"The first one is Dischord 2 by Audio Damage. No, it's not a 910 or 949, it's a bit different but i actually have found it indespensible for "Eventidewidening" and getting thise vari-speed double tricks that fall outside of the monitors."
It does not function in the same way the analog units do, it's actually better in some ways than it's analog cousins and as usual the audio snobs who live up on a mountain road looking down at the rest of us will say it lacks "magic" or some other intangible term which usually correlates directly to "broken" or some other real condition that was a direct flaw in the design or the build.
As a closet luddite I find the Dischord 2 plug as an amazing tool that is as deep or as plug and play as one would like in a unit of this style. It goes beyond the realm of the original hardware units which makes for a processor that can be as clear or as "broken" as one would like. What is especially worthy of note is the routing and mix values throughout the processor which give an immense amount of sonic control even without the weight and messy cabling involved in hardware.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I did a free beta test run of the Audio Damage bucket brigade plug in because I love their stuff and wanted to be a part of developing a BB style plug that brought me back to the days of noisy tempermental pieces of shit worth of a date with my audio.
In closing, tis understood how incredibly unhip it is to talk plug ins on the internet; especially when people are watching that might be able to further my career in some transformer embracing esoteric movie pitch kind of way.
Next weeks essay will be on how to control Asian call girls with a 250k potentiometer.
