## Most critical reviews (3 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sounds amazing until..

*2020-05-20*

Loading this breaks my whole garageband session now. There’s just a high pitched click and then everything goes silent. The only way to fix it is to start a new project without loading this eq.. so it’s kinda useless

### 3/5 — Needs a MacOS release to be realistically usable

*2023-01-28*

Title says it all. I like this as a 550A emulator, especially for the price. Pretty nice features and interface, although I don’t love the curve in the saturation knob. Basically goes from no audible difference to total fuzz in like one notch. Feels like they used a virtual “linear pot” where a log would have been the ticket. I also would like an option to use stepped gain values like on an actual 550. All that said, the sound of this thing is pretty nice.

BUT. The lack of a version for MacOS cripples this plugin. Using more than a few instances on a project quickly overloads my iPad, forcing me to try to port it to my laptop in order to keep moving forwards. Then I find out all my plugins are disabled with no hope of using them. This, imo, is a major oversight and it relegates this from tool to toy status. Yes, I know it’s just GarageBand, but come on.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2022-10-14*

These guys kill it with every app they make. IMHO they are underpriced. Sound great, easy to use, get them all! New synth kicks!
