Timeless falls into the category of delay plugins that spark creativity and inspire new ideas. The main delay engine is modelled on tape echo units, but the real fun starts with the company’s trademark modulation options, similar to those found in plugins like Saturn and Volcano. The modulation options mean that Timeless’s delay section and its excellent multi-mode filters can be manipulated using LFOs, envelope followers, XL controllers and envelope generators to create a range of interesting, dynamic takes on echo effects. It’s a big step up from the average tape delay plugin.
The only significant downside is that Timeless doesn’t have the most intuitive user interface, but the overall approach will probably still be familiar to anyone who’s worked with Fabfilter plugins before. Once you’ve got to grips with it, features like the cross-feedback options and drag-and-drop modulation routing are incredibly versatile. It’s worth putting in the time to understand the powerful features hidden beneath the techy exterior.

I always loved Nomad Factory’s “Echoes”. Just a beautiful sounding bit of kit. Fxpansion’s “Bloom” is equally lovely, just ridiculously complex with it.
Love it that there’s a shout out for “Ratshack Reverb” too. I put that on so many of my tracks, I think I need an intervention….

I was just about to question the lack of UAD Space Echo, then I noticed they’ve discontinued it. Anyone know what’s happened there? Looks like Roland have withdrawn the licences for Roland emulations or something? I’m guessing they’re going to release plugins of their own…

Also missing Valhalla Ubermod, more than just delay. I didn’t know about the UVI one, seems great.

Echoboy is incredible, definitely one of my desert island plugins. I lot of the time I don’t even use it as a delay, turning the echo time to 0ms and tweaking the saturation settings to get awesome lo-fi tape warmth and wobble. Echoboy is more than a plugin, its an instrument.

Wow you’re right Spicer, good thing I finally just purchased it a couple weeks ago when it was on sale.

Hey Spicer there is an emulation of the space echo in NI Guitar Rig that has a great vibe.
Gotta say the Waves J37 is my all time fave tape delay in the box.

The PSP 42 isn’t actually endorsed by Lexicon. There is a post on a well known forum where one of their engineers said he relayed that he didn’t think it sounded that close. But the next thing he knew PSP was marketing it as such.

This seems ridiculous to split up an article into 11 pages. Does anyone actually like clicking through to the next page 10 times?
