We’re now just in the realm of “retro” delays — tape + analog delays, which are two different things.

That said, of course, there’s a sort of nexus of delay-ish things here to be enjoyed, so thanks for all the links, folks!

It bears mentioning that the Audio Damage plugin doesn’t model a tape delay, so comparing them is like apples and oranges. It is an analog delay plug in, not a tape delay plugin.

Surely you didn’t mean to forget the ArcDev Dubb Box, which is a very nice Space Echo sim, complete with variable “vintageness” (tape hiss, motor inertia, and tape and motor age)

Among the freebies on the ConcreteFX page, make sure you try out SubOct. It makes one hell of a noise. No other plugin around quite like it.

Re delays: There was another freebie out there called P1-TapeDelay that was really excellent and did pitch changing better and smoother than Retrodelay (but not quite as good as the Audio Damage effects). Seems to have gone missing though, no longer shows up on its homesite. Maybe someone can find it by scouring the web.

Is a nice (free) AU dub/delay for OS X.
