Add Epic Depth to Your Mixes

The secret to space, depth, and dimension in your mixes is to blend different delays and reverbs on the same track, and route them smartly to each other. Your vocals, drums, synths, and guitars will easily get the rich depth they deserve.

Studio legend Chris Lord-Alge (Muse, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen) is a master at creating epic space and dimension in every song. Now, you have the key to that depth: CLA’s entire suite of 4 go-to reverbs and 4 go-to delays, based on his best studio hardware—in one epic yet easy-to-use plugin.

4 Delays. 4 Reverbs. CLA’s Go-to Gear.

We collaborated with Chris Lord-Alge on meticulous sonic re-creations of his favorite hardware for reverb and delay—expensive and often rare units by Lexicon, Bricasti, Eventide, Sony, AMS, Ursa Major, and more. All sounds are available in CLA Epic, replicating the combinations Chris uses in his mixes.

Easily Stack & Blend Your Delays & Reverbs

Masters of mixing know that the secret to epic reverb effects is stacking and layering different delays and reverbs. CLA Epic brings you that richness: Blend all eight modules easily with the plugin’s faders, and send any delay to any number of reverbs with the click of a button.

CROWD and PLATE

The CROWD delay is like early reflections that grow in size and width as they decay. Send this into reverb, for an attack that’s more lush, rich, and detailed than traditional early reflections.

The PLATE is based on Chris’s go-to lead vocal reverb, with control over pre-delay, reverb time and low/high-frequency damping (RT).

TAPE and HALL

The TAPE delay module provides a rich, fat delay effect. Two separate effects (Tap 1 and Tap 2) each have different time, sync, feedback and offset controls.

The HALL reverb is a classic effect, with the same controls as the plate but with a very different EQ curve.

SLAP and ROOM

The SLAP delay features 3 EQ slopes (analog tape speeds), selectable between 7.5, 15 and 30 ips.

CLA’s room reverb sound is the result of several different reverb units sent together to the same bus. ROOM recreates this unique sound, with pre-delay, reverb time and damping controls.

THROW and SPACE

The THROW delay has similar controls to TAPE, but its tap inputs can be triggered manually or with automation. Use it to apply delay to a specific note, word, or sound.

SPACE is a non-linear reverb, with decay from 0.04 to 3.5 ms. At its highest setting, it becomes a sensational-sounding gated reverb.
