Anyone who has ever worked with the analogue models will easily recognize their character. The replicas are very well done. In conjunction with the amp simulations of the Dream and the Ruby, which also sound very good, you get a sound that can definitely be described as “mix-ready”.
I use the Max with 2 compressor models in parallel: the 1176 for the Telecaster into the above-mentioned pedals and the La-2a into a LR-Baggs Voiceprint Di for the acoustic guitar.
Either to play directly into the DAW or in a live context: it just sounds awesome, or as we in Germany say: schweinegeil!
