if you don't wish to respect complexity, that is ok as an opinion, but know that i work hard, so the continuous re-enforcement here of a k.i.s.s. mentality kind of hurts; and i think it's wrong: the journey of electrons inside a sontec could not be simple, or every yahoo would have that sound in their pocket by now.

There is a difference between working hard and surrendering to complexity. I spent a long, extremely hardworking, damn near grueling session with Jerry Tubb this past Thursday. We worked our asses off getting 16/44.1 and 24/96 and mp3's together for a 10 song album of folk music burdened by a tight dealine. The work was in trying this or that in the face of whatever little problem faced us, while maintaining cheerful focus for hours, and hours, assessing the effect of tiny changes to settings.
The chain, however, was not elaborate and it could deliver anything we could reasonably expect to accomplish to help the final result. More would not have been better, in this case.
When it was all in, it had a touch of this, a tiny bit of that, etc. Those little changes begat a large and positive result overall.
