I'm talking about the free AU version of the Massey Tapehead plug-in. I love this thing.

Sometime in the last few months, EQ magazine did a survey article on tape saturation plug-ins. You might want to check it out.

I've used it for bass, guitar, drums, vocals, and on entire mixes. It's very flexible and can be used in a variety of ways. I think the best thing you can do is try the demo. Once you do, you'll probably buy it.
