@ chris carter
you got some good points there.
but still: if a plugin has a photoshop gui of a very well known gear
and the guy makes it look like the plugins would emulate that outboard gear
his plugs have to be judged by that.
and as you said, they don't sound like it.
ofcourse that does not mean that they are not useful.
but its still a prestidigitation to me ....
just looking at a sweet gui and getting a mediocre sound.
and yes: they are free. thats's nice.
there are many free plugs out there which i think are pretty cool.
but i would call free stuff like
- dbl GLITCH - cool!
not some strange gui rip offs.
