Solid State Logic Launches New Creative Tool With Vintage Vibes: SSL Native X-Echo Plug-In

Inspired by vintage hardware delays, brought up-to-date with SSL advanced workflow, X-Echo Plug-in is a new tool aimed at musicians, producers and engineers and is part of the growing SSL Complete Bundle Subscription

Oxford, England, October 28, 2021 — Solid State Logic announces its latest plug-in release: SSL Native X-Echo. The new plug-in, which is inspired by the sound of legendary tape delays of the ‘60s and ‘70s is available now in several formats including VST2, VST3, AAX and AU at a cost of $199 or as part of the SSL Complete Bundle Subscription from $14.99 per/m (Ts&Cs apply). X-Echo will be available for the first 30 days with an introductory 25% discount.

X-Echo is inspired by the distinctive sound of early tape delay hardware of the 1960s and 1970s, while introducing SSL's advanced workflow and host of forward-thinking production tools. Able to effortlessly deliver traditional tape delay effects like swirling echoes and classic slap back, X-Echo is also capable of more contemporary creative delays effects commonly found in electronic music. Practical and creative features include 4 switchable tape heads syncable to note value, DAW or MS with a single click, classic SSL style saturation, built-in de-esser, advanced waveform visualization and a brand-new ‘lo-fi’ SSL reverb processor.

Jonathan Sandman, Product Manager - SSL Studio Plug-in comments "The depth of different delay effects you can create with SSL Native X-Echo - from vintage grunge and shoegaze, to rhythmic and clean modern echoes - marks only the beginning of many more creative plug-in offerings from SSL that are currently in the works."

X-Echo combines tape-style signal degradation and soft compression with classic SSL-style distortion characteristics, accessible with dedicated 'Wow & Flutter' and 'Saturation' controls. The plug-in also features ‘Feedback’ control and 'Freeze' and 'Kill' functions, ideal for controlling delay length and buildups.

Other features of X-Echo include EQ Loop / filtering and SSL Mix Lock. There is a custom 'Diffusion' control, as well as a built-in in ‘De-esser’ — useful for controlling buildups of energy at certain frequencies and sibilance that tape echoes often accentuate. X-Echo's also includes unique ‘Stereo Width’ processor which uses a custom phase shifting technique, allowing users to control the width of their delay lines.
