Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And if it's an SSL... well... it ain't. At less than half the price the Liquid Mix is much more appealing with tons more models and color options.

Agreed, Splinter.

I hope they are not charging just for the name. Comparing it (hypothetically) to UAD-1's Channel Strip or even Metric Halo's version (not to mention Wave Arts and others), could Duende really be 3-4 times better?

It is nice not to see "for HTDM only" for a change, fwiw.

But if none of those tons of models and color options sound as good as the one SSL thingie...

Ah, the questions linger...

Agreed. I've just never been a big SSL guy. Sure, tons of hits have been mixed on them, but if I want color to add to my DAW, the SSL just isn't the color I'm gonna reach for very often and certainly not the only one with that price tag.
