Maybe it was the video compression, or perhaps the audio compression, but none of those guitar sounds sounded good to me in that video, very nasal and cotton-wooly, boxy even, as if using an EQ and hi/lo-passes to get rid of the inherent fizz and pre-fit into a very specific kind of mix. Same deal with the audio samples on the website, very lacking in body for me and yet still fizzy.

I'm sure it'll be an interesting tool for recording with, but to my atrophied ears I really can't tell a difference between this and other software distortion/bitcrushing systems, including the ones I already own that came free with the DAWs (Logic, Record, Live). It just didn't sell it to me.
