Dual tape looper with overdub, delay, and diffusion

20 HP Eurorack module

Lúbadh is a dual-channel tape looper with 9 minutes of recording time per deck, offering recording, overdubbing, looping, one-shot playback, delay, and tape decay modes. Inspired by analogue tape techniques, each channel adds subtle compression, filtering, and saturation for a warm, textured character that compounds with repeated overdubbing. The two decks are cross-normalised creating a feedback path ideal for deck bouncing, diffusion, and complex tape-style effects.
