UVI’s newly released Relayer plugin is an extreme example of a multi-tap delay effect with more features than you might guess at first glance. It’s an easy enough plugin to get started with, dialling in tempo-synced delay patches, but much of the real creative potential of Relayer lurks behind the time, gain, pan and effect panes of the main plugin window. Each pane allows you to sequence the parameters independently, creating wildly complex delay programs that modulate and evolve as the sound runs through the effect.
With up to 32 delay lines and independent modulation sequencing for each tap, Relayer must rank as one of the most powerful multi-tap delay effects on the market. The inclusion of a convolution-based colour section complete with a good range of built-in impulse responses just makes it even more versatile. In our recent review, we praised the plugin for its huge creative potential. Signals can be twisted way beyond what you’d expect from the typical delay effect, creating original sounds from the most unlikely sound sources.
Powerful doesn’t have to mean complicated. Relayer strikes the perfect balance between the two.

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 Looks like Roland have withdrawn the licences for Roland emulations or something?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?
