But these things are fookin' incredible! It doesn't mention Pultecs, LA-2A's, 1176's, or Fairchilds (!!!) in the literature, but that's what these are mimicking. And trust me, they're doing it very well. There's also a real dubby delay, a sick phaser and chorus. Tons of meaty plugins that run less CPU cycles than you'd think and sound absolutely incredible. Demo is available, with an annoying sign-in thingy. But do check em out if you're craving some good sounding warmth in your plugins. If analog, even-order harmonics are your thing, they're well worth the price.
I need to do some more hip-hop now! Put a 'pultec' PEQ2B on a loop and put something soft on the floor to catch your jaw!
Ok, enough raving now. I like them.

I'm all over Blue Tubes this weekend. UAD sounds preferable cuz it's powering itself, but you run the risk of conflicts everytime you fill a slot with another card.
One question though, how come there are 2 compressors and 2 equalizers that come with the bundle?
One more plusis the color choice. I think the plugins will pickup the blue of my Supernova very nicely.

As for the two EQ's: one is a damn near ripoff of the design of a classic tube Pultec EQP-1A. Very nice for lowend. The other is an adjustable 3-band joint with selectable ranges and boost/cut switch per band.

I have to play with the compressors and limiter. What's your take on the compressors? And I'm not sure I "get" the whole Limiter thing yet.
