Well, I think they are all great.
The SSL channel, and CLA compressors are in my top 5 go-to plugins that I use ALL the time. They are life changing.
The
Kramer Sig is the biggest bummer of the bunch... BUT, the guitar plug can do great things quickly. I'm not a fan of the others in that bundle. Sometimes I'll throw that on guitars I do for friends, because it's an instant better (but not too extreme), and so they don't have to fiddle with a 'raw' sound.
The
Maserati Sig is cool. I don't really get what he was going for with the 'guitars', it's kinda a strange collection of sounds. 'Vocals' is OK, but seems very pop/R&B oriented, or maybe late 90's pop. The 'bass' plugin is pretty cool, and the 'drums' for kick and snare is not bad at all. I don't use this much, but I do audition in a mix the 'bass' plugin every now and again.
The
CLA Sig is VERY impressive and the only MUST BUY in the Sig bunch so far. It seems more naturally tweak-able than the other signature series plugins. If you like Lord-Alge mixes, and you would like your music to sound that way, these will get you in the ballpark even if you don't know what you're doing. If you DO know what you're doing, they're a great tool to rough our quickies, or while working up a production, or using one 'here and there' in a full mix. If you hate modern music, or only like retro rock, or hyper dynamic jazz, etc, then obviously these aren't for you.
