Run it through the reel.
Real magnetic tape — hysteresis, head-bump, wow & flutter — with a single Wear knob that ages your sound from a pristine studio reel to a crinkled attic cassette.

The signature control
One knob. Pristine to destroyed.
Drag Wear and watch the tape age — warmth, hiss, high-frequency loss, and flutter come in together, exactly like the plugin. This is the heart of Oxidex.

Under the hood
Everything you need to make it sound analog.
Four modules of genuine tape behavior — not an EQ curve pretending to be warmth.
Saturation engine
- Magnetic hysteresis model with frequency-dependent behavior
- Oversampled S-curve saturation (2× / 4× / 8×), anti-aliased
- Three tape speeds — 7.5, 15 and 30 IPS
- Asymmetric clipping for natural even-harmonic warmth
Tone & texture
- Head Bump — resonant low-end lift that tracks tape speed
- Tilt EQ — dark to bright on a single knob
- Wear — wow/flutter, HF loss and dropouts, pristine to destroyed
- Tape Hiss and Vinyl Mode for period-correct noise
Performance FX
- Tape Stop / Start — one-button slowdown and spin-up
- Motor Pressure — momentary flange build with drive boost
- Tape Speed Shift — smooth glide between speeds
Workflow
- Auto-Gain matching for honest A/B — hear character, not volume
- Dry/Wet for parallel saturation, output trim with a safety limiter
- Flux Meter that thickens and glows with saturation
- Randomize, preset save/load, 22 factory presets, resizable UI
