Product Description

• Vintage Tape Echo The TD-201 vintage tape echo plug-in brings the unmistakable sound of the classic analog delay into the 21st century. This intuitive unit offers a wide variety of detailed parameters
• making it highly customizable yet simple to operate. As a part of the 1950s revolution in music production
• musicians
• producers
• and engineers were busy creating the foundation of the modern-day workflow
• introducing countless technical innovations - from guitar amps to electric organs
• as well as an incredible amount of studio effects. This period also marked the birth of electric reverberation & delay units. Early-day tape delays such as the Echoplex or Copicat - the first attempts at echo generators - have a history of being technically unreliable and prone to damage when transported
• yet their sound was so captivating that further attempts inevitably ensued. It was in the late 1960s when Japanese engineer Ikutaro Kakehashi and Hammond started experimenting with multi-head tape echos. One of these featured a free-floating 1⁄4-inch tape & spring reverb housed in a rock-solid tape chamber
• ready for touring and more stable and reliable than anything on the market at the time. The Roland Space Echo RE-201 became a best-seller for the brand. It further evolved into a range of delay effects that are still extensively used in music productions and in sound design today. The famous delay sound has stayed consistent ever since the RE-201 was born. For many tape delay aficionados
• there is nothing like the sound of a legendary vintage unit. Still
• many struggle with their unpredictability
• not to mention that they can be time-consuming to use and difficult to access. This is why they have created the TD-201 - a highly customizable in-the-box tape delay that offers all of the vintage character of the classics
• as well as countless customization options for maximum usability. Features Multi-Head Mode Selector They have implemented a complex mode selection that allows for seamless transitioning between the play- back heads so that you can dial in your perfect room setup. Effortlessly mix your reverberation and delay just like with the vintage original. Per Head Fine Tuning Fine-tune your perfect echo by adjusting the depth
• volume
• and stereo position per playback head in the lower panel. The nine parameters allow for surgical-level precision in your workflow. Tap & Sync Quickly synchronize the tape speed to your mix/ rhythm with the sync control. By using this feature
• the echo will follow the impulse given by the tap knob. Dial in Some Randomness In order to go "full vintage"
• try to use our range of fine-tuning parameters to control the motor
