With it being listed as a modulation effect, I don't know if Line 6 made it for the exact purpose I use tape plugins, but I'm excited to experiment and see if I could make it a nice "Pixy dust" finisher at the end of the chain.

I'll have to do more experimenting with the relation of saturation and textures levels to each other, and see if I can find a magical combination. That shows Line 6 was interested in the nuances of tape effects. I like that includes selectable tape speeds 7.5,15, and 30 IPS. I'm not one for super scooped mids, but additional controls in the effect for that frequency would be nice. In my findings briefly testing it out, if you use the Saturation subtly it pronouncedly raises the mids. Whether you want to smooth, improve, shape, warm up, beef up, dirty up, or do other creative things with your mixes, getting the plug-ins you need is now easier and more affordable than ever with Avid Audio Plug-In Activation Card Tier 1.

Tape plugins bring a nice "3D" quality to digital tracks. Doing a lot of home studio recording, more often than not I would add a tape saturation plugin to guitar tracks. I freaked out when I heard that Helix 3.10 had a tape saturation effect with Retro Reel.
