Description

SSL Native X-Echo is a plug-in inspired by early tape delay hardware from the '60s and '70s, while introducing SSL's signature sound and brought up-to-date with advanced workflow. 

X-Echo is your vibe machine, adding the gloriously warm sound of vintage tape to your recordings, sessions and even jams. Soft compression, hiss and the well-known gradual degradation of tape have all been meticulously modelled and combined with SSL's renowned console-style saturation and LF/HF EQ. In addition to advanced waveform visualisation, built-in 'DE-ESSER' and delay 'WIDTH' control, X-Echo features a brand-new SSL reverb design: Capable of subtle space to the richest of plates, all the way to a reverb tail which can fill a canyon, all via the single-knob 'DIFFUSION' control.

Able to effortlessly deliver traditional tape delay effects like swirling echoes and classic slap back, X-Echo is also capable of more contemporary creative delays commonly found in electronic music, and of course can be driven to self-oscillation via  'FEEDBACK' or add creative swells via 'FREEZE' and 'KILL'.

Key Features

  • 4 switch-able tape heads for adding variation
  • Tape-style analogue degradation with classic SSL-style distortion characteristics using the -Wow & Flutter- and -Saturation- 
  • Models classic characteristics of hardware tape echo devices, including the looping EQ, soft clipping, gentle tape hiss and self-oscillation
  • WOW & FLUTTER emulates the effect of mechanical components, as well as the friction of the tape itself
  • FREEZE and KILL to build risers and drops
  • DIFFUSION control, featuring a brand new reverb design 
  • Built-in DE-ESSER for controlling the sibilant frequencies that tape echoes often accentuate. 
  • Unique interface and waveform visualisation
  • Cleverly stereoises mono signals
  • Built on the SSL Plug-in Engine

    Magnetic echo sound

    Well done from SSL as usual. Magnetic echo bande pertinent for many audio source material. On guitars and drums with subtle set you get a very nice effect. I recommend it without any hesitation.
