A sure to be expensive dedicated hardware controller seems over the top. 

Quite....

I've had the native VST version for about 7 years.  It's one of my favorites and is my go to EQ for acoustic guitar and is also great on vocals.  Can't wait for the updated VST version.  Don't think I need, nor can afford the hardware controller.  Also, their De-esser is really good.  Really like how you can monitor what you're cutting/de-essing.

So has anyone heard any more recent updates about when this will be out?  Any chance the VST will get released before the hardware is ready?  Inquiring minds want to know!
