Amazing

One of the best plugins I have ever used I love it so much

versatile et sound great

Its versatility and richness of sound is surprising. I really like the balance knobs between the tape/tube and the MS Matrix. The Glue and Gravity modes are really a good addition.

Amazing

Really awesome new mastering tool to add to the arsenal. It is also perfect for bus compression as well as just saturating with the limiter turned off -- that's probably my favorite use case so far.

Wild!

First impressions are great. Works well on a drum bus or master outs. Really impressed with how versatile this is. Home run!

Good but not perfect

I like it on my drumbus. The Build in clipper takes care of everything. But for me I feel like the gain structure is a little weird. I almost everytime have to crank the input and max out the threshold to get it to do its work.
