I've already learned a few tricks for my bag just from "reverse engineering" the sounds yielded by the plug.

I haven't tried the bass, guitar or effects plugs yet, but judging just by the drum and vocal plugs, I can say unequivocally that these signature plugs are far more useful on a regular basis than the Maserati or Kramer ones. Hell, I may end up using the vocal plug on a send/return setup just to have the verb/delay/chorus sounds that are available in a one stop shop and sound so great off the bat.

i agree i am also impressed with the FX so far
