SuperTap is a multi-head tape echo built around 6 independent stereo delay lines. Waves describes it as doing everything the vintage multi-head hardware did, with far more room to shape the result.
Multi-head tape delays defined the spacey echo sound, and SuperTap is Waves' answer to that format. Each of the 6 delay lines is a full-function line, so you can stack them for slapback, early reflections or long trails.
The maker lists solos, polyrhythms, thick slapback and early reflections as the territory it covers.
SuperTap gives you six separate delay lines, each fully featured, with times reaching 4958 ms that you can set by tapping or lock to your host's tempo. Every line has its own filter with six curve choices for shaping its tone, plus feedback controls that can push a line into self-oscillation. Modulation adds chorus-like movement to the repeats, and a tap tempo button with 6x multiplication helps you build polyrhythmic patterns. That means you can darken a long repeat while leaving a short slap bright.
Panning is rotation-based, which Waves says preserves the right and left channel levels. When you move a line around the stereo field, the level of each side stays intact.
The feedback section can run into self-oscillation, which adds rhythmic, analog-style effects on top of the repeats. Add the modulation and you get lush, chorused echoes rather than clean copies of the input.
On Mac, SuperTap runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, you need Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
