"It works! I'm definitely going to use this. I really like the overbias and vintage ones. It's good sounds that we need, slight compression. This is very useful." - Brian Kehew (Tape expert)
"Tape J-37 does exactly what you want it to but goes above and beyond as a creative tool on any source." - Ilan Rubin (Drummer - Nine Inch Nails)
"They have a special sound, it's not just the fact it's tape, it's the preamps - they had a certain "mojo" that's been perfectly captured by Arturia. The plugin gets you the sound you want/ It's really a secret sauce for low-end." - Steve Levine (Producer / Engineer - Culture Club, Beach Boys)
"Tape J-37 is great for adding just that bit of warmth and saturation. Perfect for fattening up toms, bass guitar and vocals. The delay function gives a great vintage slap sound. The user interface is easy to use with the ability to really tweak the sound and come up with something completely unique." - Tom Lord Alge (Composer / Producer / Engineer - Blink 182, Sum 41)
