NastyDLA is a classic chorus echo device with tape-delay simulation.
  • classic chorus and echo effects
  • authentic signal path coloration
  • tape-delay style feedback and saturation
Use this device as an audio insert effect to take advantage of the input stage saturation and coloring for the whole signal and not only the wet portion. If more straight saturation from the delay feedback loop is desired then switch the ducking mode on. This turns the internal compressors sidechain straight to the plug-ins input and so it does not react anymore on the feedback loops signal. Now the saturator has to do the job on its own …

Unbelievable! The best analog-style-tape-delay. For free. I have some paid RE201-emulations and this sounds so much sweeter and more analog.

Try taking the .dll out of its folder and moving it up a level.

One of my favorite delays and the only one that comes close to the analog delay in my dear Vox Delaylab pedal. Well, maybe it's even better!

Sweet plugin!! I've been awaiting the 64bit build for some time now so am over the moon this has finally come out. Beats the crap out of some of the expensive analogue emulations out there. It has bags of character, which is what I look for in reverb/delay/echo plugins. Infinite evolving feedback for psychedelic/dub/atmos too, but with lots of imperfections in the feedback loop to create interesting results. My only criticism is that the "retro" mod is panned hard right, so requires a bit of routing to fix (unless you want that). And also no pan controls at all for any of the other settings, which would be amazing as it does have 2 separate delay circuits. Highly recommend...

I love the range of effects the Nasty DLA can produce and the sound is high quality. If used on a single track it seems to work brilliantly. However, I have discovered that when used on multiple tracks simultaneously it causes terrible noise problems (crackles, hiss, static etc) making the mix completely unlistenable. I use Reaper for my DAW, so maybe this is just a Reaper issue but have found the only solution is to just use it sparingly and just on a single track. Wish I could give it 5 stars but can't.

Amazing tool. With a little bit tweaking turn any track to magic.

This is amazing! Years ago I wrote a song that relied on a _real_ tape echo on a lead guitar piece. I timed it so that as I played, it "played along" and made the whole piece sound far more complex than it was. I wrote the song in a sequencer, but could never repeat that effect. Now I can. Thank you.

My favorite delay in my vst toolkit. Had a time figuring out what each selection does, but works like a charm! Kudos to the developer..

It took me some time to learn how to use it (I am an idiot) but once I got what all controls do and how they interact with each other - wow. It does what you expect it to do and sooo much more.

Probably not my first choice for natural chorus or delay but my first choice as a delay effect for vocal and if needed for guitar and synths also.

Excellent sound, and features, like all the Variety of Sound plugs. Try it with vocals, or an acoustic guitar, or piano, or...: Wow!
