Kramer Tape

Saturation
Waves

Kramer Master Tape is a tape saturation plugin modeled on a rare vintage ¼" tube-powered reel-to-reel machine used by Eddie Kramer at Olympic Studios in the late '60s to record iconic rock tracks. It provides comprehensive control over tape speed, bias, flux, wow & flutter, and modeled noise, plus a flexible slap & feedback delay section for adding authentic analog tape character to digital recordings.
