I'm interested in comparing it to Ronin, which blows my mind!
Part of me thinks I should just buy it yet I have Reaktor so I feel like I should give a shot at emulating it.

I don't think it compares properly with Ronin as the two are very different things.
Ronin's delay block is modelled on an analog delay, so the sample rate varies appropriately when the delay is changed and everything can be modulated. This one is designed like a series of digital delay buffers. So no pitch changes and no modulation of delay taps. This is also a multitap delay. Maybe a closer match would be Ohmboyz.
Personally I didn't care much for this new PSP delay. I'm interested in using effects actively, so changing things on the fly and over time. A showstopper for me is the absence of modulation. It was especially frustrating for the delay to go silent any time you adjusted the delay time.
I love Ronin, which is designed to be very hands on. I've never really warmed to any of PSP's effects as they never struck me as intended for that kind of use (maybe the 42 is with the manual adjustment, but it just isn't my thing). There are a lot of nice features on the 608, and I have seen some very positive reactions to it, so it really just comes down to what you want personally in a delay, as it really is a high quality product.
Me, I want delays like Ronin and Dubstation most of the time (or Ohmboyz for other times).

I was hoping for the opposite

I'd recommend trying it out. Maybe I was doing something wrong, but the silence was how it responded for me. And I didn't really like it.seamoss wrote:hmm.....not good.

I almost wonder if they left out delay modulation so that the plugin didn't compete directly with PSP's other delays?

For me, it's to CPU intensive. Incredible, for one single delay it takes as much as a complete reverb takes 
But as a special effect, it could be very awsome...

Who is general failure? And what is he doing on my harddisc?

Interesting points... Ronin is the same price for me as the PSP... I see a demo session coming up.

Just demo'd it. Not impressed sorry. I have plenty of good delays already most of which are freeware on the PC and I can stack them in interesting ways within rack-filters or EXT. My delay needs are only limited by my imagination.

Just bought PSP608. I love it. The sound is beautiful and the variety of delay effects is incredible. I already have a good range of delays including Ohmboys, Sonitus FX, PSP42 and PSP42, 608 adds yet another flavour. Check it out.
Cheers,
Gordon
