AudioThing has launched Echo Cube, a new delay plugin for 2026 inspired by the rare Cooper Time Cube analog echo unit. The plugin emulates the unique sound of tube-based echo, where delay is created by sending audio through long coiled tubes—authentically replicating the natural propagation of sound in air. Echo Cube is available now from AudioThing and authorized dealers, including Plugin Boutique.
What Changed With Echo Cube
Echo Cube offers a distinct flavor of delay not found in conventional digital models. Instead of using digital tap delays or feedback controls alone, Echo Cube recreates the hardware’s tube-driven timing, saturation, and subtle modulation. AudioThing’s emulation comes from direct access to a genuine Cooper Time Cube, ensuring maximum realism for mixing engineers, producers, and creative sound designers.
