  1. I didn’t bother much with GR5 as an amp sim but the added effects have proven useful. Some are too heavy on CPU for what they do, especially Raum and some other time-based effects. Haven’t compared their standalone performance where there is one available and haven’t yet used outside IRS which might help the actual amp sims.

  3. But...but...don't you need another reverb??
  4. Doh!!!!! Yes, don't forget to update your signature when you've sold everything!!!!!!! Thanks, er...sorry, Doug.
  5. Or just add a link to your KVR forum post in your signature. One of the joys of this forum is talking about deals without pitching our own.
  6. Love me some Veggie Tales...
  7. So true, Piotr - I hid or uninstalled about a quarter of all plugins in my instrument and effect pages in the S1 browser. It looks and feels great to just make the "maybe that will come in handy someday" plugins go away, assuming what remains will probably do what I need and perhaps better than the ones I got rid of. Having all of those "maybe" options means I'm not exploring or understanding what I have already. Now, the question is "how do I make that Fabfilter sale eliminate even more of those second-rate plugins on my list?" Followed shortly by "how am I gonna pay for it???"
  8. Took the leap earlier today (glad to see it was still on sale and may still be). This thing is so easy to use and sounds fantastic. AND it's barely registering on the performance monitor in Studio One. I admit I have way too many reverbs and most came with larger packages or cost little to obtain and are not worth selling second-hand. At this point, I'll just start hiding them in my plugin browser in S1. They may gradually be replaced with this.
  9. Closest I ever came to anyone in Pink Floyd was meeting Bob Geldof before sun up at an empty cafe, trackside at Paddington Station. He invited my colleague and I over, saying "I don't want to read this bloody paper all by myself!" It might not have been Waters, but it was Geldof.
  10. Not sure if this is relevant at this point, but just got this email from SSL: We've updated our user accounts system Reactivate your account by resetting your password.

  11. Sorry - I shouldn't have gone nuclear on you like that, Peter!!! I'll second the vote re: Rush but it's a tie with Floyd.
  12. Voucher reset. Flanger is mine.
  13. I'll second that. I had BE-100 for months and it can easily handle hard rock/metal but it can do a ton more. It didn't have that classic rock warmth to my ear and I was looking for something lower gain/clean but warm tones and the DS-40 was exactly what I was looking for - I picked it up last night. Between the two Friedman amps you cover a TON of possibilities.
  14. Just did the same. So glad I did - it's superb. Really hoping for another reset. Got the ADA Delay but wish I'd opted for the flanger. First World Problems.
  15. Your wallet seems to be implying that you can still live, at least in part, by satisfying your GAS problem. It doesn't tell you what the split should be so I think you're OK.

    Out again!

    Good luck Larry. Teach those budding deal-spotters your secrets while their minds are impressionable. Get out of Detroit before we're flooded out!!!!!!
  17. Just used my points and got the upgrade from Free for $12. Does anyone know if you need to delete the existing install of the Free Bundle in order to install the upgraded version? Never mind - the installer has a Cleanup tool and activation is at the plugin level. Thought of everything.
  18. Us, too, Larry - Farmington & 6 Mile was out for a while but that’s like a weekly occurrence in the summer. Glad you got some love from DTE. Underpromise and overdeliver as they say…
  19. I had this for a couple of weeks after BF and it was overall a good experience. I compared Captain Plugins at the same time. I ended up returning both (they both have a 30-day money-back guarantee). Captain required the app to constantly "check in" with its pattern database at the developer site to render new patterns and would not activate unless the connection was live. Showstopper for me. Orb on the other hand was too limited in the scales it supported at the time. It's a really cool concept though, and the synth is much better to my ear than Captains plugins. If I picked up one again, it would be Orb. And I may do that again with this sale, hoping for an update that broadens the available scales. Both developers were really gracious with the return process and simply asked why I was asking for a refund. They were equally appreciative for the feedback and the Orbians said they're working on expanding what was missing.
  20. Just updated Amp Room and the new models sound really good. All of the amp views can now be expanded, too. CPU hit is still high when splitting signal paths but basic pedal-amp-post FX-cab hit is about the same as Amplitube on my set up.
