I tried it today and wasn't impressed... Bottom line, I thought the reverbs sounded great, and the compression characteristics were more interesting / less pumpy than usual compressor plug ins, however I felt the other options were limited eq settings with complicated CPU hogging gimmicks (re-amp, tape flange, wide chorus spreads, throw, etc.) throughout each one. It was like "instant small and pointy sound" which may be what some people are looking for.
I was especially surprised by how much CPU these take!!! I mean seriously... how does Waves expect every amateur to be the next CLA if they can't use all of these plug ins in on one session?!?!
It's not a necessary bundle to my plug in collection, and it definitely wouldn't change my work flow if I purchased it. ...But it might be nice for a quick go to when a first time musician says "hey I know you haven't started mixing, but are you going to add delay and reverb to my track when this is finished?" "yeah sure man... here you go!" Problem solved.
