Only had this box for a few days now, but it is AWESOME. Not wild about how the threshhold on "splat" is so low that I have to radically reduce the gain or the side-chain threshhold. But otherwise, I love everything about this thing. Bass, keys, guitar. Can't wait to try some drum busses through it.

Another awesome feature is that when it's off, it's in bypass. So you don't have to remove it from the signal path, or turn it on and put it in bypass, if you don't want it. I just leave it on the buss of my mixer, and just flip it on when I want to play with it.

Splat is what I use to tame keyboard pads among other things. just pin the keyboard down with all light blazing and you have a beautifully saturated and pinned sound.I think splat is Greg's take on the SSL buss comp.
