When was the last time you had tape inserted across your 2 buss? I think gas was about 89 cents a gallon! Which reminds me, what would be the best tape simulator to put into the Silver Bullet II? Haha! The best? Probably the Anamod. But that's mega expensive, and I'm not sure they are even in production anymore.

U-he Satin. Free? Chow Tape on higher oversampling. Configure either correctly or choose a preset and don’t be stupid.

Because they’re digital and an analog computer modeling solving a primitive model of a tape machine is somehow superior to C code? Modern CPUs have come a long way like Virginia Slims and are far better at solving hysteresis equations in real time and anti-aliasing. You can use a very heavy tape plug on you mix buss easily. The best tape plugs even run partially at ultra high sample rates to have working bias tones, ie U-he Satin, the free ChowTape and its paid Tape Sculptor spin off, and Ik Tape and Tascam. Ik uses fir convolutions though so they kills transients despite the fun tone.

If it sells Expect RND guitar pedals in 2-3 years Is that the rumor? That RND will sell? Also, I have to say that I wish UA wasn't making pedals, and was instead solely focusing on the pro market. That said, I also understand why they're doing pedals. They've already done most of the R&D with the Apollo and their plugins. It's mostly just rehashing their plugins, DSP, and conversion into a pedal sized box. And the pedal market has exploded in recent years. I bet UA is making money hand over fist on their pedals. And, I do hear these pedals actually sound great. So what are you gonna do...? In any case, I wouldn't fault RND any more or any less for making the same decision UA made to make pedals.

It’s just the obvious next step, plus GC will tell who ever is in charge post Rupert that an RND pedal will sell like French Fries at McDonald’s.

Correct. Thank you! you could always run the 15 ips color module or run the silver bullet into el fatso for the mega dirt mcgirt. warmer or pushed sound into the fatso clipper into the slow ballistics gel compressor into the crappy transformer saturaturing off those transients into the warmth high frequency limiter and you can use the silver bullet's high shelf to compensate for the further el fatso warmth. it might be a little too dirty but it will be big, analog, and smashed.

Personally, I never warmed up to the 15IPS color module. Not sure why. Sure didn't sound like any "good" tape recorder I've ever used.

The TM79 Colour module is the one that always interested me more. Once upon a time, I had thoughts of putting 8 or 16 channels of TM79 into a custom box I wanted to make. But then the Bereich Density came along and I moved on. I'm still kind of curious about the TM79 though.

i think i sounds good and cool. Bit out of my price range sadly but still cool. Be fun to mix with I'm sure.

Price gouging--a real reach as to it's usefulness. Could build your own transformer box instead.
