PSP release Hammond B-3 Chorus/Vibrato emu plug-in

No-brainer; bought it without listening. For loyal customers, only about $17, and $39 for everyone else until sale ends and it goes to $69.

PSP makes my favorite spring reverb plug-in (used to use the ones from Softube and Overloud), and they already have the Leslie effect, so some are speculating they'll go full-out and do a Hammond B-3 Virtual Instrument next. :-)

Not sure how soon I'll use this plug-in and do a shootout, as I don't have any B-3 parts on my current jazz album and am trying not to spend time on other projects until it is finished.

My main comparison will be to the built-in Chorus/Vibrato of the current Hammond XK-1c, which is my fourth clone wheel (I started on Roland VK-7, then Hammond XK-1, then XK-3c and now XK-1c).

Got the email and listened to the demo. I will say this - it's fairly accurate as to what was on the original B3's and for me that's the issue - I was never nuts about the effect to begin with. I might give the demo a shot this week but am not holding out hope.

As to pricing - I only have a small handful of PSP s/w so my price only dropped to $36.57. AD has it at $34.95 when logged in.

I don't know that many players outside of gospel music that even use the effect; seems to be mostly a Leslie (save for Jon Lord who used a guitar amp - Fender Twin IIRC).

You just had to give me a good reason to consider this, didn't you? Damn!

At its $69 price, naw, I don't need this. In fact, I don't need this, I don't need this, I don't need this… I may buy it anyway @ $31.75.

I have an actual B-3 and NEVER use the vibrato, but I do use the lightest chorus setting almost all of the time.

It does run through a Leslie, too.

What's to keep someone from using this to modify another sound?

Absolutely nothing. There's a word for that… creativity, perhaps?

They've been using DP9 to do their demos for some time now and that's a Good Thing.

Haven't even tried out L'otary (sp?) yet, but if it's PSP, it pretty much has to be good. Best compressor plugs on the market, also a big fan of their reverb and delay plugs.
