## What is Dubstation 2?

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.

Features

>> Single, dual-time, and ping-pong modes
>> Tempo-synced or millisecond timing, with dotted and triplet values
>> 4 ms to 2 second delay range with X2 switch
>> Bucket-brigade modeling with delay-dependent high-cut filter
>> Low-cut filter from 100 Hz to 1.5 kHz
>> LFO modulation of delay time, 0.01 to 5 Hz
>> Saturation on the feedback path
>> Tempo-synced stereo looper with sound-on-sound and reverse
>> Stereo width control
>> Factory and user presets, shareable with the desktop version via XML
>> Optimized for low CPU usage on older devices

### 4/5 — После обновления вылетает :///

*2026-05-20*

Увы но на iOS12 и  14 слетает не запускается не работает нигде и никак  ///// после последнего обновления 
Ни в AUM ни при обычном запуске не работает

### 5/5 — Best Update Ever

*2026-05-13*

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

### 5/5 — Ich mag alles von Audio Damage

*2023-05-25*

…tut in AUM in mehreren Kanälen

### 5/5 — Top quality DUB

*2023-03-20, version 2.0.6*

Over the years I’ve bought many Audio Damage apps, but ultimately found that only a couple met my personal requirements. This is, of course, not intended as denigration of the others, it’s just horses for courses. This app is one that I keep coming back to, despite it not being updated for 4 years. BTW, the other AD app I love is the more recent Other Desert Cities reverb, which sounds fabulous. So get it now, before the announced tripling of prices!

### 5/5 — One of my go to delays

*2023-03-20*

Does what it says on the tin really, but very easy to dial in.

### 5/5 — My  1 go-to delay

*2023-03-20*

Love the colorful sound, straightforward UI, and the ease with which I can dial in the sounds I’m looking for. Nine times out of ten, this is the delay I reach for, even if I’m not going for “dub” per se. A bargain too! (also true of the desktop version of this plugin)

### 1/5 — Borked

*2021-06-17*

iPad Air 3 14.6 don’t bother

### 1/5 — Good sounds when it works

*2020-12-15*

I use in in AUM but it always stops working, waste of money!

### 5/5 — Excellent dub delay.......

*2020-09-26*

Had this for years now and use it all the time. It’s my favourite delay to use within Cubasis. 5 out of 5!!

### 3/5 — Sounds great needs a graphics overhaul

*2020-08-02*

Spot on audio, just like the desktop version, gui in the preset section is glitchy on my iPad mini five hence the 3 stars

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.4 — 2026-05-11

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.

### 2.0.6 — 2018-09-14

1. All-new preset manager! The much-hated dropdown menu is gone, replaced with the same preset manager we have in our other iOS products. Preset naming and deleting, a shared preset folder between the AUv3 and standalone, and the factory presets now show up in your host's preset browser. 

2. Stereo Width control! Narrow the width for full-metal monophonic dual delay action, or crank it open for the wide soundstage that all the audiophiles love. 

Several bug fixes, and the plugin has been rewritten entirely to maintain concurrency with the desktop versions; all versions of Dubstation 2 for every platform are now identical, and built from the same codebase.

### 2.0.1 — 2018-07-31

Presets now appear in alphabetical order; other minor fixes and improvements.

### 2.0.0 — 2017-07-05

No release notes.
