Just listened to one of the videos - sounds not bad, might have to download and try and demo

SoundBlend,
 
Valuable reference.
 
Gonna pass on the amp. Not bad, but lacking something that screams to buy it. Much of the sounds are represented elsewhere and the stomp boxes go too lite on different kinds of effects, and no stereo in the floor boxes. Not to say that it is not a good unit and the demo is available.
 
What is really nice if the free pitch shifter. This is one I'll be getting a lot of use out of.
 
There are weak points. Chording produces garble and debris if the wet tones are tuned anywhere beyond a few notes. Single notes okay and gets the generic effect. Also, chords cause the wet signal to lose the effect and there is a flickering between the actual note pitch and the shifted signal. Bad tracking.
 
This said, the latency is about as low as this kind of device can deliver with resampling. The unit really shines in small semitone intervals away from the fundamental with the wet/dry signal about 50/50. Choose the -1 resample increment and then play with the fine control turned to the right almost all the way up and in this area. Result is a beautiful detune effect. Almost a chorus without the modulation. Was running this after a comp and HeadCase, getting some sounds that were like the vintage "Bad Company" tracks.
 
The plug also comes with a very accurate guitar tuner. Very much worth the download. Thanks again for the heads up.

I agree Larry. Look at companies like Klanghelm or Valhalla for example. I've also been looking at Sonimus products. Granted I have spent a great deal on software over the last few years and don't really need anything at this point, but I like getting new toys from time to time and these guys (that I mentioned) make good quality products that don't piss off the wife. Bang for the buck...the economy sucks. Nice little rhyme huh?

Thanks for sharing this, slapped it on my rhythm gtr bus, did as you said and got the sound that I've tried to get in the past but never could quite dial it in.
Thanks again!

Well got around to trying this - its not bad, not bad at all - I particularly liked the cabinet emulations /IR files - for the money, really good value

Thanks Gustabo. The pitch shifter also works well on keyboards. Detuning a piano is awesome. Seems like there are a lot of variations on a phase effect bouncing the wet/dry ratio off very small adjustments in the pitch. Helps set track depth in a mix.
