tape-op is an 8hp, 100% analog tube & tape distortion with an integrated baxandall equalizer that can be routed before or after the distortion effect. while it is analog, there are no tubes or tape behind the panel - here ssf has designed a discrete op-amp with class-a output stage with multi-diode ladder to emulate the
characteristics of vacuum tubes and analog tape saturation. additional features include a final stage zener hard limit switch for additional distortion and headroom limiting, a built in voltage controlled amplifier with trim and tape bias controls that together with the eq and saturation; can provide a huge variety of colorful
saturated tones and compression effects.
