Benedict Roff-Marsh TapeDeco

analog echoes for discerning spacemen.

Tape Deco is a 64-bit Windows VST3 focused on characterful analog-style echoes. While Tape Deco can do the basics of a delay unit, this is not its forte – if you are looking for simple delay lines, might I suggest my 2020 Modulating Delay. That said, the default Tape Deco setting on just about anything is lovely.

Tape Deco is about building fat choruses and stellar clusters of 1974 space echoes – just call ’em reverbs. I deliberately made the architecture more like that found in pre-90s units, therefore very much unlike the usual suspects VST, which are mostly designed to be safe (and as a result only deliver the same safe results). Anyone can use Tape Deco, but it is going to suit outward-bound space explorers best. Put it on anything, put it on everything.
