Has anyone bought this one?
I am using SGA1566 and absolutely love the sound. I use it on the master channel as well as to add the analog feel to synth tracks and as a saturating limiter on drums.
One of the musicians on facebook likes SGA1566 MkII. $30 is definitely a bargain compared to what others are offering for more than 3x that. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it and what is their opinion?

It looks like the only difference is it has 8x oversampling and 2 different oversampling filter types. Whereas the free version only goes up to 4x oversampling and has 1 oversampling filter type.

There are more differences than just oversampling. I read the manual and it looks like the added filter type should help keep the sheen that comes from higher frequencies. I can, also, see the benefit of taking the EQ out of the signal path as well. What I cannot figure out from the manual is the performance improvement and how much difference there is in the sound quality between the HIGH and MID CPU modes.mike the mental wrote:It looks like the only difference is it has 8x oversampling and 2 different oversampling filter types.

Doesn't the original claim to be a full circuit model? Not much to add to that IMO.mike the mental wrote:It looks like the only difference is it has 8x oversampling and 2 different oversampling filter types.
