Polish developers D16 Group must rank as one of the most reliable software companies around. In addition to their range of superb Roland synth and drum machine emulations, they also make a range of effects, some inspired by vintage hardware and others taking a looser approach, incorporating original ideas to create unique takes on classic effects like chorus, flanger and reverb.
Sigmund is one of the more recent additions to D16’s effect line-up, offering four delay lines which can be combined in a series of algorithms to create everything from bog-standard echoes through to chorus, flanger and other modulation effects. The inclusion of features such as multi-mode filters, two modulation sections and overdrive makes Sigmund superbly versatile for a huge range of purposes.
One of the best all-rounders on the market, Sigmund works well on most signals you throw at it.

I always loved Nomad Factory’s “Echoes”. Just a beautiful sounding bit of kit. Fxpansion’s “Bloom” is equally lovely, just ridiculously complex with it.
Love it that there’s a shout out for “Ratshack Reverb” too. I put that on so many of my tracks, I think I need an intervention….

I was just about to question the lack of UAD Space Echo, then I noticed they’ve discontinued it. Anyone know what’s happened there? Looks like Roland have withdrawn the licences for Roland emulations or something? I’m guessing they’re going to release plugins of their own…

Also missing Valhalla Ubermod, more than just delay. I didn’t know about the UVI one, seems great.

Echoboy is incredible, definitely one of my desert island plugins. I lot of the time I don’t even use it as a delay, turning the echo time to 0ms and tweaking the saturation settings to get awesome lo-fi tape warmth and wobble. Echoboy is more than a plugin, its an instrument.

Wow you’re right Spicer, good thing I finally just purchased it a couple weeks ago when it was on sale.

Hey Spicer there is an emulation of the space echo in NI Guitar Rig that has a great vibe.
Gotta say the Waves J37 is my all time fave tape delay in the box.

The PSP 42 isn’t actually endorsed by Lexicon. There is a post on a well known forum where one of their engineers said he relayed that he didn’t think it sounded that close. But the next thing he knew PSP was marketing it as such.

This seems ridiculous to split up an article into 11 pages. Does anyone actually like clicking through to the next page 10 times?
