Good, useful collection of professional, but compact plugins. I have already bought some of them in the past, nice that they now are free. My favorite is Ensemble, a really unique, comparably more vivid chorus with a very unique character, but also the other Essentials sound and work fine, although I have only installed the ones, which I really need, which are about half of them.

Another advantage of this collection is, that you can use the plugins individually but you can also combine them with the help of Snap Heap to your own, personal multi effects plugin or use them in combination with the other Kilohearts Premium plugins.

The installation system also works fine and also allows individual installation or upgrading of specific plugins.

Good concept, good tones.

An essential download for anyone, and a fantastic collection of highly useful effects. Each one has a pretty simple stripped-down interface, and they don't have a vast array of parameters. But this is precisely their strength IMO, and exactly why I end up using these over more eleborate, parameter-heavy FX. Less is indeed more, and Kilohearts have created a really useful suite of staple FX here (as well as a few more interesting ones like the Reverser and Gate FX). Great job. 11/10 from me.
