I posted the below in another thread:-

" ..... They sound AWESOME - low cpu loads - great GUI - their developer *knows* what he is doing.

The mastering-grade brickwall limiter plug [ Barricade ] and the Gate plug are worth the money by themsleves.

Plus - and this is just ridiculous - you also get the ReelBus Tape Sim plug also.

We A/B'd it to both the Studer and Ampex UAD plugs [ which my studio colleague owns - not me - you probably know my view on UAD ] and it easily does %95 of what the UAD's do - only time you could tel them apart was when you really really  really pushed the signal, the UAD's were much smoother and sonically nicer / warm / real - but that was *only* when you really pushed them really really really hard and hot - sonething most users will never do or want to do unless you are specifically going for that sound.    For  %99.99 of users in %99.99 of siuatiuons, this Amp Sim does everything the UAD's and the Slate does.   This guy could jack up the price five-fold and they'd still be a total no-brainer !!!

US$200 for VTM  [  a great plug but you need an iLok ] ......... US$250 for UAD  plus   card/dongle cost  [ also a great plug but its not native and its not native X64 ] ................... US$14 for TB ReelBus  [ a great plug that is native and no iLok and is native X64 ]  and which for all intents and purposes does everything the other two do ....... are you LISTENING UAD   ( sorry I couldnt resist ) !!!

Quite simply, Cakewalk should license this guy and use his suite for X2.  Period.

Thanks for this, got the demo and very sweet.

Yeah, RealBus is awesome--in fact, all their plugins are incredible.

Thanks Carl.  Here is more info on 2.8.4 from their website: 

 All plugins have been updated to version 2.8.4; new downloads are available at www.toneboosters.com. Happy new year! 

ReelBus Added a new tape model


TimeMachine Improved noise and dithering processing in TB TimeMachine – bit depth reduction sounds much more musical now. 


EBULoudness Added PLR (Peak-to-Loudness Ratio) readout Added k16v2 dynamic preset

Was that "auto level makeup" button there in the previous version of Reelbus? I don't remember seeing it before. A great addition, if it's new. Makes up for the absence of an output level control and makes the plugin much easier to use and experiment with.

No, it's not a new feature.
It's been requested to add an output level too as the makeup level is a tad louder.

All Windows and OSX plugins have been updated to version 2.8.5; new downloads are available at www.toneboosters.com.

All plugins

• Fixed GUI redraw issue for preset selection in some hosts.

ReelBus

• Improved bounce behavior in Logic Pro.
• Inclusion of a new tape model

Compressor and EZCompressor

• Two new compressor algorithms included.

FlX

• First release.

Good to see it's still under active development. Now if he'd just add an oversampling option to deal with that aliasing problem...
