Waves SuperTap

Waves SuperTap - Digital Delay Plugin | Recreate Classic Tape Echo, Create Infinite Rhythmic Possibilities

Waves SuperTap is an extremely powerful delay effect. It's more than just a simple echo generator; it's a formidable tool for sound design and rhythmic creation. It perfectly captures the warm, full, and spacious soul of classic multi-head tape delay machines and combines it with the precise control and endless possibilities of modern digital technology. Whether you want to add epic spaciousness to a guitar solo or create complex and interesting polyrhythms for a synthesizer, SuperTap delivers unparalleled flexibility and an intuitive user experience.

The core of this plugin lies in its six fully independent stereo delay lines (Taps), each of which can be individually adjusted for time, volume, pan, filtering, and feedback. This design allows you to go beyond the limitations of traditional delays, effortlessly achieving everything from simple slapback effects and subtle early reflections to dynamic rhythmic delay patterns. Combined with powerful modulation features and BPM sync, Waves SuperTap is undoubtedly the ultimate solution in every music producer's, mixing engineer's, and sound designer's toolkit for sculpting spatial effects.

Key Features & Applications

Classic Tape Sound, Modern Recreation
SuperTap inherits the essence of legendary tape delay machines, producing a warm, analog tone with a hint of saturation. Its unique feedback path and filter design bring every echo to life, adding a vintage and captivating texture to your tracks.

Unparalleled Six Independent Delay Lines
With six independently controllable stereo taps, you can build complex delay effects like stacking blocks. You can precisely set the timing, stereo position, and volume of each echo, creating depth and width unattainable with traditional single-delay effects.

Rich Modulation and Filter Shaping
The built-in LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) and independent high/low-pass filters for each tap open new doors for sound design. You can create flowing chorus effects through modulation or use the filters to make echoes gradually blur or clarify over time, enriching the sound's dynamics.

Versatile Applications, from Subtle to Extreme
SuperTap's range of applications is extremely wide. It can add natural space and thickness to vocals, create vast backdrops for guitar solos, design groovy rhythmic patterns for drums and percussion, or build evolving sonic textures for synthesizer sounds.
