Version reviewed: 0.1 on Mac
This a surprisingly good sounding, useful plugin. I only used it to thicken up a clean sound and it excels at this, it is also very musical sounding and responds well to playing dynamics. A good partner to the excellent Malibu Tremolo/Reverb plugin they also kindly give away for free.
I tried PeakEater as I am looking for a limiter which gives smooth clipping without distortion and is easy to use. PeakEater is a nicely laid out plugin which is intuitive to use and so far has given good results on my M1 Mac Mini using Studio One 6. Visually, I think it is comparable to much more expensive plugins and to my ears, which I admit are old, it does not overly affect or colour the original.
I'm a bit disappointed after trying the HD Cart reverb (tested about 10 presets with guitar and synth) after reading the superlatives in the websites description of it. Perhaps it's a different type of reverb modelling, or a vintage tone I don't have the ear for, but I don't think it sounds better than any I use, which includes Breverb (guitar), Valhalla (guitar) or Audio Damage (Synth)?
