Cooper® Time Cube MkII Delay
-
Unique, garden hose-based mechanical delay device, captured as a plug-in.
Designed by Duane H. Cooper and Bill Putnam, the Cooper Time Cube was a garden hose-based mechanical delay device introduced in 1971. It has achieved cult status as the most unique delay ever made. Famous for its spectacular short delay and doubling effects — as well its uncanny ability to sit perfectly in the mix — the Cooper TIme Cube is as character-filled a device as you will ever find.
The Cooper Time Cube MkII plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is an exacting emulation of this utterly original, and usable, device. By capturing the sound of the original delay system, while offering modern delay features, the Cooper Time Cube MkII plug-in is a versatile, fat-sounding space maker without equal.Now You Can:
Craft delay textures with the most unique delay device ever made
Add intense doubling effects to thicken vocals, guitars, synths, and more
Adjust Tempo Sync for A & B delay lines separately for intriguing rhythmic delays
Expertly tweak repeats with Treble, Bass, Color, and High Pass Filter controls
5-Minute UAD Tip
In this video, learn how to widen a Wurlitzer, add vibey slapback to guitars, and synchronized delay trails on a vocal with the Cooper Time Cube MkII Delay plug‑in.
“The Cooper Time Cube plug-in is one of my favorites. It's much easier than running sounds through a box with garden hoses inside.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey) -

SLAP BACK!!!!
One of a kind! I was never happy with any of the delays I had until I demoed this and purchased it. This has its own unique sound and I use it, literally, on every track in some form or another.
B. Gibbons

I just needed a quick easy to use delay, I never thought the Cooper time cube had as much personality as it does. This little thing is magic

Una herramienta a descubrir
Probé la Demo con pistas de voz y quedé sorprendido de la mejora y sutileza , sobre todo usándolo después de la Reverb . No es un Delay al uso pero muy útil . Muy contento con la compra .
B. Belle
Excellent Plugin
Really this was a game changer for me
E. BASTIDE
Nice vibe !
Very useful to make things wider in //.
But can be use in a more traditional way like slapback echo too, it gives you different retro tone than some usual plugins like Echoboy.N. Bryce
Wow !!!!!!!!!!!
I love this plug-in! I was looking for that Elvis slap back echo effect and found it! Add it to vocals or any instrument and you will fall in love with it, That water-hose reverb effect is definitely different than any other reverb! You can here the air and depth, Thank you Universal Audio for making my recordings sound amazing :~)

The one trick pony that you just need
While you can use this plugin as a general purpose - and very musical - delay, it absolutely shines in the default settings. Add it to a mono track, and see how magically it opens it up. It creates space and breadth to everything it touches, and it does it in a way that would require a lot of tweaking to obtain with conventional plugins and tools. Highly recommend.
