This free VST plugin recreates the unique characteristics of two classic vintage tube reel-to-reel tape recorders: the Revox F36 from 1962 and the Tandberg Model 3 from 1958. Each unit offers a distinct sound signature shaped by its original components and maintenance history. The Revox has been meticulously preserved, maintaining its authentic vintage circuitry, while the Tandberg remains untouched with all original parts, including pristine Telefunken tubes. This authentic preservation allows the plugin to deliver rich, warm tones that capture the essence of early analog tape recording.

Designed to add warmth, character, and tape saturation to your audio, this plugin can simulate tape multi-tracking or introduce controlled distortion for a rawer sound. Users can switch between the Revox and Tandberg emulations, unlocking a range of tonal options by adjusting input and output levels, tube saturation, noise bias, and noise level. A unique 15 ips speed setting extends creative possibilities beyond the original hardware, while a “Vintage” knob allows you to alter the frequency response to mimic the sound quality of vinyl records, perfect for adding a nostalgic touch or embracing a lo-fi aesthetic.

This 32-bit PC-only VST offers full automation and MIDI learn functionality, enabling seamless integration into your workflow. It features zero latency, making it suitable for real-time processing during recording or mixing sessions. Whether you want to subtly warm up digital sounds or aggressively color your tracks with vintage tape effects, this plugin provides an accessible and authentic way to infuse your music with classic analog tape warmth.
