The ultimate Tape Delay
Delay, tape emulation, modulation, and a tube preamp.
The Echoleffe Tape Delay gives you the sounds and spirit of a fabulous, all-tube tape delay from 1961. It adds effortless character and vintage mojo to your recordings and mixes. It does everything from slapback to long delays that become part of the musical phrase. Synch it to your DAW for quick vocal echoes and ambience. But it does more than just delay.
The ETD is also a versatile tape emulator, to get that analog warmth and crush on your tracks. Adjust the wow and flutter to simulate age, or push the setting to turn the Echoleffe into an amazing analog tape flanger. There’s even a tube preamp in it. The Korneff Echoleffe is a heavyweight.

Delay, Emulation and Saturation
The Echoleffe is a tape delay, a tape emulator and a tube preamp
Mode one
Tape Delay
A tape delay simulation with unmatched versatility and sonics. From pristine vocal echoes to outer space flange effects.
Mode two
Tape Saturation
Switches off the delays and turns the ETD into a dedicated tape saturator. Gentle warmth to complete overload, with wow and flutter for modulated effects.
Mode three
Tube Preamp
Gorgeous warmth and richness on any signal. No delay, no saturation, just pure tube glow — or crank the gain and make things explode.
It’s a tape delay
Three delay lines, up to four seconds each.
Three delay lines can be independently panned across the stereo field, EQ’d and tweaked for effects ranging from subtle to massive. Add grit with the overly exaggerated bias adjustment, or use the filters to create lo-fi echo effects.
Tempo sync to your DAW for perfectly timed echoes based on note values, or set the time manually for up to four seconds of delay per line.
More than just echoes
Beyond delay, you have extensive control of every aspect of the tape. Tweak the age of the unit, simulate worn motors and tape heads, change tape formulations. Set wow and flutter for flanging and detune effects. Create reverbs that shimmer and move — or nail the guitar sounds of your favorite players.
- Delay times up to 4000 ms
- Set pans and frequency response per delay line
- Sync to DAW
- Flanging and detuning effects
- Simulate age and battle damage
It’s a tape saturator
The reason top engineers still cut to analog tape.
Tracks recorded to analog tape tend to sit better in the mix, thanks to the gentle compression and sweet harmonics of tape saturation. Now you can get that sound on your mixes.
Adjust everything — gain, bias, tape formulation, age. The ETD can be as gorgeous as a vintage tape deck, or as crunched and nasty as you want it to be.
It’s a tube preamp
A late-’50s circuit that sounded good enough to become a guitar amp.
The heart of any audio system is its preamp. The ETD’s is an enhanced recreation of a tube circuit from the late 1950s that sounded so good it was made into a guitar amp.
You get complete control of that circuit — tailor the sound of your delays, warm up a track, or create a unique fuzz tone. Strap it across the mix bus. Fix a thin bass.
Pros talking about the Echoleffe Tape Delay
Whether it’s serious heavy lifting or the last five percent, I’m doing more with less using Korneff Audio.
The Echoleffe Tape Delay works with all DAWs
Real customer reviews Echoleffe Tape Delay
The ultimate repair tool. Its a lot more than just a delay. While that section is killer, this allows me to take thin, lifeless sounding recordings and thicken them up to where they sit in a mix how they should with minimal effort.
I’m a echo/delay collector (plugins and pedals mostly) Echoleffe is now a go to for a very specific tape delay sound that I wasn’t getting in other plugins. So good!
For me it replaces Waves L1
Easy to use and great sound in my mixes!
Could not install on offline-pc because such feature was not yet implemented, even though it came with a key to do so.
I was very impressed at the width and depth the wow plugin added to my guitar tracks using it on a buss. i also perceived more detail and an enhancement to the sonics on those guitar tracks when moving from bypass to active on the plugin. i will add that it is easily abmust add to your plugin library.
Love this for adding a 3d quality to room mics, reverb returns, spring reverb-soaked surf guitar… anything that has space in the sound and needs depth. Or anything that doesn't have space but needs some! A little can be magic for adding spatial realism to a sound whenever that's desired. Great plugin.
What kind of sorcery is this ??!?
My thoughts are WOW…it works a treat. bye bye other guitar spacial plugins.
this one is kind the new kid and she is a banging 10!
It simply sounds great
Does not work on everything, but when it does, it's just great.
It,s like…WOW!
I purchased this expecting to put my Crybaby wah in the wardrobe but to be honest, I'm better off using the actual thing.
The plugin works if, and only if, the guitar sound is clean. If your guitar sound is overdriven then the WOW wah hardly works. I still used it to make a strange phasing sort of sound but it doesn't sound like a proper wah. I don't think this is the fault of Korneff – I think to get a proper wah sound, the wah needs to be BEFORE the guitar, not after it like we have here. Disapointed.
Simple the use and really fun playing around with it. It just adds this special WOW on my guitar tracks!
In a crowded plugin market, WOW Thing is unique and worth a buy.
I haven't discovered the magic yet but I'm confident I will.
Amazing secret sauce.
I used it on a very busy track on a piano solo and WOW! Made it jump right out… larger than life!!
Very unique plugin that I’ve so far highly enjoyed! Amazing on guitars.
Been using this on guitar, bass, and vocals, love it for giving a sense of space and oomph!
Sounds amazing on reverb returns.
It is an awesome plug in for your guitars. I use it on my guitar bus all the time.
An absolutely useful tool that from the moment on you used it once you wouldn’t want to miss. Get it now and keep on smiling! A plug-in like soul food.

