It's funny, I hear the same pissing and moaning about Overloud's PACE protection. Software vendors have to do what they have to do.

The plugin is based on Interlok/iLok/PACE protection.

It can be authorized with either iLok dongle or software authorization file, but the protection scheme is that one.

It's indicated in EULA (License Agreement) that those are the two authorization systems.
The installers you're downloading are not 'demo' installers, but full version installers.
The 14-day demo period is managed by the protection, that's the reason those files are installed.
If you download the Interlok drivers from their website, you should be able to completely remove PACE Drivers (be aware that all iLok or Interlok based plugins won't work anymore in this way).

Granted that we won't change the protection scheme anytime soon, if you have suggestions on how we can build our installers and how we can tell you what gets installed or how to uninstall it, please write to me personally or PM me.

as far as I know, Overloud is a 1 time licensing to a single pc which is fine by me :rock:
 
Any licensing scheme will be broken quickly. Those who are willing to cheat the creators of software products will always find a way to do it. It sucks but it is a fact and I know because I work in the software business.

I think its either/or (iLok if you want it, one time licensing if you don't). Which is certainly fine by me. But there are those who are STILL complaining about the PACE drivers that are installed in either case. All upstanding citizens who would never think of pirating software, of course.

Actually..thats not completely true but I think it will be in Axefx's case because he plans to charge a lot

Line6 VST and Toneport Lines have not been cracked--why? because they offer like 200 amps for a few hundreds bucks. They are giant they are because their prices attract millions--not a few thousand. That business model has destroyed anyone charging too much for modelers.

Personally I dont buy the nonsense that cliff put a lot of work into this so he is allowed to charge way more than Amplitude or Podfarm. No one has put more money into modeling that Line6--they own every amp and unit they modeled---I doubt cliff has hardly any of the amps he models. Anyone can download the spec sheets. Plus those companies have hundreds of employees....'Fractal has what...a few?

But I think everyone here can tell he has an elitist attitude who only understands-- charge more, sell few. Unfortunately that leads to cracked more, sell less--in the software business. I think he will learn very quickly what all the others already know---you must price fair for plugins and its never a good idea to require an interface---Waves already lost that battle with the GTR failure.

Just a note
I wouldnt cook up too many of those 8 channel USB interfaces because just about no one is gonna want that in a modeler. Adding on useless stuff to drive up the price is gonna put people off.

Wait until you see our GUI.... schweeeeet.

Yes, the pirates are a serious problem. Therefore...

You MUST buy the Axe-PC hardware interface for the product to work. The hardware interface is also your product key. Each one is serialized and locked to your software. The software will NOT run if the interface is not attached to your computer. You don't need to use the interface (i.e. if you're running as a plug-in) but it still needs to be attached. Your computer also needs to be connected to the internet periodically to verify licensing.

I know a lot of people are going to complain about this but we have to do it. A LOT or work went into this product and we need to recoup our investment.


PERIODIC ? :doh: :doh: :doh:

My studio PC is totally off the internet as are many others who are serious about using their daw as a tool, to connect for perodic verification would be a huge pain. Maybe for updates it would be ok.,,
 
Sounds clean and sterile. There’s no resonance and the tone is thin with very little dynamics or complexities as you would expect from a well made and dialed in tube amp. Good effects but it stops there...

Big "meh" on hi gain sounds.

Great lower gain ones though. That goes on pretty much all the modelers/simulators I've heard. But this one's better than most I'll admit to that.

What would be very cool if it is at all possible would be if it could mimic an amp that could take a mix of tubes…

Like a typical Diezel can take a mix of EL34s and 5881s, or 6CA7s and 6L6s, or 6550s and EL34s, or 6L6s and 6550s, or KT88s and 6L6s and EL34s, or 6550s and EL34s and KT100s or XYZ…etc.

I think that the little feller would blow out an IC in the path of the A/D D/A converter(s) while it tries to keep up with the synthetic PI breaking down and distorting, not to mention mimicking transconductance. ;)
