How many own and use Toneboosters?

 I was playing around with these plugins again tonight (trying the updated TB fix), and I'm always surprised by how good they actually stack up. The new TB fix is still complicated, but it sure looks a lot better. Is there a better bang for the buck software package out there? How many of you have paid for the Toneboosters key file and use them regularly? I know Barricade is popular, but what about the comps, eqs, reverbs and other tools? What are your TB favorites?

    I've been using these from way back when they were just released under Jereon's name - Barricade, Reel bus are goto products for me - the other free ones I also use regularly - I recently purchased Loudness and am just leaning that.
    I haven't got TB Fix just as yet as I think it may be a little technical for me!! Bitflipper did try and explain the concept but it I'm still no quite sure what of why you would need it - I hasten to add, through no fault of Bitflippers excellent explanation, more through my ignorance!

     I use the eq all the time - it has a spectrum analyser as part of it - so even if you dont want to use the eq, the analyser is really useful (although to my ears the eq sounds pretty good!)

    I can't say enough good things about Reel bus.  It's so sweet sounding.

    Reel bus is really nice.

    Reelbus does have some aliasing problems. It's better than FX:Tape Sim, though. 

    By far the best tape sim I've tested is the exciter module in Ozone, the only one that exhibits no measurable aliasing at all. (Well, that and Fabfilter Saturn, which is also alias-free in HQ mode. But I hesitate to recommend that since it's 10x the cost of Reelbus.)



    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Yup, that's the catch.  Saturn is yummy in the extreme...but you have to pay the price. Frankly, for those on a limited budget...and who isn't?...Reel Bus is pretty dang good.
