Universal Audio Releases EP-34 Tape Echo Plug-In For UAD-2
Universal Audio has released the new EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in for the UAD-2. Inspired by two classic Echoplex tape delay units (EP-3 and EP-4), UA’s EP-34 plug-in gives guitar players and mix engineers rich, warm tape delay effects on the UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins platform for Mac and PC.
Universal Audio's EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in is available as part of the new UAD Software v5.7.0 release.
Unlike other Echoplex emulations, the EP-34 is the first plug-in that targets specific behaviors of both the EP-3 and EP-4 Echoplexes with a unique movable record head design.
The ever-meticulous DSP experts at UA sweated every last detail, ensuring that the EP-34 plug-in is “verifiably the most accurate model for those who want the distinct, chaotic Echoplex sound, warts and all.”
The rich tape echo sounds and tactile controls of the original Echoplex units are much loved by both musicians and engineers and can be heard on classic recordings from Jimmy Page, Brian May, Chick Corea, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson and Andy Summers.
The EP-34 is now available for purchase via UA’s Online Store for $199.
The EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in is available as part of the new UAD Software v5.7.0 release. In addition to the EP-34 Tape Echo, v5.7.0 includes the now officially licensed dbx 160 Compressor/Limiter plug-in, as well as additional performance enhancements for all UAD-2 users on the Windows platform. UAD Software v5.7.0 is available as a FREE download for Mac and PC users worldwide.
