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.

    Sounds like the original.

    This Echo unit is an authentic emulation of the original guitarist's Echo "Plex".

    The Plugin will not load into my pro-tools even though I bought it.

    The Plugin will not load into my pro-tools even though I bought it. It keeps saying demo expired. I've tried activating several times
