I really like this drive. It growls at the low end, smoothes the middles and tames the treble. It is basically what I have wanted in my signalchain for a very long time. I’ll post audio examples along with those other modules when everything is finished at version 1.0. It will not be long now.

Operation: The gain controller goes from zero to noise and the cutoff balances the trebles. The volume keeps everything at the right side of too loud. I like it and use it on vocals as well. I like singing through this thing as the drive is easily controlled by the loudness of the voice.

Cheers
Arve

When I wrote my master thesis I struggled with Open Office because I wanted to find out for real how it compares to Microsoft Office. Now I have been a regular user of TextMate and Latex, writing various stuff (text (Latex), PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) almost every day for the last 30 days. To put it simple: I am never going back unless I really, really have to.  TextMate is hereby recommended.
