Interesting. Waiting to see how does it stack up against Gulfoos and Smoothie.

Gulfoss has a dark skin so that's already a +1 on start

I was going to say, it looks like they are going after the Gulfos market with an affordable option. No idea how it stacks up, i don't have either...

Also, don't forget about Voxengo TEOTE (not on sale; just thought I'd mention it along with the other similar plugins)

You beat me to posting that video!

Sade's song was mixed with this plugin, true story

Ok, so based on the first videos I can easily nominate it for an excellent poor man's Goolfos/Smoothie alternative best candidate... (read: for me!)

TEOTE is 30% off at the moment!

Good spot Pluto.

I don't know why I didn't see it earlier, but as it turns out, I checked Voxengo's website again and they are actually having their 15% Spring sale right now*. I'll just briefly say (so as to not hijack the thread) that if anyone's had their eye on any Voxengo plugins, now would be a good time.

 

* Voxengo's got both a dynamic discount and a flash sale discount on top of the 15%

Anyone got this yet? I’m still very much enamored with Gullfoss. They even added a Live version.

I'll eventually get this, but I've also watched some Gullfoss videos and there's nothing to worry about it. Its sound is spot on, best in the market I'd say. And this new live version. My only gripe is with the price!

What I like about Smooth Operator is the ability for some serious tone shaping in addition to just subtle resonance taming. Didn't see that in Gulfoss, it always does sound hifi, can't produce bad sound.
