NDSP Quad Cortex

And if it IS a Dev Archetype, well, that’s basically a 5150/Dual Rec with a shitload of delay and reverb so half the work is done for them already. (Yes, I know Dev uses a Diezel model in the Fractal, but the dude’s never had a Diezel head and has stuck to Dual Recs and 5150’s his whole career)
Exactly, just choose any 5150 amp model and drown it in a shitton of delay - et voilà, there's your Archetype HevyDevy.
 
If they did, it still takes a helluva long time for them to port their plugins. My guess is that even if a lot of the algorithms are the same, they either have to optimize them for the QC DSP or there's at least a lot of other work involved.

I guess we'll see when the new one launches and how long it will take for a compatible version to come out.
They kept claiming (somehow) that cross-platform support for presets was the hard part. Which, I dunno... Maybe it's hard the first time, getting the user interface and underlying file system in place; but thereafter - provided the amp/effects blocks actually sound and interact similarly - it's just a conversion process. Tedious intern work at the very worst, and one would hope it could be automated besides.
