Personally, I'm of the hope this puts to rest any of the 'tube tone purist' arguments that come up here so often. When industry pros can't tell the difference, I'm impressed with the software. I also become much LESS impressed by 'golden ears' *******s who insist on putting down modellers based on price and assumptions alone.
