La tecnología detrás de estos plugins es la misma que Nebula. AA está sampleado equipos analógicos y consiguen la distorsión harmónica y respuesta en fase de los equipos originales. Los equalizadores tienen 0 aliasing. El resultado es real y, en mi opinión, significa un cambio de juego
Os dejo una lista no oficial de los equipos sampleado a hasta ahora.
