Larry Shelby Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Something that everyone should be aware of... The JRR "Blowout" shop is almost never cheaper than the main shop with the GROUP or FORUM codes. There is the occasional item that is cheaper in the Blowout shop...but VERY rarely. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have SWORN when I posted that that your post said GROUP and FORUM codes weren't working! That's why I checked there. ... ----- Yes, your post right above mine said the codes didn't work.

Fleer Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I got it straight from SSL last year but I don’t like that I can’t add that purchase to their new website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 So setting aside the 50 cent savings discovery, given that other companies have SSL emulations for these that many of us already have - what is a highlight to call out for why these are worth the spend even at this discount?

A number of people say it is the best sounding version on the market. In terms of features, the switchable J/E/G EQ curves is a nice touch. The GUI is arguably among the best looking....but it isn't resizable and that is a turn off. And depending on your perspective the iLok requirement may be a step down from say the PA model. Not to mention no mix knob on the Compressor is a step back, IMO (even if it isn't true to the original). Though I gave this some thought last time the deal came up, now that I have the PA Amek Console (yeah obviously not an SSL), but does kill the GAS for something like this, as frankly it is more feature rich.

Maybe from people with more software emulation creation experience? that being said, yes, plenty of reports that this one is in fact top notch. But as a general rule hardware and software experts are virtually always different people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Cormier Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) The other part of the native plugins I love is the 360 mixer that comes along with it. Edited April 15, 2022 by Marc Cormier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing the 360 as an included piece... From what I see searching around the web it's free but requires hardware to work or am I missing something?

This is one of the better software deals that's been out there in the last year, methinks. Glad I already have it.
