The A/DA STD-1 Stereo Tapped Delay, originally released in 1980, stands out as a distinctive analog effects processor known for its creative sound-shaping capabilities. Featuring six bucket-brigade delays, modulation controls, and flexible panning options, it excels at enhancing guitars, vocals, drums, and other instruments by adding width, depth, and unique character. This plug-in offers an authentic emulation of the rare analog rack unit, delivering rich soundscapes and spatial effects that elevate any audio source.

Designed for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces, the A/DA STD-1 plug-in faithfully recreates the original’s six tunable, non-harmonic bucket-brigade delays that allow you to craft echoes and short reverbs with rhythmically overlapping taps. Each delay tap can be independently panned to the left or right channel, creating dynamic stereo images over time. Its flexible feedback section lets you sculpt the intensity and complexity of the delayed signals, providing endless creative possibilities for layering and transforming sounds.

Central to the A/DA STD-1’s distinctive sound is its dual LFO circuit with adjustable sweep rates, which modulates the delayed signals to produce warm, three-dimensional effects. This modulation capability covers a broad sonic range, from classic chorusing and flanging to innovative sound design. Celebrated by guitarists and producers alike, this plug-in offers a powerful toolset for adding rich modulation and expansive stereo textures to any mix.
