The original bucket-brigade dub delay. Dual-time stereo, ping-pong, LFO modulation, saturation, and a tempo-synced looper with overdubbing and reverse.
Dubstation has been a fixture in dub, electronic, and pop production for nearly twenty years. It emulates the analog bucket-brigade delays of the 1970s and 80s, with their pitch-bending, warmth, and gradual high-frequency loss intact, then adds things those circuits could never do: true stereo dual-time delays, ping-pong, a stereo LFO, and a clean digital looper with overdub and reverse.
Sound and Character
The bucket-brigade model is the real thing: the high-cut frequency tightens as delay time gets longer, exactly like the original hardware. A low-cut filter trims the bass for the thin echoes of early Jamaican dub. A saturation stage on the feedback path adds analog-style breakup as repeats stack up, and the LFO modulates delay time for chorus, flange, and pitch swoops.
Looper and Reverse
The LOOP switch turns Dubstation into a clean digital looper that holds the buffer indefinitely and accepts overdubs. This is different from cranking the feedback, which degrades and distorts the signal over time. The REVERSE switch flips the delay memory backwards, and combined with the looper produces reverse loops that hold their fidelity indefinitely.

This is now my main delay effect on my hybrid Loopy Pro Electric guitar Pedalboard. I’m hosting Tonex Max plugin and various effect apps for my worship Pedalboard. But delay is my most fun effect. This app seriously has pushed it to the next level.I highly recommend this app MM4C
Great when it’s not crashing

I own every Audio Damage app for iOS, and I have to this for all of them across the board, while they sound great, they are un reliable and susceptible to crashing and other issues when it comes to mixing down projects in a lot of iOS Daws. I like Audio Damage products a lot but there seems to be a lot lacking in quality control.
Great plugin, sound and UI
GadgetMojo
Check out some YouTube videos of it in action. I’ll just say that I very much recommend it. What you can’t “hear” from the videos is Efficiency. And when it comes to iPads that’s super important because you can get cracking sounds crashes etc when plugin consumes too much resources. Recently bought couple of fx (from another dev), both were great sounding but horrible at resource usage when those plugins are opened (so that you can adjust them) they cause crackling sounds. I have 8 AU plugins and one synth from Audio Damage and all are quite efficient with Filterstation2 probably the heaviest of the bunch, and still works fine unless I really load a lot of different apps/fx.
Horrible GUI graphical layout and size
Vata 44
The GUI does not fit the whole screen on the iPhone or the iPad and makes it really annoying to manipulate small knobs and graphics.
v2.4
• New Sync Source toggle picks between Host BPM (the default) and Tap. When set to Tap, a TAP button
appears next to the preset name; tap three times to set the delay tempo. The button shows the running
BPM once a tempo has been published.
• MIDI tap lets you drive the tap-tempo button from a MIDI note or CC. Choose between Note and CC and
set the note/CC number in the new Settings panel.
• Mix Lock padlock added to the right of the Mix knob. Engage it to keep the current Mix value when
loading presets, so a preset switch never yanks your wet/dry balance.
• Preset browser replaced with Audio Damage’s current shared browser, matching the rest of the product
line. Includes folder navigation, copy/paste of preset state, import/export of zipped folders, and random-
name generation.
• Default preset: save a user preset named Default and Dubstation 2 will open every new instance
with those settings instead of the hardcoded factory state.
• 30 new factory presets added.
• Fix: Low Cut now restores correctly on project load in every host. The filter cutoff was being clobbered by
the filter init that ran after state restoration; the filter now re-applies its parameter value once the host has
handed us the sample rate.
• Fix: Width now restores correctly from saved presets and tracks automation. The preset loader’s version
gate was treating every recent preset as legacy and forcing Width back to 100% on load.
