Variety of Sound NastyDLA tape delay VST

The main reason for the lack of updates in the gearcorner of my website has been the lack of interesting news to write about. Now, the guy named Bootsy aka Variety of Sound just released his take on classic chorus / tape delay simulation with NastyDLA.

Following his website you could see how he emerged with studying the sound of classic devices to designing his own device.

From his specifications:

• input stage model including signal coloration and non-linearities (switchable)
• classic chorus/flanger effect with amount and rate control which automatically adopts to the delay line configuration
• frequency balancing filter for dead-easy overall tone adjustments in the feedback path
• two different feedback color modes
• feedback circuit and control which supports resonance up to self-oscillation
• standard DSP 12dB high-pass filter
• custom “tape style” low-pass filtering
• sophisticated “tape hiss” noise simulation
• negative or positive pre-delay
• comprehensive tape dynamics simulation taken from the core of the award winning FerricTDS
• the dynamics offers a slight audio ducking effect (switchable)
• two independent delay lines with up to 3sec delay time and sync to host
• delay time modulation with two different modes
• additional phase distortion (switchable)

Especially his treatment for the authentic tape hiss noise is getting my applause here, it sounds great and perfect for all your dub techno needs.

NastyDLA available as free VST effect for Windows (32bit).
