From the minds at Thenatan, the creators of the beloved Tape Piano, comes your new go-to virtual instrument — Tape Guitar.
Crafted for producers who live in that mellow, soulful, and vintage zone, Tape Guitar is built to deliver deeply textured guitar melodies that feel like memories pressed to wax.
From dusty vinyl-inspired chords to washed-out ambient leads, Tape Guitar delivers instant emotion and vibe — no crate digging required.
At the heart of Tape Guitar are 4 powerful samplers, each loaded with over 200 multi-sampled instruments — including real, analog guitars, experimental textures, and rare string tones you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re making a chill beat, lo-fi groove, R&B slow jam or ambient score, these sounds are designed to cut straight to the emotion.
Shape your sound with:
- ADSR, EQ, Filters, Pan, Pitch, and Reverse on every sampler.
- Each sampler includes a curated dropdown menu filled with the best recorded sounds — from lush pads, ambient FX, and guitar pick transients, to unique textures and tones ready to inspire.
Add soulful imperfections with Stretch, Filter, Crush, and Width controls. Instantly inject warmth, vinyl grit, or dreamy motion into any sound.
Choose from 40+ real-world textures like Vinyl Crackle, Broken Radio, Rainfall, and Neon Buzz — or load your own and create your own vibe
Don’t vibe with the built-in ones?
No problem — just load your own textures into the sampler and layer them right on top of your guitar patches for a custom, signature feel.
Bring your patches to life with Tape Guitar’s built-in modulation system — no third-party plugins needed.
Choose from 6 expressive mod tools:
- Pumper (Sidechain-style bounce)
- Panner (Dreamy stereo motion)
- Pitcher (Subtle or wild pitch drift)
- Wobbler (That tape-style movement)
- Dropout (Random analog-style glitches)
- Velocity Mod (Add dynamic soul to every note)
Whether you’re aiming for smooth soul or lo-fi grit, modulation is just a few clicks away.
Out the box, Tape Guitar comes stacked with 160 diamond-quality presets — each crafted to spark a song on its own. From mellow intros to soulful hooks and dusty loops, every preset is a vibe in itself. Open one, and you’re already halfway to a masterpiece.
