SSL X-Delay + X-Echo Bundle

SSL Native X-Delay

ENDLESSLY CREATIVE VINTAGE DIGITAL DELAY

X-Delay is the latest premium creative plug-in from Solid State logic. Inspired by legendary hardware processors from the 80’s era of big delays, huge vocals and blazing guitar tracks, X-Delay is perfect for cavernous FX, up-front doubling and vast stereo soundscapes. And all with that SSL sound that can slap-you-back to the ‘80s or take you straight to 2080.

Artistic creativity and production inspiration; X-Delay features the right selection of processing tools to quickly and intuitively create professional quality delays for any vocal, instrument or sound. Add that ‘80s vibe by combining SSL’s renowned SATURATION and MODULATION for just the right amount of grit or shimmer. Unique MILTIPLIER control allows the alteration of all delay times simultaneously (an automation dream!). Crank ‘DIFFUSE’ and go from small plate to rich, thick reverb and beyond, and fine tune delay taps using SSL HP/LP filters, DE-ESS and MIX control to keep your delays mean and mixes clean.

SSL Native X-Echo

Vintage tape echo inspired by the sound of definitive early tape delay hardware of the 1960s. Vintage tape delay, advanced SSL workflow.

SSL Native X-Echo is a plug-in inspired by early tape delay hardware from the '60s and '70s, while introducing SSL's signature sound and brought up-to-date with advanced workflow.

X-Echo is your vibe machine, adding the gloriously warm sound of vintage tape to your recordings, sessions and even jams. Soft compression, hiss and the well-known gradual degradation of tape have all been meticulously modelled and combined with SSL's renowned console-style saturation and LF/HF EQ. In addition to advanced waveform visualisation, built-in 'DE-ESSER' and delay 'WIDTH' control, X-Echo features a brand-new SSL reverb design: Capable of subtle space to the richest of plates, all the way to a reverb tail which can fill a canyon, all via the single-knob 'DIFFUSION' control.

Able to effortlessly deliver traditional tape delay effects like swirling echoes and classic slap back, X-Echo is also capable of more contemporary creative delays commonly found in electronic music, and of course can be driven to self-oscillation via 'FEEDBACK' or add creative swells via 'FREEZE' and 'KILL'.
