TAL-Dub II: Return of the Legendary Vintage Delay from Togu Audio Line
Discover the charm of classic effects with TAL-Dub II – a vintage delay plugin from the renowned analog modeling masters, Togu Audio Line. If you aim to add depth, character, and warmth to your mixes, reminiscent of analog tape echo machines, TAL-Dub II will become your indispensable tool. This plugin doesn’t just imitate a delay; it recreates the soul of vintage equipment while offering modern flexibility and reliability.
TAL-Dub II is designed with the needs of contemporary musicians and sound engineers in mind. It’s perfect for processing vocals, guitars, synthesizers, drums – any instrument that requires space, rhythmic repetition, or a unique texture. With its intuitive interface, you can quickly dive into the creative process and find the exact sound you’re looking for.
Features That Shape a Unique Sound
At the heart of TAL-Dub II lies its ability to reproduce both rich and clean delay effects, complemented by its signature vintage coloration. Let’s take a closer look at the key components of this plugin:
Distortion and Saturation Section
One of the most exciting features of TAL-Dub II is its built-in distortion section with 4x oversampling. It allows you to add warm, saturated saturation or expressive vintage distortion to the delay repeats. This can range from a light “glue” that smooths the transition between repeats to more aggressive effects that give the sound a special “dirty” beauty. It’s important that the plugin is also capable of generating completely clean delays if you don’t need the vintage coloration.
LFO, Filters, and Modulation
To create moving, living textures, TAL-Dub II is equipped with a sinusoidal LFO (low-frequency oscillator). This LFO can modulate both the delay time, creating an effect similar to the “wow” and “flutter” of tape machines, and the cutoff frequency of the built-in low-pass filter. Additionally, stereo width adjustment for the LFO is provided, allowing you to create interesting panoramic effects. Filtering is represented by an analog 6dB low-pass filter with resonance and a 3dB high-pass filter. These filters allow you to shape the timbre of the repeats, making them darker, brighter, or narrower in range.
Connection and Control Flexibility
TAL-Dub II offers various signal routing options, opening a wide range of possibilities for experimentation. Synchronizing the delay time with your project’s tempo allows you to easily fit the effect into the rhythmic structure of the composition. A visual VU meter demonstrates the gain reduction level, helping to control the signal’s dynamics after distortion. The plugin also supports the MIDI Learn function for all knobs, making it convenient for automation and live performances. The package includes 20 high-quality factory presets, which will be a great starting point for your creative process, as well as detailed documentation to help you unlock the full potential of the plugin.
