The sounds you can create are just incredible, and the controls give you so much flexibility. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add unique effects to their mixes!” "This is a fantastic AUv3 with huge sonic possibilities. I’ve tried a lot of delay-based effects, but this one offers more options and control. A must-have for sound designers and musicians who want to experiment."
