Key Features
The Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo is a stunning recreation of the iconic Roland RE-201 Space Echo unit from the 1970s. Painstakingly crafted to capture the physical behaviour of the hardware counterpart, this plug-in offers an exhaustive emulation of the warm, warped, and analog echo effects that made the original so legendary.
Faithfully recreated, the Galaxy Tape Echo features all the parameters found on the hardware counterpart, including the input drive control to add grit, texture, and fat analog character to drums, vocals and more along with the ability to access seemingly infinite wow, flutter, and pitch-shifting combinations to create unique and immersive sounds. Its versatility makes it suitable for a myriad of genres, with a specific focus on 70s psychedelic rock and progressive music.
In addition to its faithful recreation of the original unit, the Galaxy Tape Echo features modern enhancements for contemporary producers. With Tempo Sync and Pan controls for the reverb and delay portion of the plug-in, you have even more control to shape and manipulate your sound.

Step into a world of classic analog goodness with the Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo. This meticulously crafted device faithfully reproduces every quirk and characteristic of the original hardware, ensuring that you can achieve truly vintage sounds with ease. Whether you want to add some grit to a vocal, give your drum bus a fat analog character, or create swirling trails of delay, the Galaxy Tape Echo is the secret sauce that will take your music to the next level.
The Galaxy Tape Echo stays true to the controls of the original hardware. With the original Mode Selector, you can experiment with various head combinations to find your perfect sound. The Repeat Rate control gives you precise timing control, while the Intensity knob allows you to dial in the desired amount of repeats and self-oscillation. Additionally, the Echo/Normal switch lets you mute the signal to the echo, providing further control over your sound. The global Bass and Treble controls allow you to tailor the tone to your liking, ensuring that every aspect of your sound is finely tuned.
In addition to faithfully capturing the eccentricities of the original hardware, the Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo introduces several new features to expand your creative possibilities. The Tempo Sync feature ensures that your echoes stay perfectly aligned with your song's tempo, making it easier than ever to achieve a tight and cohesive sound. The Pan controls for reverb and delay enable you to add a sense of space and movement to your mix, further enhancing your sonic landscape. And with the Tape Select feature, you can experiment with different delay timbres, allowing you to craft unique and captivating sounds.
