I tried it and I gotta say it is an excellent plugin. CPU hit is big, but why not print/freeze?

Do we really need to have everything be tweakable to the end?

I'll be buying for my mastering setup, likely. It sounds like a driven preamp when cranked. The trick I found is to drive it and then tweak the eq subtly to affect the curve of the harmonics. If you push it too hard it turns to crap, but any analog front end will turn to crap.

Knowing the engine is so heavy makes me comfortable knowing it has a lot of power behind. It can sweeten and make the high end golden brown or really thicken up the low mids.

Good work guys!
