The impedance for the Dub Station is at full for the first section where both filters are inserted on a full mix and then impedance at minimum for the parallel section. This helps to match the resonance between them better.

Cool, thank you! To get the resonance we analyzed (which changes on each frequency), the impedance has to be in the middle, but we really wanted to give more options. Sometimes the resonance can be too much depending on which source material is used.
Anyway, thanks a lot for this comparison!

Loving the sound of the Dub Station. I’m glad it’s not the same as my Westfinga filter. There’s always people who have a problem with anything that isn’t analog, but the filter sounds great. A lot of people with a hardware filter want more resonance and feedback the filter to itself. Not needed with this plugin.

Yes, I think, especially when you use it as a send fx, you need a bit more resonance. But that's personal of course, so it's good to have an option :)

Any chance Springs will be updated with Dub Station's reverb? That would be awesome!

Unfortunately, at the moment it won't be possible due to licensing. Perhaps in the future.

Here's a NKS conversion for this cool plugin:

I'm a sucker for (dub) delays but have not yet tried this one (although I have quite a few AT plugins).

How does it measure up these days?

This thing is great. I'm using several instances of it throughout Dub projects. I mostly bought it for the 'Big Knob' (which sounds really great before the Spring Reverb, really splashy and resonant), but you get a great delay and great Spring reverb all in one package. Turn on/off whatever modules you like.

Kinda hoping AT are still working on this to develop it further. Not that there's anything wrong with it or needs fixing, just any more features would be greatly appreciated :)

AudioThing is really solid about continued support for their product line. They're one of those companies that's actually almost "too good" at it once you own a lot of their plugins because you'll find yourself updating regularly.

I hope an installation manager/updater is in the cards for them some day because their large product line and frequent updates definitely would warrant one. But yeah, if there's not already a CLAP version of Alborosie, then I'm sure it will be forthcoming. Not sure what it else it needs from a feature standpoint, but they regularly add new models to Springs and Speaker.

Native Apple Silicon and CLAP would be great .... hope that will arrive soon

Edit:
As a matter of fact, version 1.0.0 is native Apple Silicon ... thanks
