TC Electronic

Brief description - a collection of TC Electronics' famous guitar pedals. 'nuff said.

TC has, as far as I can tell, succeeded in recreating the old pedals in a good way. I once owned the Chorus and Phaser pedals that I used for my Rhodes, unfortunately both were stolen...
But the plugins recreate the sound in a superb way - I have had the opportunity to compare with an old recording. So for everyone who liked TC's sound - a collection of legends in plugin format.

Vintage Guitar Pedal Bundle includes:

Stereo Chorus+ Flanger Native features chorus, pitch modulation and flanger modes.

Booster+ Distortion Native features clean with boost with EQ and distortion with EQ modes.

TC XII Phaser Native features smooth and thick phaser goodness with 4 / 8 / 12 filters.

Dual Equalizer Native features turbo-charged EQ for sculpting perfect tone.

Sustain+ Equalizer Native features endless sustain with sophisticated EQ.

The Mastering HD Native Bundle contains both Brickwall HD (a limiter) and Master X HD Native (a multiband compressor/expander/limiter).

Both are very good sounding and have fine presets right out of the box. Easy to tweak from subtle to dramatic. Not processor hungry. Recommended.

The Midas 3000 is one of the standard consoles in the PA context and TC Electronic has done a good job as far as I can tell. Sounds good, uses little processing power, is stable - what more could you ask for?

Danish TC Electronic has made a name for itself with high-end products and these four plugins are no exception.
The Icon Series Legacy Native Bundle contains the following plugins:

TC 2290 Legendary Dynamic Delay, a magnificent software version of TC Electronic's iconic delay from 1985.
TC 1210 Unique Spatial Expander, an equally iconic effect from 1987
TC 8210 Classic Mixing Reverb, a reverb with some classic algorithms from the R4000
DVR 250 Digital Vintage Reverb, some algorithms from the System 6000 based on the EMT 250.

All four plugs sound exquisite. Luxurious effects where the TC 1210 stands out as a shimmering guitar effect, a favorite of Andy Summers and Alan Lifeson, and TC 2290 who was made immortal by The Edge. Add to this a wealth of clear and warm room tones from the 6000 series. Yum. I was once lucky enough to play around with a hardware version of the TC6000, a legendary device that is something of a dream in recording studios.

When KVR had the plugs on sale I couldn't resist, and they fulfilled my expectations 100%.

Besides the sound and well-balanced presets, the effects are economical with computing power. Highly recommended.

As a longtime superfan of the PolyTune pedal, I was shocked to discover that this plugin quietly existed in the world. I used to check on the TC website all the time, wondering why they hadn't released a plugin version of this revolutionary plugin, and then one day during some plugin research here—what do I find? A listing for PolyTune! And it's only $49.

So this functions and looks exactly like the guitar pedal. No surprises here. I noticed that the GUI is not Retina-ready, which leads me to believe this plugin might be somewhat neglected and may not get updated. But for now, it's working fine on MacOS Catalina, as of April 2021.

Generally, the polyphonic tuning is accurate, and can be very useful for dynamic sections of a song where the player is hitting the strings at hard levels and might be skewing the tuning. Using the polyphonic mode can get your a nice average tuning for chords, and then it will automatically switch to single-note mode when you hit individual strings. It's brilliant.

There is a very generous trial version available from the product page, I highly recommend any and all guitar players grab it. It makes life so much easier.
