What it does
- Made by the group responsible for UA's Ampex and Studer tape plugins, this is a tape saturation effect.

- Tape speeds of 7.5 and 15 ips are available, along with two emphasis curves and noise reduction options.
- Works with Unison on Apollo interfaces to record through tape in real time.
- Runs natively, or accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD Accelerators.
