Oxford, UK (October 29, 2021)—Solid State Logic has unveiled its latest plug-in, the SSL Native X-Echo, recalling both the tape delays of classic rock with their swirling echoes and classic slap back, and more contemporary delays effects found in modern EDM.
The new plug-in serves up numerous features such as four switchable tape heads syncable to note value, DAW or MS with a single click, classic SSL style saturation, built-in de-esser, advanced waveform visualization and a brand-new ‘lo-fi’ SSL reverb processor.
Adding to the available options, the X-Echo reportedly combines tape-style signal degradation and soft compression with SSL-style distortion characteristics, accessible with dedicated ‘Wow & Flutter’ and ‘Saturation’ controls. The plug-in also features ‘Feedback’ control and ‘Freeze’ and ‘Kill’ functions for controlling delay length and buildups.
