The Rabbit Tape Black Friday deal from Safari Audio puts 37% off the V2 tape emulation plugin, at $49 until Nov 30, 2026.
Rabbit Tape V2 is built around the unstable, moving character of vintage tape machines, and it runs in the box. The maker describes it as vintage modulation, warmth and tape saturation in one plugin.
You choose between two machine types, America and Germany. The maker pitches them as a classic American glow on one side and German precision on the other.
The core of the plugin is the tape behaviour you can dial in. You get Wow and Flutter, Grit, Drop Outs and tape Noise, plus a Speed character control.
Pick between 7.5 and 15 IPS for the tape speed. Custom Filter and Width controls shape the result further, and vintage VU meters sit on the interface to show you what the signal is doing.
The maker says the range runs from clean saturation to wild, decaying textures.
V2 comes with a completely redesigned interface and a new preset system. A new oversampling algorithm has been added as well.
The metering and level tools are also part of the update:
Those make it easier to judge the tape effect at matched loudness instead of just louder.
The maker recommends it on full mixes, drums, vocals and bass, wherever you want a nostalgic analog glue.
The Drop Outs and Wow and Flutter controls also let you push a source well past gentle saturation. Dial them up on a send or a bus when you want movement and decay rather than just tone.
