Just for the sake of hoping more people will volunteer information, rather than oppinion, I want to bring up one thing. Just because you are using something in software that immulates a hardware unit, that doesn't mean you expect it to perform like the hardware unit. For me, and maybe other people, I am more interested in using it as an effect, even if it sounds NOTHING like the real deal, in the hopes that it is something useable and makes something sound better.

I don't really care if software emulation of hardware sounds like the real deal. All I care about is if it sounds good to me. We all make our music to impress ourselves and hopefully the masses, not to impress fellow gearslutz.

I really love Nebula for this. I'm going to look into URS and Soundtoys too.
