SSL Native X-Echo by Solid State Logic brings 1960s-inspired tape delay character to modern productions. Its echoes blend analogue warmth with adjustable saturation, while Wow & Flutter adds the pitch movement and instability associated with mechanical tape transport. Four switchable tape heads and tempo-synced note values make it easy to shape rhythmic repeats for vocals, guitars, synths and drums. Push feedback beyond 100% for self-oscillating textures, or use Freeze and Kill to create dramatic risers and drops. A one-knob Diffusion control introduces reverb, helping repeats spread into atmospheric washes. The built-in de-esser keeps sibilant frequencies under control, and waveform visualisation shows how the tape heads interact. With A/B comparison, preset management and undo/redo, X-Echo suits producers who want vintage delay colour alongside practical tools for experimenting and refining their sound.
