Waves H-Delay Hybrid Delay

Overview

The Waves H-Delay Hybrid Delay combines the flexibility of modern digital delay with the character of classic analog and tape-style effects. It can create everything from subtle slapback and short ambience to rhythmic echoes, filtered repeats, modulation effects, and expansive stereo delays.

Designed for fast operation and creative control, H-Delay is widely suited to vocals, guitars, synths, drums, sound design, and mix-bus effects.
