Great sounding delay
Delays are tricky. To my ears, most just sound average. They impart nothing, no matter how much you tweak the settings or fiddle with eq or ducking effects.
The EP-34 sounds good. It's got plenty of functionality, but right from when you put it in a track, it sounds good. That's all I need, stuff that does what it should and sounds good doing it. Nice one, UA.

99% real 110% More reliable!!!!
This thing is dead up like my real one... but sits better in a mix because its a plug in, no mechanical noise, and it works every time!!! SO thats awesome... can be used to add depth and space to about anything, plus all the funky tricks!!! for sure my " Most Fun" Plug in!!!!!

As useful as the real thing
I demoed this EP-34 on a project, and immediately bought it. I've used the hardware version for years, both live and in the studio, and the EP-34 Tape Echo Plug-In sounds and responds like the modeled hardware, along with the quirks and artifacts. Having the ability to overload the input via the recording level gives me the ability to be expressive with the plug in. And...no banging on it to get the tape moving!
I wish it had a stereo version since I often use two of these plug ins set slightly differently to get stereo effects.

Stacks!
Ive been stacking these now and the effect is pretty fantastic. I love using varying amounts of each of the stacks to give really subtle yet big space. Right on again, guys.

EP 34
Isn't it funny, I wondered how the late Tommy Bolin got all those strange noises out of his guitar. Well I'm confident he had a echoplex on his side.
All those spaceships taking off are made just by tweaking the echoplex, Within a few minutes I created those sounds also with this really great EP34 plugin.
Even when not inputting a sound at all, but by just tweaking the knobs you get really great results.

Best Echo In Musicville
I owned the Echoplex hardware unit back in the day and I remember replacing the tape loop often. The UA version sounds much better and is more versatile. I love it and use it on guitars, vocals and keyboards.

Great!
Great delay, easy to use, lots of vibe. It is a great compliment to the Space Echo.

Good sounding but limited
I'm kinda mixed about this plugin. On the one side, it is the best sounding tape delay plugin I've heard, on the other side it is about as limited as the hardware.
I've found that by using Logics Delay Designer and the UAD Ampex plug I can get just as good of a tape delay with far greater control and flexibility. It's like having the best of both worlds. Lush panned delays with realistic tape degradation wow and flutter. The only downside would be the DSP usage, but the EP-34 isn't easy on the DSP either.
This does have the ability to self-oscillate just like the original. But that effect has been over used already so I don't feel like I'm missing out.
Would be great if UA took this knowledge and made a tape delay with modern features.

Perfect!
it´s my first tape delay. It´s amazing! Sounds so different from others delays.

Really lovely tape echo
I have been looking for a great tape echo plugin for some time now, and felt that I had found some ok ones, but I was looking for something that was truly great and I feel that I have found it in the EP-34.
Playing with this I find a lot of cool effects and inspiration on many different sources, but for my electronica it tends to be on mostly synth parts and can give some warmth to synth plugins.
I would recommend it over emulations of the Roland.

Automate this!
Wow, great vibe! Cool for subtle delay effects, but even more awesome if you automate this! An instant portal into space.

creative germ
I have never touched the hardware version and can't say how the software is close to original sound. Frankly speaking I don’t care. What I actually prize is the creative potential it delivers to my live performance. I use ableton live + push + Apollo Twin Duo + hardware synths and I love the sound and mobility of that setup. EP-34 is really amazing and easy to use. Thanks UA!

Chasing your tail
As with most of the UAD plugins you have pretty good idea what your getting into when you buy a plug in. Its going to sound dam close to the real deal for starters and you know that! what you don't always know is how usable they are really going to be.
Its warm, its fluid and idiot proof, the elusive tail that is so hard to realistically create when using other delays is immediately available with the EP34.
Yes it will do your great Floyd like Gilmore twangs but there is more here than just a guitar delay.
Put it this way. A sunset on a clear sky is a glorious thing. But add a couple of clouds to that and suddenly you are in the sunset not looking at it.

Works as anticipated
This is easy to use like the old boxes. Intuitive controls allow you to dial in nice warm delay.

Perfectly imperfect!
Sounds so good, I ditched my real one! I don't miss the fan noise, that's for sure ;) MIDI mapping to my controller (via novation's automap) is a breeze and having the tempo sync is a nice added bonus, but the most awesome thing about it is it's unpredictability - just like the old units. So much character!

EP-34 Tape echo
Really cool unit , very old school delay ... Super analog sound ..!!!
J. Hollander
so DSP hungry!
I love the sound.. presets are inspiring enough, and easy to tweak. Sync is AWESOME.. only complaint is that it cripples my Duo DSP. This guy is power hungry, but sounds incredible.
