- Vintage-inspired stereo delay
- Deep modulation system
- Flexible filtering (LPF, HPF, BPF)
- Precise timing controls (BPM, ms)
- Switchable stereo/dual mono modes
- Advanced modulation sources (LFO, Random, Envelope)

A vintage-inspired delay supercharged with deep modulation, flexible filtering, and creative timing that pushes echoes into new dimensions. Classic Delay, Reinvented Quantum Delay takes the charm of a vintage stereo delay and fuses it with our next-level modulation system. Switch between the warm character of Tape mode and the pristine clarity of Fade mode, lock to BPM (including 5-tuplets) or dial in precise times in milliseconds. Use the Fine control for subtle push-and-pull micro-timing — or modulate your delay lines in ways traditional delays could only dream of. Sculpted Echoes Shape your repeats with switchable lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters placed directly in the feedback path. Add modulation to create evolving tones, gentle movement, or drifting, frequency-shifting echoes. From warm analog-style rolls to shimmering, swirling textures, it’s all there. Feedback with Precision Control your delay tail behavior using either traditional % feedback or our modern dB-per-second decay system — ideal for predictable, musical decay even when the feedback path becomes complex. Enable Crossfeed for classic ping-pong stereo bounce, or push into Over-Feedback to create dense, self-building echoes that drift toward infinity. Stereo or Dual Mono Every section of Quantum Delay — delay, filter, and feedback — can switch between stereo and dual mono modes. Create tight, controlled stereo images or break them apart for wide, offset, unpredictable spaces. Dual mono modulation unlocks complex stereo interplay and beautifully asymmetric echoes. Modulation Without Limits Quantum Delay integrates our advanced modulation system, letting you modulate nearly anything: delay time, filters, feedback parameters, stereo controls, and more. Use LFOs, Random Generators, 2D modulators, Envelope Followers, Macros, and even chaotic systems to push your echoes far beyond traditional delay behavior. Or use our parameter randomisation feature to explore the plugin’s sound at random. Quantum Delay is an AUv3 audio effect plugin compatible with Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis, GarageBand and many more. A Desktop version is also available for Windows and macOS (VST3 / AU / AAX). More information here: https://gs-dsp.com/products
Cab ML
This app generates custom impulse responses using a neural network, allowing interactive sound shaping. It also includes a poweramp and microphone reverb generator for further audio manipulation.
- Neural network impulse response generation
- Interactive tag-based sound shaping
- Poweramp with multiple options
- Microphone reverb generator
- AUv3 plugin support

Cab ML is both a standalone app and an AUv3 plugin that provides a neural network for impulse response generation. By moving tags in a window you can change the impulse response in an interactive way. Underlying a neural network will generate an impulse response based on the position of the tags. Instead of trying out all your impulse response files through a classic impulse response loader, you can now find the right sound interactively by moving the marks until you like what you hear. Furthermore Cab ML also provides a poweramp with many options and a microphone reverb generator. The free version allows you to test Cab ML completely, but every minute the plugin will be silent for 3 seconds. To remove these limits there is a one time in-app purchase. You need an audio interface to connect your instrument to your Mac. Known audio interface brands for guitar or bass are for instance Focusrite or iRig. If you don't have an audio interface, you can use the AUv3 plugin in a DAW such as GarageBand or Logic Pro. Any (guitar/bass) sound you have recorded can be fed through the Cab ML audio unit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GSDSP Quantum Delay at 100% against Cab ML's 50%. GSDSP Quantum Delay also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Cab ML's advantage is price (Free vs $14.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