Fantastic Plugin! I use it on every project. I love the Release and Manual Sync functions, in addition to the Input Shape and Tone.
Let's not forget oversampling. There is a ton of flexibility, and it sounds great!
Also the support is A+. I had one problem when migrating the plugin to another computer. There was a valid response my support ticket in less than 1 1/2 hours. Great support, great plugin, great company!

It rocks!
great
The best tape delay emulation! Saturation and preamp modes are wonderful too and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite mojo plugins.
This isn’t like any other tape delay plugin I already have and I have quite a few. There’s a lot of scope for tweaking the sound and I love the crusty vibe you can get from it. It does (fairly) clean too though. With the tape saturation and preamp options you can use it for radical tone shaping without the delay/reverb.
This thing is giving my favored PSP Echo a run for its money! Excellent analog sound, but the bonus is the saturation and tube preamp! I feel like I robbed someone – I paid for one plugin, but got three! Kudos to Dan (and Luke) at Korneff Audio!
These plugins go over and beyond
my expectations. They add sooo much colour
and umph to my productions.
Keep up the good work.
This was my first Hardware Echo…i played back all kinds of records after school and make my stepfather go freak…
This does the same things i dreamed of for long.
Thank you Korneff people 🙏
Ralf Goldking
Great and actually pretty unique plugin, and a great deal of fun at that!
Hey Dan & Luke … ok … I LOVE this delay, it sounds deluxe,[like all you stuff] straight up, then there's much delight in the tweaking the flexibility within, from beautiful warm tape to seriously cool super messed up sounds, it's magnificent in stereo : that's when the magic happens …. big thanks, was worth the wait, cheers Shane
good
Like all the Korneff stuff, it's brilliant and SO "tweakable"!
Has its own sound. A lot of "analog delay" plugins sound muddy and similar, this is very specific and can fit in a mix easily. Worth the money if you need another flavor. Also good saturation options if you turn the delays off.
These are life changing plugins!! Dan’s setting are just ridiculous! He’s an amazing human being too! Thank you for making such amazing plugins – Billy Dawson
They could have stripped this down and just offered it as a dedicated tape saturator or a tube amp simulator and it would have been worth it. The delay is versatile enough to cover pretty much anything you want, with the ability to tweek every
parameter you can think of. Manual/Tempo Synched delay, EQ, bias, head pan,hi/lo filters, head bump, tape types,tape age. Make it funky.
I’m a bit of an old school guy. So always looking for something familiar that’s brings back good memories of the past, the glue, saturation, depth and just plain vibe for days the second you flip the switch. Found it!!!!!!
Man, this is ridiculous!!!!!!!!
Great sounding plug-in, from an great company !
