Maybe I should actually use VSM-3 before looking at this one??  I still love VSC-2 but have never ponied up for the VSC-3 version.  It's too bad Vertigo parted ways with Plugin Alliance, because otherwise there might be a chance to get a good deal on these!

Started watching it here at work. Using Bluetooth audio to the stereo unit here. Not best sounding speakers.  But I did like the background you used during the interview.  That was really nice.

Will watch more when I get home. Catchy little tune your using.

I didn't see it released by PA, so thought it wasn't released...my mistake...
I wonder if it would be  free upgrade if I got the VSM-3 on sale?

Well, that saved me $14.99 and my $25 voucher!

A total no-brainer deal right there!  I would gladly pay that for any of the Vertigo stuff sight unseen if VSC-2 is any indication of the quality. It's still one of my favs.    I remember liking VSM-3 fine after I bought it, but never went back with so many simple-to-use and great saturation/distortion plugins around.   Now to watch Zo's video and push aside Black Box* and dust off VSM-3...  

Thanks for the reminder Zo!  What a great time to be making music!

* Insert any number of other great and easy to use saturation/distortion plugins...

Ha! I posted this before reading the forum this morning and look what was just posted by The Man himself!  🤪  They must read this forum...

One of the zillions track i never released lol just the loop not structured lol wanted a girl spitting some glamourous vocals on with jamaican vibes , never did it ...  i cover a lot on this one because you can do so much with it ...

By the to clarify , it s not PA at all , and vsm 3 is another flavor ... the fact that PA does the sale now is not cool for vertigo if you ask me , strange behavior from ex partners ...

If i had to keep one , it would be the vertigo , simply because like the vsc 3 (the compressor) it really keeps depth , reminds uad plugin versus native , most of time the low and highs is where the differents is ...

What surprised me also is that even when drived the transient while mastered are not killed like a lot of unit around ...

Another is the transformer !!! You get tubes and transformers and combinaison can be great ...

vsm 3 imho is a good complement to this one , and if vsm 4 is too expensive for a guy , it could be a good start ...personnally on the pa offering , i would go black box forst before vsm 3 , easier and with more features ...

have not tried the vertigo vsm3, but was wondering about that given the apparent overlap in features. 

Features are great but also the sound !! 

Like stated in the video , vsm 4 , like blackbox is tube based , while vsm 3 isnt so you get diff vibes and impact on sounds , blackbox share more in comon imho with vsm 4 than vsm 3 exept just for the workflow ...

So the question(s) become - do you prefer the TMT Black Box, or VSM 4? and is the difference between the two big?
