FabFilter Timeless 3 is a versatile tape delay with a classic sound that will completely satisfy your daily delay needs. And with its unique effects, filters, tap patterns, and unlimited modulation options, you can easily turn it into the ultimate sound destruction machine!

Vintage Filters and Creative Effects

The stereo delay signal is routed through five unique effects and up to six analog sound filters and then routed back to the input with adjustable feedback. Easily program your own delays using the well-designed controls and interactive delay and filter displays.

Easy drag-and-drop modulation

Easily set up ducking, wow and flutter, dynamic diffusion, or more creative effects using Timeless's unique and versatile modulation system. Creating new modulation connections couldn't be easier: simply drag and drop.
