Because:
1) the plugin sounds good,
2) there are no stock presets,
3) this set turned out to be really useful.
Bonch-Bruevich plugin is free, it lets you to control your newly added harmonics with 2 related knobs, to tweak input gain and to manipulate your harmonic balance. It also sums everything to mono, bringing up that "old character". One would think that mono operation is bad, but suprisingly, monoed and driven sounds suddenly appeared to be really pleasant! I tried to take the most of it, designing presets for a "broad" use, so they are meant for all different kind of sources you may face. For example, preset I've made for Massive-style synths sounded good on them and much worse on anything else; drum preset works nice on any drum rompler I've tried, etc.
You're welcome to try them out, I hope that this library can help you to speed up our workflow. If something is not right, tweak your input gain.
Okay, here we go! Here's the presets list.----------------------------------------------------------
Presets list:
• default for grand piano and B3 organ and pretty much everything
it just sounds nice on almost everything. piano gets pulled away, gets nice retro recording character.
• for bass overdriving
only low sounds are expected, gain is high, and you get lots of harmonics.
• for CZ and other PD synths
I'm a phase distortion sounds fan, so here's something to add bite to them.
• for drum romplers
works good on various ordinary drum sets.
• for FM and other harmonic synths
adds grit to otherwise "nice" frequency content of FM-style sounds.
• for full mix 1
• for full mix 2
• for full mix 3
slightly different styles for rich signal. the effect is subtle and nice, I've tried'em with instances running for separate channels and they do a nice job in stereo, too.
• for guitars
for both acoustic and electric ones.
• for Harmor
haven't got around to test with other additive synths, sounds REALLY nice on Harmor.
• for JX-like saw synths and generic synths
JX supersaws and noname's bad filters are quite sizzly already, so that one adds just a touch.
• for massive serum etc wavetable synths
for hi-gain and hi-freq content synths with "focused" sound. to get them defocused a bit!
• for sampled drums and 808 overdrive
one-shot lovers, get this thing on! it's similar to bitcrush and works really, really good.
• for textures and everything turned to old tapes (!!)
it works very sweet on everything not too loud, including textures — hence "!!".
one of my personal favourites.
• for textures just crashed a bit
• for textures just getting mono
first adds a bit of sizzle to pads and textures, second is almost unnoticable on them.
• for VA like sylenth1
adds presence to synths that tend to sound a bit dull on high freqs due to hard filter action.
be advised: the effect is quite noticeable, so it won't work well on every VA synth.
• for vocals
tested on my voice and a bunch of acapellas. it gets their sound "effected in a tube way".

Warning: watch your LFs, as they would quickly build up with high Input settings.
Thanks to you, thanks to a person who've created the plugin and - enjoy!
