Softube Model 80 / u-he Repro-5 Comparison

Reviewing major differences between Softube Model 80 and u-he Repro-5. I mainly spotted on feature-wise factors that can be objectively verifiable. You can download these comparison presets to check sounds by yourself: https://plugmon.jp/model23/ Notes: -The question "which is closer to a hardware?" is not on the table here. -Sound quality is more or less transformed throughout recording, exporting and uploading. -I'm a heavy user of Softube Model 72, American Class A, Tape, Dirty Tape and u-he Hive and Diva. Though I tried to be mindful of keeping it as fair as possible, I still might have played favorite with u-he because I have worked with the guys a couple of times before. I highly recommend that you check the points shown in the video by yourself and see how it feels like.
