What it does

  • Tape emulation and lo-fi effect based on the sound of Mellotron V.
  • Tape controls for noise, flutter, wow, wear and mechanics, plus distortion and boost stages.
  • An interactive tape wheel provides a tempo-synced tape stop with an optional instant catch-up.
  • Includes 12 dB low-pass and high-pass filters and a stereo width control that offsets wow and flutter across channels.
  • Comes with 25 presets for retro and lo-fi effects.
