SSL Native X-Echo Plug-In (Serial Nr + Download)

Vintage tape echo inspired by the sound of definitive early tape delay hardware of the 1960s

SSL Native X-Echo is a vintage tape echo plug-in, inspired by the sound of definitive early tape delay hardware of the 1960s, while introducing SSL's signature analogue saturation and warmth. Aside from sounding great from the get-go, it is complimented by numerous other practical and creative features, such as built-in de-essing, waveform visualisation, and a brand-new reverb design.

FEATURES

• Inspired by early hardware delay units from the 1960s such as the Echoplex tape echo.
• Combine tape-style analogue degradation with classic SSL-style distortion characteristics using the ‘Wow & Flutter’ and ‘Saturation’ controls.
• Models classic characteristics of hardware tape echo devices, including the looping EQ, soft clipping, gentle tape hiss and self-oscillation when raising the feedback above 100%.
• WOW & FLUTTERemulates the effect of mechanical components like the capstan and pinchwheel, as well as the friction of the tape itself.
