A Maestro-worthy Tape Delay Plug-in
For producers and guitarists seeking the iconic tape delay tones favored by legends such as Brian May, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, and Neil Young, Heritage Audio delivers with the TAPEoPLEX, a tape delay plug-in meticulously modeled from an original vaunted vintage unit (serial #34553) to capture every nuance of the classic sound. Studio engineers at Sweetwater are embracing the TAPEoPLEX for its rich analog feel and authentic tape delay character, which are hallmarks of Heritage Audio’s plug-in design. Like the original unit, the Heritage Audio TAPEoPLEX gives you precise control over your echo effects. Use the Echo Repeats knob to shape the number of repeats, and the Echo Volume knob to blend your wet/dry signal to taste. Maintain proper in-the-box gain staging with the Recording Volume knob, which adjusts input gain before the tape stage and is monitored via the adjacent Recording Level meter. Heritage Audio also introduces modern features such as a stereo delay format with independent left/right echo times, synced echo timing, and full DAW sync compatibility, expanding the creative potential far beyond the original hardware. From the crisp clarity of fresh tape to the subtle harmonic distortion of aged tape, TAPEoPLEX lets you dial in the exact tape condition to match the vibe of your mix. Add the Heritage Audio TAPEoPLEX to your toolkit and outfit your productions with a rhapsody of vintage delay flavor.
