I should begin by dispelling a myth or two: it takes more than a Wurly to sound like Supertramp! A plain Wurly sounds quite a bit different; they used a ton of effects and amps to get "that" sound. Mr. Tramp sounds like a plain Wurly, not like "Goodbye Stranger." But trust me, this is a Good Thing! You can still get that glorious, if processed, sound; I recommend beginning with the Simulanalog and Classic suites for some real vintage quality. Amplitube and Trash also rock serious ass.

Anyway, Mr. Tramp sounds and responds like the real thing. I didn't believe it either when I first played with the public beta, but a trip down to my local Banjo Depot (Err, Guitar Center), which had a well-used but well-maintained Wurly (a 203e, IIRC) that matched this emulation. It's a mellow, thin, hollow, reedy kind of sound that really responds to sensitive treatment. It's a friendly, good-natured sound that just works -- but you can dirty it up and sharpen the edges, give it some amphetamine-fueled aggro with the right amp sims.

I've never had any problems with it whatsoever. It says what it does and does what it says, with no surprises (other than how good it is!). I wish it had a more flexible tremolo, but it exactly matches the real thing. Anyway, Guido is almost unreasonably responsive to suggestions and genuinely cares about his creations -- and it shows.

If you have any interest in a vintage sound, do yourself a favor and download this.

Mr. Ray 73 and Mr. Tramp
By Moderated by Stephen Fortner | October 2007 | Feature

Guido Scognamiglio first came onto our radar with his free ORGANized Trio virtual B-3 (see “Clonehweel Heaven,” Nov. ’04), and we plan to review the improved version, VB3, for which he charges a modest 40 euros. He also makes a mean electric piano, for free, no less. Make that two: Mr. Ray 73 and Mr. Tramp. [READ MORE...]

Product: MrRay73
Developer: GSi

OS: Windows
Formats: VST
MrRay SeventyThree is a Rhodes Mark I emulation. This version of MrRay is characterized by a series of "imperfections" introduced in order to capture, with the highest possible fidelity, the sound of a Mark I. There are mallet noises, wooden noises, metallic artifacts and changes of volume for each single note. Also, the lower notes have a particular "growl" when you hit them hard, and when you hit more keys really hard, you'll hear them "vibrating", originally due to the instability of the harp assembly inside the real instrument. You won't hear the exact same ... [more]

Product: WatKat
Developer: GSi
Type: Delay / Echo
Price: Free
OS: WindowsMac OS XUniversal Binary
Formats: VSTAudio Unit
WatKat is a digital "clone" of a Wem Watkins "Custom" Copicat. It sounds very lo-fi, noisy, irregular. When you turn it off and leave the tape loaded, the tape bends in proximity of the capstan, and this turns into a periodic pitch fall during echo playback; plus, it gets hot and the background hum gets worse over time... you should turn it off every now and then; the tape is never completely erased, and the capstan motor flutters... and it gets worse if you touch it while it's spinning; heads tend to get dirty very soon, in fact you should clean them often. This is true fo... [more]
