In this video I discuss the differences between the Vertigo VSM-2 hardware and the VSM-3 plugin. The plugin matches quite well and when you consider one is priced at $29 in a sale and the hardware is priced at £6800 you have to ask yourself is there really that much of a difference to warrant paying 300 times more? You be the judge. I know as soon as I heard it I had to buy the hardware for one very simple reason.
VSM-2 „full version“ additional features:
- Two independent stereo coloration circuits
- Stereo & M or S Generation of pure 2nd & 3rd harmonics
