delay i use a simple carbon copy. i will say for ambient stuff i love running my empress into my replica, just a thought. heres a pic of my board and how i run them.
