REQ: Heritage Audio TAPEoPLEX

THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE THAT BECAME A PLUGIN

It all began a few years ago…while working on a project at Heritage Audio HQ, someone at engineering said that this classic tape delay would sound better by adding this or changing that.

It soon became a recurring conversation among our engineering team, so we ended up acquiring an original unit on the second-hand market.
Description

THE TAPE DELAY SOUND OF A CLASSIC, BUT HEAVILY IMPROVED

Once the unit (Serial # 34553) was home, it was modified again and again by Heritage Audio staff, transforming it into the Heritage TAPEoPLEX.

The changes that this unit has gone through over the years have turned it into a tape delay machine with a unique and distinctive sound that we just had to convert into a plug-in.

AN UNIQUE, UNEQUALED PIECE TURNED INTO A PLUG-IN WITH ADDED FEATURES

Taking advantage of the extra options that a plug-in allows, we have converted the TAPEoPLEX into a stereo unit where you can choose different echo times for the L and R channel or link them to have the same or different delay time constant on each side, following either the same tempo or the DAW’s tempo.

What started out as a fun challenge at the office has developed into the most powerful tape delay plug-in available today.
