Been demoing for many hours now. These things are little gems, for sure! Simple, simple, simple! They sound extremely 'open/airy' and pure. I've put them up next to all of my 'top' plugin EQs and they held up 'brilliantly' (pun intended).
On a drum bus, the the RS127 Rack added a really nice top end sparkle and openness. Instead of killing the room sound, it actually brought it out a little and added to the depth and dimension by doing so. I guess it is what we generally refer to as 'air'. The 135 worked very well on electric guitar and they all worked wonders on acoustic guitar. They could even be used on the 2Bus without worry! Ultimately, I was able to match them with stuff I already have and I don't know if I could justify the expense right now. But, it definitely took (what I consider) the cream of the crop to rival them. Ultimately, I had to turn to the Duende X-EQ and the UAD Pultec Pro (plus some time tweaking) to match or beat what I was getting out of these plugs.
I'm going to keep working with them until my demo expires. Knowing me, I'll miss the simplicity when they expire and will probably end up with them. Fo anyone who wants nearly instant, 'professional-sounding' results and/or does not have any other higher-end plugin EQs, these things are an absolute no-brainer! I mean, DAMN, they are really good!
