Hello. What's your thoughts about Kazrog plugins? I am thinking to buy True Iron, Retro and MHB.
Seems that they are not so popular, but have good comments about plugins quality.

I thought the opposite. There are always some that don't go for a plugin but True Iron in particular seem pretty highly thought of.

I think their plugins are just 'okay'. Used true iron in the past and liked it. They are priced very good also. I honestly think though, these days there is an abundance of high quality, free plugins that can do more or less the same. VOS , to name just one, has some top tier stuff. Personally I've pretty much given up purchasing plugins, unless something magical comes along, I'm happy with with what I have. Just Demo them and see what you think.
We are so spoilt for choice these days

There is a lot of blurb but just go to downloads and try their stuff. It's great and it's all free

Regarding Kazrog. I have Presswerk from U-HE, but it's little hard for me. It's the reason why I am thinking about Kazrog... need to think more. Because U-HE is really quality company. Thanks

You want a new tool. Buy one. Kazrog stuff is great.

Hahahaha. Maybe you are right. One thing is interesting for me as well. Seems that they don't often update their stuff? For example MHB Green is still have version 1.0? Does anybody know?

MHB is a newer plugin though

Kclip is my only Kazrog plugin and it's great. I use it multiple times in a track, mainly just as a hard Clipper before limiting, but it can do nice tube and tape saturation/distortion. I tried True Iron and wanted to believe I could hear what it was doing but mostly couldn't.

Well, it was released 9 months ago. So. It's not so new...

lots of smoke but no fire. if you already have a saturator that does the job, stick with it
