If you missed this as a freebie a year or so ago- great lo-fi / tape VST.  According to the  Loopcloud YT promo you can get this with a free trial. Good until May 31.

Pretty pretty pretty pretty good

I concur with Brian and Fleer (heck, I look to Fleer's advice a good deal on this forum, so that should come as no surprise). I picked up Mello-Fi free a while ago and love it.  If you don't already have Mello-Fi, I wouldn't sleep on this one. 

EDIT: Sheesh! I didn't mean to leave out Brian's name, the person responsible for the thread. Fixed that.

That Mello-Fi is an interesting plugin. Got it the first time! That tape stop effect can be fun.

From the manual:

"Tape MELLO-FI is a powerful lo-fi effect plug-in derived from our Mellotron V software
instrument. It allows you to impart the unique sonic character of a vintage Mellotron to any
audio track in a recording project. Exceedingly simple to use, it provides instantly audible
results and can be just the thing to make a track stand out and cause your listeners to
wonder how you got “that” sound.
Essentially, Tape MELLO-FI makes any audio track sound like it is being played from vintage
analog tape. (Note that Tape MELLO-FI is not a virtual instrument itself. You’ll want Mellotron
V for that.)"

Thanks. I wanted to buy this plugin. The Loopcloud subscription is starting to pay off.
