> there's demand

And oh boy, is there demand. I've been playing with VSTs for years but only recently started getting into hardware...and if it wasn't for Behringer and their clones, I'd be just dreaming.

Perhaps things are getting better now (because of Behringer's pricing) but taken from someone outside the "scene", the prices the traditional manufacturers charge just look insane. Are they worth it? Probably...I can appreciate good handiwork as much as anyone. But look at it from the point of view of someone who just thought "I'd like to make that sound, what do I need to do it?" and these clones are one of the few things that makes it possible for more people to get into the hobby.

I remember wanting a DevilFish modded 303 as a teenager in the 90s. Behringer's business model has me very conflicted.
