I really like this one just wish that they would update it to 64-bits and give me some way of getting rid of the damned outdated nag screen.

One of my favorite organ vstis. I have used it a fair amount. It sounds great and is very versatile.

though I have a few tuners I seem to use this one more than all of the rest combined. I like the bold face.

One of my favorite saturators in a world inundated with saturators. The versatility and ease of use are truly exceptional considering it's free.

fun little piece of kit. Crunches up just right and is level dependent and so only compresses at the peaks.

Not at all impressed here. You go to the website and they oversell it and you know damned well there's a catch but you can't find a price for anything on the site just lots of notices for a free download. The downloader is simple enough but the installer does not give you an option to not install the stand alone player on your desktop.
But here is where it gets interesting. The program opens up and you have to sign up and sign in. Most of the great features they offered you are locked and waiting for you to buy. Sure there are three or four amps (was looking forward to the Acoustic Bass amp). The bulk of the cabinets are free but not the stomps. There's a delay and a looper but not even one generic Fuzz box. You get a better pedal board with the free Lost in 70s amps. The lay out of the interface is confusing as far as routing goes but the thing that got me is that when using it as a VST in Cakewalk you have to leave your DAW to make any adjustments the knobs are too sensitive which is good because you can't hear any of the changes you are making anyway. And then it started screwing with my audio engine, latency for days and harsh but that could be because of the odd routing options.
Could not uninstall this fast enough. They need to be a lot more upfront with the pricing and I just can't recommend this at all given the quality of free and paid plug ins out there. Maybe the stand alone phone apps are better but as a VST I was not impressed.

I love this thing. Lots of ton and very versatile. Lots of twin type open back amp styles which are quite welcome in a world with no shortage of hugh gain heavy duty amps. Many of us, however, do not play metal. Here's hoping they update it to 64-bits.

Nice little Tweed amp in a world filled with High Gain monsters, Have used this on a few Americana tracks and they turned out great. I also am using it with my new Lap steel which I am teaching myself to play. Generally I slap the Devil Spring Reverb by Lost in 70s to give it just that little extra push, .

Great new tool, particularly for those of us who may never be able to afford the full version of Kontakt. It's very useful especially once you discover PianoBook. I just wish that they had a few more instruments there even if they have more than I could ever use already. There are tons of pianos, as one would expect, but also some more unusual and ideosyncratic ones. Most of the sample libraries and instruments are usually created by community members but they're all very good, at least the ones I have perused.

Fun and simple to use once you wrap your around the sort of goofy names. It's nice to have a tool that isn't overly and needlessly complicated. You just slap it on and dial it in and get on with the next task. No need to overthink it or get bogged down in choice paralysis.
