Heritage Audio has announced the availability of a native plugin based on the beloved vintage tape delay used by everyone from Eddie Van Halen to Brian May, Jimmy Page, Neil Young and many others. The Heritage TAPEoPLEX aims to bring the sound of the most famous tape echo unit of all time to your DAW.
The plugin is designed to add warmth and space to your tracks, ranging from soft and clean delays to distorted repeats that lead to self-oscillation.
It was about time someone got serious about recreating the legendary tape delay sound to today’s standards and the use of today’s technology to carefully model this plugin from an original unit (Serial # 34553) is the real secret behind the sound of the TAPEoPLEX, making it the best sounding tape delay plug-in available today. And taking advantage of the extra options that a plug-in allows, the TAPEoPLEX is now a full independent stereo unit where you can choose different echo times for the L and R channel or link them to have the same or different delay time constant on each side, following either the same tempo or the DAW’s tempo.
An additional control even allows to choose the amount of freshness of the tape, adding color and a slight harmonic distortion to your tracks when needed.
Heritage TAPEoPLEX for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX) is priced $99 USD / €99 EUR at Plugin Boutique and from the Heritage Audio store. The plugin is free to owners of any i73 PRO audio interface family.
