Still the best

I have owned so many FX apps claiming to emulate real life effects hardware. Some achieve it to some extent, some don't at all. This one sounds EXACTLY like hardware I have used in the past. The flanger, just for one example, gives me goosebumps as it sounds to me like an exact copy my friend's DigiTech multi fx pedal we used to play with in the early 90s. Well worth much more than the price, and I cannot recommend it enough.

Another must have

Every Igor app is a must have and this one is no different. It’s more straightforward than some of his more esoteric offerings and it saves me processing power to have all my effects in 1 plug-in instead of trying to achieve the same effect with 4-6 plug-ins in AUM. I love cranking down the bit rate and smearing all my sounds with this. 9/10

After a couple of weeks . . .

This app is a unique take on the music FX app, but unlike the others this brings them all under one umbrella app. If you're familiar with the authors UI used in his other apps, you'll feel right at home, but don't worry if you've never used any as this one is surprisingly easy to produce warm and interesting results. Like many of his apps though, on the surface you'll be able to produce something quick and easily, but as you drill down into the many options available, you can find yourself in tweak heaven getting some truly wonderful if not at times bizarre results. The documentation is there if you need it, but for me half the fun is seeing what happens when you dig in and poke something. All in all it's going to compliment and enhance any creative musicians / sound engineer collection of apps.

Lovely, warm retro sounds

Seasoned IOS based music makers will have lots of FX apps that do similar things to this one, but few if any accomplish that in the same app. Controls are easy to use, FX very nice warm retro quality, and getting something unique is made easy. What I don’t get is why the presets are all labelled A1, B2, etc, with no clues as to what sounds they include. Also, it is only possible to have 5 modules in use at any one time, and switching their order is not as intuitive as it could be. I’d much prefer it if the app allowed more modules, and swapping positions could be accomplished by simple drag and drop.
