NastyDLA is a free classic chorus VST plugin by Variety of Sound, which also features tape-delay simulation.
It features:
- Classic chorus and echo effects
- authentic signal path coloration
- Tape-delay style feedback and saturation
- input stage model including signal coloration and non-linearities (switchable)
- classic chorus/flanger effect with amount and rate control which automatically adapts 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 offer 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)
- audio level metering display
- dry/wet controls plus “wet only” option
- power/bypass switch
- all parameters available through host automation
Tips From The Developer:
- Use this device as an audio insert effect to take advantage of the input stage saturation and coloring for the whole signal and not only the wet portion
- If more straight saturation from the delay feedback loop is desired then switch the ducking mode on. This turns the internal compressors' sidechain straight to the plug-ins input and so it does not react anymore on the feedback loops signal. Now the saturator has to do the job on its own …
System Requirements:
- Win32 and VST only
