Cool plugin. But I have loud klicks/spikes or whatever you can call this, when I load the plugin or switch the presets. It is not a big issue at all, I simply lower the volume of the channel. I write this, just to let you know!

It's a pretty good plugin. Even the oldschool 200's GUI design is actually appealing. But its a CPU hog and I get Spike's when loading the plugin and after awhile from using it stops from outputting sound signal from my daw and I am forced to restart my DAW. It's bummer. Using Studio One on window 10.

Using the x64 version on Win10, sure the GUI looks like it was designed in 1995 but It's very good tube simulation plugin, very rich overtones. It's very light on modern 2021 systems even with oversampling. Very good.

This crashes too much to be funny, had to let go.

I agree. It crashes. Looking for version 1.1 to see if it's the same case and the developers website is broken at the download page.

You'd probably get help if you state the DAW, Rig OS and core Rig specs that you are using. Lemme guess the DAW though, Logic or Reaper? hehe. As for FL Studio users, I noticed a 100% CPU usage spike on launching the plugin on v20.0.4.629. Switching the channel to surround and back to stereo normalizes the CPU usage for me. Hope that helps

It work's if you don't switch from high to low oversampling. I mean from 1 to 16x and back, sounds good but becareful!

It was a total car wreck on my system. CPU usage that went off the scale. Nothing would work. Shame it looks good
