AudioThing has introduced a delay plugin that is inspired by a rare analog device that generated echo by pushing sound through long coiled tubes, with delay time defined purely by the physical propagation of sound in air.
The Echo Cube emulation is based on an original Cooper Time Cube unit from the AudioThing collection, in excellent condition, fully serviced and carefully maintained.
Echo Cube is a dual delay plugin inspired by the Cooper Time Cube, a rare analog delay system that achieved echo without tape or electronic delay circuits scush as BBDs. The original unit created delay by sending audio through long coiled tubes, where time was defined by the physical propagation of sound through air.
Echo Cube recreates and expand this concept with two independent delay lines, A and B, each offering dedicated time, feedback, and level controls. Three models are available: Time Cube faithfully recreates the original hardware, while Garden Hose and Corrugated are experimental, DIY inspired variations designed for sound design, expanding on the physical principles of the original unit.
Echo Cube for Windows, macOS and Linux (VST/VST3, AU, AAX, and CLAP) is on sale at Plugin Boutique and from the AudioThing store for the intro price of 29 USD/EUR until April 30th, 2026 (regular 59 USD/EUR).
