To RSMC, not that the fake presets will brick wall keep anyone from using these products, analogy not entirely the same, though understand your point. They are great programs and most of us able to weigh the pros and cons. Prevailing wisdom seems to be to use the system and create your own presets with registered modules.
Just the time waste weeding out the adds is a bummer. Drowning in clutter that should not be there. We should have the option to use the product we purchased and not have it thrown back into the demo mode unknown because we hit a preset that needs 10 more dollars to use.
I did a holy jihad on Revalver. Took about 20 minutes. Just for the hell of it. Went through hundreds of presets and deleted anything, sometimes entire banks sending the program back into the demo mode without a credit card.
Works good. Presets although hundreds less, all work. Can now cut thru the crap and use the program. Can also audition any effect with the big red D and haul out the plastic if I can't live without it. Amplitube next if there is a parallel fix.
