Amazing guitar!

Very stable FR, overal sound is pleasant, agressive with very tight rhythm sound and classic stratocaster alike clicky sounds which im very fond of. I could not be more happy, no complaints, and maple top veneer is relaxing looking and has that 80s charm. Highly recommended if you find one since they are out of production.

Agressive beast with chunky low end.

I have this amp for half year so far and i had nothing but good times, one of the best metal rhtyhm sounds that you can have. Crunch tones and lead tones are great too, only as we all know clean sounds are terrible, but most people who own it dont use it for that i guess.

Incredible!

I using this module more then 5 years, and cant say enough good things about it. Its rompler workhorse, and you can get very deep with programming if you want to. Sound quallity is amazing 24bit/48khz. Downsides are that factory presets sounds average and boring, once you figure out how to do your own it open up wide range of possibilities, and believe it or not it can do almost all type of sounds good.

It has more pros and cons, that is that due to enormous present high end lots of patches sounds bright,but also some sounds form previous machine sound amazingly clear like never before, since you can load sysex from any JV/XP/XV machine. Its also has sample playback, and imported samples due to clear sound engine sounds HD then on any machine i ever heard so far.

It does takes a lot of time to learn all its features properly, but once you understand all its features you realize how much endless variety of tones you can get out of it that you never want to let it go.

I will probbably never sell this stuff. Its just too good.

Wonderful!

I have used few DI`s during my home studio journey over years, and some pretty high class such as Radial JDI , and i use Neve RNDI all the time too for bass recordings. Z-Tone Di is just amazing with its features and how you can make the unit color the sound less possible, or add subtle or big changes with passive/active switching and pure/jeft, and not to speak about Z-Tone filtering which can make drastic to very surgical changes, plu 8db of +/- preamp.

Nedless to say I`m amazed, my guitar tone with amp sims never sounded so good. Planning to buy another one to use it for stereo needs on synths etc.

Highly recommended!

Solid.

Solid upgrade from Komplete 10 I used previously.I payed the upgrade version, and the best thing is that all downloads are know available in Native Access, so I can choose what to install there fast and easy compare to disk installations. The only coins is that it don`t have any orchestra set,not even basic one, only Session Strings 2 which is not ideal for making cinematic music.

Solid but not perfect.

If you need hammond mock up tones,this does it really good, but it sounds very dead compare to real deal so it need quite post processing to make it shine in the mix,still it will not sound realistic thou. Nevertheless it is far from sounding bad,middle ground I would say. If you have no bucks for more expensive library, and you do not need to sound extra realistic then this one if for you.If your whole song depends on the sound of this insturment then skip it. My honest opinion.

Quite a deal for the price!

Dead cheap,and there are quite preset options to make it sit to your music or certain mix.Recommendation.

One of the best drum samples on the market!

Use it almost on every project when it demands meeaty metal drums. They hav equite dynamic range and sound pretty natural,but it demands to be edited deeply in BFD3 and MIDI track as well,but after you got it right it sound quite good. As I was 15 years drummer I can say in my personal opinion this is one of the best drum samples on the market.

Sounded sweet back then,know absolete...

This sound card had pretty solid sound for its price,often bit buggy drivers, but overal pretty pleasant and full sound,not transparent in any way imho. Still for its price at the time it was pretty good deal. I would only suggest this only if for some strange reason someone want to have an old computer with OS Windows XP to use some of absolete software on it,etc.

Pretty versatile for an old rack

I used this in my humble studio for years and decided to sell it after some time since I came to conclusion that in my personal opinion modern plugins came bit more in terms of realism of hi gain amps. Other then that it has pretty cool effects,very high quallity built,and also has bass,and vocal recording presets as well,so its quite versatile beast.Quite often I regret for selling it.
