Thanks, it's great, I just plunked some bass through it and it's a lot
of fun. Arch User Repository is updated.

Some things I noticed:
1) The default connections, especially with the meterbridge enabled,
seem weird to me.
2) Nice new website, I really like that sunburst theme, but on the
website it's a jpg which shows lots of aliasing, maybe a png
or something would be better?
3) Everything's quite small on my screen, I can hardly read some of the
things, like 'resonanz' and 'vibrato'.

Anyway, it's lots of fun :)
Regards,
Philipp
