it's a good delay (IMO). Wouldn't want to pay $149 for it.

be aware the vst3 version is a bit buggy (again IMO) - fixes were promised a year or so ago but never happened.  Stick to VST2

this review is a bit over the top it's not quite as good as he claims but gives you the idea

I read the review last time it was on sale like this. I passed on it for reasons I can't remember. I think because I have FF Timeless. But the review did peak my interest. I may have over spent on other things was the reason I passed on it. 

May pick it up.

I haven't had any VST3 issues in Cakewalk (but I did have a bunch with Manic Compressor - which is also unresolved)

It is one of the better delays on the market.  Not perfect, but a great all around delay and a good "go to"

I had to go back and re-read that review to see if Imperial Delay had indeed been over-praised. To quote the article itself: "Maybe".

But here's a genuine testimonial: this is the only product I've ever gone out and purchased after having been given an NFR for it.

I paid $15 for it on that other recent deal few weeks ago

I've already got delays coming out my ears ... ears ... ears ... ears ... ears ...ears ... ears

I got it. Remembered the review saying it had lots of features that you could dig into. So I went with it.
