Fixed missing modulation visualization in the filter display (accidentally disabled in the previous minor update). Fixed a possible crash when dragging the main tap in the delay display, while Feedback Pan was set all the way to -1 or 1.Alternatively an equally capable alternative would be Wave’s H Delay. Vintage And Classic Hardware Delay Plugins Offering just a single ‘sound’ but a lightning fast interface and some nice additions like tap tempo for setting delay times and a filter lock feature which allows the high and low pass filters to be offset from each other but move together for interesting band pass effects on long repeats. I really enjoy recreations of vintage electromechanical delays and this area is well catered for. Reverb was challenging to do well in the pre-digital days. Cumbersome solutions like plates and chambers were the most satisfactory but for delay, or echo as it was known, things were much simpler and more effective. The first incarnation of artificial delay was tape delay. Use of both the sync and repro heads of a tape machine introduced a short repeat echo which became a hallmark of rock and roll. Listen to classic 50s rock and roll and you’ll hear this distinctive ‘slapback’ tape delay on guitars and vocals.


The thick and rather claustrophobic sound of slap delay is used today, either subtly, often combined with reverb or as a stylistic reference. For instant Lennon vocals dial in some slap. Perhaps even more iconic is the Roland RE 201Space Echo.
