About
Stellar Echo SD-201 captures the distinctive vibe and nuance of classic tape delay. Unlike digital delays, this analog tape echo-inspired plug-in introduces subtle pitch and timing variations, adding warmth and depth as echoes naturally evolve and blend organically into a mix. Play creatively with high feedback for unique saturation effects or adjust tape speed for cosmic pitch-shifting effects to add a rich, psychedelic layer to your sound. Stellar Echo transforms your tracks with a perfect fusion of vintage charm and the creative possibilities of modern production.
In addition to the original spring reverb tank, Stellar Echo also lets you use plate, chamber, or hall reverbs to run your delays through. You also have control of the reverb decay time, of each of these, including the standard spring.
Controls like the Wow & Flutter slider, the Dry Thru slider, and the FX Input Mute and Clean/Noise switches allow you to manually adjust the sound of the plugin in ways the original hardware couldn't.
