They use an emulation package that I won't attempt to explain here  
but it is well documented on line. In very basic terms, they do an  
impulse response test on amps, compressors, etc and model that  
response. Pretty cool stuff and amazingly accurate. You could (and I  
did) take 3 Neve preamps and not be able to tell the difference  
between their emulation and the preamps. In fact, the emulation  
sounded better than one of the preamps! I've not done the same with  
the EQs but I suspect it is similar. I REALLY like the EQ modeling  
and the fact that you can design your own EQ. The hardware connection  
is much simpler to use than screen interfaces although in most cases,  
both are provided.

Loading and switching in between models is easy but not as simple as  
a rack of compressors or EQs only due to switching times. I don't  
find it to be a problem.
