I'm psyched for this.

That's a pretty damn good price. And looks like a way better UI than my actual Vortex.

Starting to sound like hardware.

Now I just kind of want that Alesis Quadraverb (or GT version)! TemeculaDSP seems like the perfect company for that task. C'mon, the hardware is like $50 and not rare! But software would be so much more convenient!

Shout out to Uncle E for recently sending me a power supply for my old Quadraverb GT at no cost just because he's a good guy!

Sorry I don't hear it sounding anything like my pair of vintage vortex's.
Great price and useful effects though, just keep working on it.
Again kudos for attacking this emulation.

Also I didn't see in the demo any use of tap tempo which is a must for using the Vortex.

Oh yeah one last thing, really like to hear it on something other than drums in the demo. I never use my Vortex's on drums, but maybe that's just me.

Hopefully have some free time today, must try this. If it's even remotely close to a Vortex I'll probably buy it.

Nice work.

Here's a +1 for the Alesis Quadraverb GT.

All great stuff! Hoping for a virtual Marshall Time Modulator some day!

Yes, I remember there was an emulation by Intelligent Devices at one time.

I know nothing about the original unit but in Live, sync is not in time. Hmmm, actually not sure it works at all. Tandem left channel appears to be a mono delay but the echo 1 controls don't seem to do much. Mix control doesn't seem to do much either. Might try reinstalling

Ah, ok. I reloaded the plugin and the mix control started working. Hmmm. It seems like when it fades out, it sometimes stops working after fading back in again. Yeah, seems buggy. I'll wait for the next build, I think
