Easy to use!

For some reason, this thing is just so easy to use. I can already know what I want to do with it, and then just dial in the settings right away. Love how easy it is to add distortion tube-live distortion, or more of a tape-like distortion. Also, it's great on vocals for helping with sibilance. And works will with drums and especially bass so that you won't make the low end sound too dull.

Great colour

Perfect for the drum buss, and just passing the mix buss through it colours it nicely

Worth it

Honestly made my drums sound so so good. I can’t afford the hardware at the moment and I am more than happy with this software.

I love the control with this thing. It's also really hard to make it sound bad.
