Explore the World's Most Famous Tape Echo

The EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in gives you an exacting emulation of the legendary device used by Jimmy Page, Brian May, Chick Corea, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Johnson, and Andy Summers. Vintage Echoplexes are legendary for their idiosyncrasies — including distortion, wow and flutter, self-oscillation, squelch effects, and other random analog goodness. The EP-34 Tape Echo plug-in gives you all of this, and more.

What They Say

The EP-34 Tape Echo plug‑in is so addictive. I absolutely love the character!

Jeff Balding

Taylor Swift, The Eagles, Florida Georgia Line

If I didn't know better I would swear I was sitting in front of a hardware version. The feel and sound [of the EP-34 plug-in] are amazing.

Matt Knobel

Lenny Kravitz, Mary J. Blige

The EP-34 is totally authentic! But since it has automation control, you can get much more accurate with the delay slider. I love the continuous feedback/tape overload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
