Slate Digital Stellar Echo SD-201 meticulously recreates the beloved sound of the iconic Japanese-made 3-head vintage tape delay units. Its intuitive layout closely mirrors original hardware, giving you a hands-on feel, so dialling in authentic vintage tones feels natural. With adjustable Wow & Flutter, you control how much vintage tape character to inject into your sound. Precisely tweakable EQ, input noise, and filtering options further refine your delay texture, effortlessly adding vintage warmth and distinctive charm to your tracks. SD-201 provides realistic tape-delay response directly in your DAW, blending vintage feel with modern convenience.
The Stellar Echo SD-201 goes beyond classic tape echo with a flexible, customisable 4-head mode. Unlike the original vintage hardware, you have full control over head timing and placement. This freedom allows limitless creativity in shaping rhythmic patterns and layering repeats.

With these creative tools at your fingertips, Stellar Echo SD-201 makes crafting unique, character-rich delays simple and intuitive, perfect for musicians and producers exploring new sonic territories.

With these intuitive stereo controls, you easily add movement, depth, and energy to your productions.

"Slate Digital’s Stellar Echo is an instant vibe for any mix that I do. It’s like having a time machine that turns your vocals delays into gold.” - Albert “Lamont Sincere” Brown (Wiz Khalifa, Duke Deuce, Lil Yachty, GlorRilla)
"Cranking the wow/flutter created these organic echoes…textural instead of repetitive. The reverb let me add a little more ambience without introducing additional transients.” - Bill Evans (Steve Morse, Alice Cooper, Joe Bonamassa)
"This is by far the best emulation I’ve used. You can tweak the sound so much more with Stellar Echo and having more than just a Spring reverb for an option is amazing. The UI is also incredible.” - Mick Schultz (Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Jeremih)
