FabFilter has released version 3.0 of their Timeless 3 tape delay plug-in for Mac and PC. Timeless 3 introduces a streamlined new interface, five feedback circuit effects, more filters, up to 16 delay taps, improved filter and saturation algorithms, a revised preset library, and more.
FabFilter has upgraded and optimized its analog-modeling algorithms from top to bottom, including the temporal response of the feedback circuit. The results are its warmest filters and smoothest saturation yet, delivering echo-based effects with clarity, presence, and character.

FabFilter Timeless 3
Timeless 3 enables users to design even the most intricate delay effects faster and more efficiently than ever. The completely redesigned interface greatly simplifies operation with a new, darker color scheme that’s easier on the eye during long sessions. The all-new delay display provides intuitive visualization and tweaking of delay time, feedback, and mix settings, while the interactive filter display makes shaping the frequency response a snap, and the full screen mode expands the GUI for focus. Modulation sources and targets now visualize modulation signals with animated collars and tracks, and the new source flow area provides an overview of all active modulations.
Five Feedback Path Effects
Color the sound of the delays with Timeless 3’s five new one-knob feedback effect modules. Add analog-style saturation and digital distortion with Drive and Lo-Fi; soften, smear, and “reverb-ify” the signal with the Diffuse knob; dial in instant compression or gating with Dynamics; and shift the feedback up to an octave up or down with the Pitch processor. All five are available as modulation targets, as well, so it’s easy to get them moving with Timeless 3’s XLFOs, Envelope Followers, XY Controllers, MIDI CCs, and more.
Shape The Delay With Up To Six Filters
Tripling the number available in version 2, Timeless 3 provides six multimode filters to sculpt delays. Each filter is adjusted directly in the interactive filter display, and offers a choice of high-pass, low- pass, band-pass, bell, shelf, and notch modes. Apply all six in series or parallel, or with three filters on each L/R channel for cross-feedback-enhanced stereo effects. Whether dialed in for precision equalization or modulated for acrobatic feedback manipulation, Timeless 3’s filters put no limits on frequency shaping.
New & Improved Presets
The factory preset library has been rebuilt from the ground up to maximize its usability, incorporating Timeless 3’s new feedback effects and filters, and reorganized to make it easier to find the effect needed for any situation. With focused instrument-specific treatments, dubbed-out echo-scapes, and spacious reverbs to a vast range of complex modulation-based special FX, the Timeless 3 preset library should definitely be your launching point.
