Well, I have had a liquid mix since they were released.
Sooo
first I would say, try the emulations for yourself and see what gets you the reults YOU want.

I use the brit classic tube 1 on bass for when I am just looking to smooth down the sound a little, and it gives a nice velvet edge for deep sounds.

The US modern copycat is great for slamming the hell out of your bass

And the primitive US classic tube 2 is also nice for taming bass.

For kicks I generally want something that gives a nice hard round sound, for techno anyway, so I use the Dunk A/US Modern Fet1 or the US classic solid state 1 and 2, although I am starting to get into the sound the Meat Pie Brit 60`s class A gives me.

Just play.

For EQ I looooove the massive passive. there is good ssl stuff in there too, but ssl is for pop music, who wants that for techno!!!???
