Very cool unit, it's really like to have an eq and a compressor at the same time, shinning in a drum bus or in any other type of applications such as basses, guitars, synths, bronzes and as a final color for a mix.

Sound Skulptor TS500 Tape Simulator

It is an analog processor that recreates the sonic imprint of vintage tape recorders. The effect provides the roundness, the punch, the compression and the saturation of magnetic tape. It is a mono unit, two are used for stereo.

The TS500 includes the electronics of a vintage tape recorder with input transformer, variable gain input stage, pre-emphasis stage, recording amplifier, constant current driven tape head, playback amplifier, NAB de-emphasis stage and a pure class A output stage driving the output transformer.

The TS500 can simulate a tape recorder rolling at 3 different speeds: 7.5 ips, 15 ips and 30 ips. Each speed gives a different frequency response.

The tape can be chosen between 3 formulations giving 3 levels of saturation from light to heavy.
