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.

Frank Zappa, Van Morrison, UFO

    The BEST of the BESY

    I have a YouTube channel called "Metal Dad". I've done ALOT of Van Halen videos. This plugin is crucial to get the sound of early VH records. AMAZING.

    Desired Effect Achieved !

    I recordeda piece of music that required a vocal texture that was haunting yet not artificial sounding. The only thing that came close to what I needed was the vocal sound on Bruce Springsteen's album Nebraska.. he actually used the same piece of equipment and this plug-in version is no slouch. Excellent emulation of the actual hardware.

    As the title states, it is the closest I've found to the real thing, which I also posses!

    Fun to play with and it looks cool!

    When I was 15, I was a huge Yes fan. Steve Howe used at least one EP-34 on several shows that I attended. I always wanted one. But now, I have one and it sounds exactly as I thought it would. Thanks for the great memories through your amazing emulations.
