Tape Echoes

Ableton

Tape Echoes is a Max for Live tape delay plugin that captures the authentic character of vintage analog tape echo hardware. It combines realistic tape modeling with Drive and Dirt features for anything from clean vintage tones to heavily distorted, saturated effects, avoiding the clinical cleanliness of typical digital delays.

02Number of Taps knob for one, two, or three tap configurations mimicking analog tape delay heads
03Delay Time fader with secondary taps that follow the first tap timing
04Integrated spring reverb with parallel or pre-delay routing options
05Softube-quality modeling of classic vintage tape delay hardware

Things to Try

  • 01Set the delay time to minimum with Drive and Dirt engaged for classic old-school grit
  • 02Place the reverb before the delay line to create reverb-soaked distortion effects
