Stomp Board

I reaaaaly wanted to like this (knowing their hardware from back ... in the 80s ?!? - god - I'm old !).

Picked it up for super cheap in a sale but still I think it might have been too much :-(.

I tested it (Stomp Ware) a few years back and thought it was quite decent at that time so when it came on sale I didn't test again but just jumped on it. - Big mistake.

The thing is that this one might be just the single worst aged plugins that I know of (Stomp Ware which this is based on is over 10 years old I think).

Compared to todays standards the amp simulation is pretty much unusable. Plenty of free options out there that blow it out of the water.

Not realistic at all - not sound wise and especially lacking in the feel and feedback (to your playing) department.

The stomp boxes are all on the "nahh" side and the one that was my main reason for purchase - the Maximizer - doesn't hold up to either it's hardware counterpart (I only know the 19" version though) or vs other maximizer plugins. Pretty much everything I compared it with sounded better after minimum time of tweaking (Waves, PA just to name a few options).

Sorry, but to sum it up: Year 2010 called - it wants it's plugin back :-P.
