The Kjaerhus plugins had a particular sound that can be hard to replicate sometimes. This thread is not a request for plugin replacements or 'better' plugins in various categories, it is for those who've found suitable replacements with the same or similar sound to speak up, so that others with old or ongoing projects can replace them. For those who're unsure why it feels necessary to replace them it is a combination of technical (32-bit only, some bugs) and ethical reasons (Torben was one of the two developers).
I'll start: Kjaerhus classic delay was hard to replicate but I managed to do so with the free version of HY delay. The Kjaerhus one seems to do a bunch of undisclosed eq stuff internally, but I was able to near-enough replicate that using the EQ and HP/LP stuff in HY.
BTW if anyone paid money for Kjaerhus stuff and wants to offset any guilt-by-association you can donate to Tearfund, a charitable trust which works to prevent human slavery and exploitation.
A thread for those looking to move on from Kjaerhus plugins

To be honest, I think most of us moved on a long, long time ago.
I owned the compressor, and made use of some of the freebies, but was never that attached to them. At some point the compressor stopped working, and I just moved on, and stopped installing it on new systems.
Thanks for the HY Delay suggestion. Just downloaded. Will give it a try.

To replicate the ping-pong delay from Classic Delay, approximately, these are the settings I used:
