I know you tested this early in the thread, but just sharing my results vs. the only ones posted in here.

I am testing version 1.1.3 now on Linux on a Ryzen 3600, which is basically the same as an 8700k benchmark-wise, and I have 7 eq's in this session and I'm only in the 20%'s.

Adding an instance of IRON GLASS_ is giving me like a 2% bump at 24/48/128samples, with the regular 4x OS on.

I also saw that you also have a Ryzen 7950x, curious if that is much different than the Intel.

I expected this plugin to possibly be crippling, but so far so good!

Time to read the manual.

EDIT: I must be wrong about my %'s because adding two more and bring it up to 9 instances brought on the crackles. Will test more later.
7 instances on a 3600 sounds about right.
Thanks for the confirmation.

I read the other thread on GS and a Linux user reported that the Character knobs crackled or made noise when turning them during playback - I get that too. Not a huge deal for me, just reporting it.
REAPER + Davinci Resolve Pro on Manjaro KDE. Neve 88m. Focusrite 18i20 2nd gen. Neumann NDH30 headphones. Mics: Telefunken TF39, AT4050, Miktek C7e, EV RE-15. VSTs: u-he Hive 2, F'em, Renoise Redux, Apisonic Speedrum 2.

I sure did. But like you said, it's not a dealbreaker.

The crackling and stale manual link will be fixed soon! Thanks for trying it out on Linux

I redid the test with the old version I have installed on the i7 with Live 12.3.5.

Enabled all filters and tube & iron.

24 channels can be run with 76% CPU usage. 25th instance gives me 100% and crackles. NOTE: this machine does not have ASIO capable audio card, just internal crappy chip running on DirectSound (18ms latency).

I'll be testing the bought version on Ryzen with RME later if needed.
