Quotes


Bassment

Bassment is the ultimate modern swiss army knife of bass amps! It sounds amazing and it has every feature you could want in an amp plugin, plus some incredible 'smart' features that will have you sounding like a million bucks in a matter of seconds!

DIFIX

I've been using DIFIX ALL the time and it sounds like magic on guitars! Even vocals, it really helps bring them to life!

Hyperspace

Hyperspace is my go-to 'Trippy' Travis Scott type effect, we get some really amazing sounds out of that.

Verbum Entropic Hall

Verbum is probably the most versatile reverb I've heard in a while. You can get real dirty or gritty, or you can go lush and legendary with a beautiful pristine sound. There's so much control from width to colour and reflection choice, it makes it very easy to dial in a great sound within seconds. The Legendarism knob is my favourite, having access to the 'cleanliness' of the reverb is a real game changer!

FireCobra

I am addicted to FireCobra, it's on every single vocal I've done in the past few months!
