The main difference that makes the Orban "win" with the same settings, same goals, is that the final clippers are quite nice for the era they were created in. The 8100 in 1975, and the 8200 really just duplicates that design of the clippers in 8100 Card 5.

If Sound Solution 2 had actual distortion-canceling clipping, and better filters for a less "phat" sound on band 3.... it could not only compete with the "big boys"

on top markets, but have a running chance at beating them. For free though, heh... you're not going to ever come this close for a long time I think. At least unless Alessandro releases his next audio processing for free, but yeah even so it won't cost that much at all. And at least from what I heard, there's maybe only 1-2 audio processing platforms that could compete against it. And they aren't made by Orban or Omnia. heheheheh
