Safari Pedals Rabbit Tape V2 Vintage Modulation, Warmth And Tape Saturation Plugin.
Rabbit Tape V2 is a tape emulation plugin designed to bring the warmth, saturation, compression, and imperfections of vintage magnetic tape into digital productions. From subtle harmonic enhancement and mix bus cohesion to unstable, distorted lo-fi textures, it offers a versatile range of analog-inspired processing. The V2 edition features two distinct tape machine models, selectable tape speeds, refined processing algorithms, and expanded creative controls for shaping the tonal character and movement of a recording.
Choose between the America model for rich, warm coloration and the Germany model for tighter, more precise tape character. Selectable speeds of 7.5 and 15 IPS provide different saturation and tonal responses, while Wow & Flutter introduce organic pitch variation. Grit and Drop Outs controls recreate the imperfections of worn tape, ranging from subtle irregularities to pronounced, unpredictable degradation. A custom filter provides additional tonal shaping, and vintage-style VU meters offer visual signal monitoring.
The updated V2 interface includes a preset browser with folders, tags, favorites, and search, alongside Smart Gain, Link Gain, A/B comparison, and short-term LUFS metering. Oversampling helps reduce aliasing, while optimized processing improves CPU efficiency. Rabbit Tape V2 is suitable for adding analog character to vocals, drums, synthesizers, individual tracks, and mix buses.
