THE ECHO THAT BREATHES
TSL Tube Delay is a vintage-style tube echo for your DAW. It gives you warm, slightly wobbly repeats that sit in a mix the way a classic rack unit does – and it looks and feels like one: an aged-metal panel, a glowing glass tube that reacts to your signal, a swinging VU needle and real bat-handle toggle switches that snap over with a spring.
Put it on a vocal for a slow, dark bloom. Give a guitar a 50s slapback. Throw a snare into a dub echo. Freeze a pad into an endless cathedral. Every repeat is coloured by the tube stage and never sits perfectly still.
WHAT YOU GET
TUBE CHARACTER
– Four tube voicings: 12AX7, 12AU7, 6SN7 and EL84
– Anti-aliased (ADAA) triode-style saturation with Drive, Bias (even-harmonic asymmetry) and Sag (supply compression)
– Optional tube noise: hiss and 50 / 60 Hz mains hum for the full vintage-rack effect
ECHO THAT MOVES
– Three delay modes on one smooth exponential knob: Short 10-500 ms, Medium 20 ms-1 s, Long 40 ms-2 s
– Tempo sync with 11 divisions (including triplets and dotted values), read from your host
– Wow, flutter and drift with random-walk modulation – the repeats never sit perfectly still
– Tone control that darkens every repeat a little more, like tape losing its top end
– Wet low cut and high cut to carve the echoes out of the way of your mix
STEREO AND PLAYING TOOLS
– Stereo, Ping-Pong, Dual (independent left / right times with 7 ratios) and Mono modes, plus Spread
– Ducking: echoes duck while you play and bloom when you stop
– Hold: freeze the echo into an endless loop
PRESETS AND WORKFLOW
– 60 factory presets in 12 categories: Studio, Slapback, Tube Echo, Dub, Ambient, Vocal, Guitar, Drums, Stereo, Lo-Fi, FX, Sync
– Save your own presets, A/B compare, copy A to B, undo / redo for every parameter change, one-click INIT
– All parameters are automatable
HARDWARE FEEL
– Glowing tube that warms up when you power on, brightens with the signal and goes dark when you power off
– Mass-and-spring VU meter (0 VU = -18 dBFS) – click it to switch between Output and Input
– Snap-action bat-handle toggles: click, drag, scroll or use the keyboard
– Knobs you can feel: drag, scroll, double-click to reset, Ctrl / Cmd-drag for fine control, with an LCD value readout while you touch
– Resizable window – the panel scales without re-flowing
DESIGNED IN GREECE
TSL Tube Delay is designed by George Tsomokos for TSL Studio Equipment.
