Awesome Vintage Effects!

Awesome Vintage Effects e very much complete, even 20 years after release.

jimmarchi1

just because something is OLD doesn't mean its VINTAGE.... a 50 year old bottle of rot gut wine is not vintage

jimmarchi1: Meaning of the term vintage if you are not aware: "Vintage is an English term meaning something old or classic, often used to refer to objects, clothing, accessories and cars of the last decades.

Old objects are considered to be between 20 and 100 years old. The term has come to be used in the fields of decoration and fashion to designate a style that utilizes these antique items. "

This equipment is over 20 years old, ie it is considered vintage. And I didn't call it "old" at any time. Cheers!
