Echobandit Analog Tape Echo Delay

Once no recreation of a decades old vintage tape echo unit from a famous company, but a digital recreation of the rather newly developed F-Pedals' Echobandit Gold and Silver tape echoes, which as hardware units - most probably - due to their great sound and small size - seem too be permanently sold out.

The Nembrini plugin version allows blending between the two different sonic characters, everything else works and is controlled as you would expect it from a tape echo simulation, and the Echobandit sounds very convincing, if you like tape echoes.

Great vintage based echo tones with maybe some modern improvement and without all the hardware problems, original tape echoes were known for. I've noticed positively that feedback/repeats works more stable before starting to self-oscillate than eg. an Echoplex, Copycat or some on these units based plugin-simulations, also all other controls seem to be very subtle adjustable, so that you really can get a lot of different echoes out of this plugin, from very short slap back echoes to large, dense atmospheric walls of repetitions.

The general quality of the echoes is great, everything always sounds very musically, never sterile, digitally or unharmonious.

So, if you need a variety of good tape echo sounds and do not necessarily need to see a vintage looking GUI of some more famous units on your screen, but look more for a very good tone, I think, this can be the only tape echo plugin, you'll ever need.

The rack version even expands the possibilites and allows - due to the two - also indenpenently adjustable - channels even the simulation of a multihead echo with 2 different echo times, different character, repeats, ...

Great state-of-the-art-technology for great, vintage based echo tones with some additional modern features.
