What It Does

Reel Deal simulates the sound of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines. It adds warmth, saturation, and subtle character that makes digital recordings sound more natural and cohesive.

This effect is based on an advanced, physical simulation of magnetic tape properties.

• Variable tape speeds (3.75 - 15 ips) for different tones
• Input and output gain controls
• VST3 + CLAP formats
• macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon), Windows, Linux

Sound

• 15 ips: Bright and clean, minimal coloration
• 7.5 ips: Classic warm tape sound

Lower speeds sound darker. Higher speeds are brighter.
