Pod Farm 2.5 to replace Echo Farm & Amp Farm in PT10?

Is it possible to get the same sounds of Echo Farm or Amp Farm TDM using the effects or amps in Pod Farm 2.5?

I'm looking for a replacement in Pro Tools, seeing as Amp Farm & Echo Farm will no longer work when moving to the new Pro Tools 10 & the new HDX cards, or at least in PT11 64 bit when Avid releases that.

So, are the tape echo or delay models & amps exactly the same as my TDM versions I'm using in Pro Tools TDM, just more selections?

I don't expect to be able to recall them using Pod Farm, just love the sound on a lot of older PT sessions I have them in.

Thanks

Greg

Re: Pod Farm 2.5 to replace Echo Farm & Amp Farm in PT10?

Follow up:

I just tried Pod Farm 2 (2.5 said it would not install on my PPC Mac G5)
After comparing Echo Farm TDM to Pod Farm delays, some are very similar, but some of my favorites are missing. Can anyone tell me is these exisit in Pod Farm 2.5, or if Line6 are planning on adding these?

Maestro® EP-3 Echoplex
Electro-Harmonix® Deluxe Memory Man

(I've posted this question in a this other thread as well, seeing as a simlilar topic is being covered)

  Can anyone answer whether it's a licensing issue for Avid to continue supporting Echo Farm & Amp Farm in future versions of Pro Tools & their new AAX format?
  
  Line6?

      DUC users also concerned & would love to have an answer from Line6 or Avid on the future of these plugs.

        Looking back at a press release from 2000 when these were announced, then followed up with high sample rate versions in 2002. Surely Avid & Line6 know there are thousands of user & sessions out there using these great plugins.

        330 views & nobody has a comment?
        
        Anyone from Line6 to chime in either here or on the DUC forum?
        
        cheers.

        line6 will never chime in as it's not marked as a question...
        they only read posts marked as questions.
        i doubt you'll find many users still using echo farm as a point of reference....
        and of those using it... you further need someone who uses pro tools...
        perhaps your 330 views were people looking for an answer to the same question....
        but more than likely they were curious but didnt meet the critieria you need to get an accurate answer...
        
        to top it all off... line6 really wouldn't comment on a future plan if there is one...
        so you're not likely to get a direct answer either way....

        Thanks for the reply TheRealZap.
        
        I listed this in "POD FARM Questions & remarks"
        
        How does one mark as a question if this is not a question?
        
        thanks.

        that's sort of a category....
        
        look at the bottom of this DOC to see the information pertaining to making it a question:

        and actually... you posted it in a USER group... that generally CANNOT be marked as a question anyway...

        Thanks for the info on postings here at Line6.
        
        So I just picked up my antique land line telephone & got an answer from a real person at Line6!
        
        The deal is this: Digidesign licensed the modeling technology from Line6 & then created and marketed their own plugins, so in other words, it's really up to Avid (formerly Digidesign) to decide if they will offer any future updates or conversions to other formats.
        
        Cheers
        Greg
