Yeah €59 incl VAT!
Thanks again!
Well to be fair, Tape Echo's drive does seem to alias quite a bit, while Valhalla Delay's saturation is 100% clean - the Softube one takes up about 3-4 times as much CPU though... so, nope that's not it.
I don't think Valhalla delay has the same flavour as this. This is much more dubby and dirty.jens wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:40 pm Well to be fair, Tape Echo's drive does seem to alias quite a bit, while Valhalla Delay's saturation is 100% clean - the Softube one takes up about 3-4 times as much CPU though... so, nope that's not it.
I don't know how Softube does it, but their marketing works amazingly well. I assume it must be the shiny GUIs plus the high prices...
Yes, I for one was very disappointed - first when watching a Couple of videos, the when trying it out myself...
By dubby I just mean it seems it would work better than valhalla as a delay for dubby laid back styles of music (think anything from Mad Professor, OTT etc) . Seems like a great sound for that kind of dubby reverb on guitars and off beat parts, as well as having a nice delay throw sound for those splashy drum effects.
Or alternatively use the free Spaceship Delay. Still hoping that eventually it will receive the overhaul which Ivan the developer had originally planned.SonicDimension wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 7:26 pm Tape Echoes has a simple spring reverb, which is an important component of the Space Echo's character. Valhalla Delay does not have a spring reverb emulation.
For a less expensive and more flexible tape delay emulation (which includes multiple reverb and modulation modes), check out Surreal Machines Modnetic.
I was merely being facetious. I LOVE ValhallaDelay and I don't have much interest in this Softube one : ) Looks great though but I need another tape delay like I need another fractured foot.
I think I now get what you mean - I thought you were talking about the saturation, which is really much tamer on the Softube one than Valhalla Delay can be (while having a similar character, albeit ever so slightly slightly darker than the Tape Modes of V Delay) - but yes, as SonicDimension mentioned thanks to the included Spring Reverb you get dubby tones out of it which you can't get out of V Delay itself, flexible as it may ever be._leras wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:33 pmBy dubby I just mean it seems it would work better than valhalla as a delay for dubby laid back styles of music (think anything from Mad Professor, OTT etc) .

And Valhalla delay does have a nice smooth tape feel - really good. But with this one the tape feel is more aged, grungier and dirty, which means that the delay really slips in nicely behind the part being delayed and have a really nice vibe. It's a bit like the Roland Space Echo - but a different flavour.
Tape sound with no delay and built in reverb are also both nice to have as well for sure.
Yes, Valhalla Delay is great - but I think it really can't do what this does.
