Stardust 201 Tape Echo (Crossgrade from Mercury-4)

Cherry Audio Stardust 201 Tape Echo brings vintage tape delay character to modern productions, combining inspiration from the Roland RE-201 and RE-301 with expanded sound-shaping options. Its modeled tape response softens low and high frequencies, while subtle speed fluctuations add movement to the repeats. Push the intensity for spiraling feedback, or use modeled input overdrive to add grit. Seven virtual tape head modes, an extended delay range, tempo sync and LFO time modulation cover everything from rhythmic vocal echoes to drifting synth textures. Spring-style reverb and stereo BBD chorus add depth, while independent stereo tape head loops create wide spatial effects. A motor kill switch offers another way to manipulate echoes. It suits producers seeking warm, animated delays for guitars, keys, vocals and electronic tracks. This crossgrade edition is for existing Mercury-4 owners.
