SPL's Machine Head is the finest digital tape saturator ever built. With the tone of tape becoming so popular in pro production circles, this discontinued hardware is in demand. Many plugin developers have tried and failed to capture the magic of its code, until now.

With the help of the latest advancements in hardware modelling, SPL and SoundArt worked together on the original code for Machine Head. The result is this very special plugin – nothing sounds closer to the studio hardware.
