There are indeed multiple versions of vari-mus, and they do differ, but there are some things that stay pretty much the same among all. There is definitely a fabulous little slice of the input dial, a range at which you are starting to hit it a little harder, but not quite slamming it yet, where it just turns into magic. Below it and it's a bit boring, above it and it gets mushy, but when you get in that little range, the thing just sings with a pleasant color, great glue, and a little presence enhancement. It's not the right choice for everything, but on many tracks in popular styles, especially rock, it is a welcome addition.

And a quick note with my moderator hat on: keep it civil!
