Who on gawd's green earth would want such a thing? I went on YouTube and listened to a few demos and there's nothing a little eq, comp and ambience couldn't do better. Anyone know the impetus behind this plug??

this seems like it would have been a cool freebie to just spur discussion on the topic of modeling and Waves products...

Personally, it seems like a stupid idea. But maybe it's just me.

I think it totally awesome that the original had buttons for the different royalty. The VU meters look great as well. Back in the day, this box must have been very cool.

To quote the engineer who sampled them:

"...old gear offers a character and quality impossible to achieve using only new equipment."

I use this excuse with my wife all the time.

I wonder if they're planning any follow-ups. Maybe Hitler's Neumann?

Just cashing in after the film "The King's Speech" IMHO.
