Voxengo Crunchessor

Crunchessor - good for drums and percussions.  Fixed ratio, “style” selector - suitable for adjusting the sound for any genre and character.

Deft compressor - good for other track types.  Punch knob - excellent for transients/attack management

Marquis compressor - good as SSL analog for gluing groups (variable soft mode of amplifier - pleasant to the ear).

I recommend all three compressors at once for purchase.

I cannot believe that Warmifier gives BBE Sonic Maximizer a run for the money.  I was fixated on BBE, but after using Warmifier, there is so much more control that the BBE SM doesn't have: current, voltage tube emulation as well as tube makes/types, LE and HE filter adjustments as well as LE And HE EQ'ing.  Just disgusting! (Don't fret: that's a good disgusting LOL)

Sometimes I have to admit it: I get confused to using Lampthruster and Warmifer, but Warmifer is the unexpected lovechild of Voxengo TubeAmp & Voxengo Sonic Finalizer in my eyes!  I assume that Warmifer is better for the mastering phase when used with Marq.  Compressor, Soniformer and Elephant.....as Lampthruster is good for colorizing tracks in congregation with Voxengo Crunchessor, Voxengo GlissEQ, and Elephant, correct?

Well, enough of my raving.  I'm going back to using this bad boy.  Using Warmifier with AFChorus and Crysonic's Spectra'PE 32-bit limiter is a deadly combo, yo.

Peace,

This last week, I upgraded one of my computers from Windows XP to Win7.  I did this by completely reformatting my partition, and installing everything from scratch.

When it came time to install and authorize all my Voxengo plugs, I was delighted to find something no regular user encounters on a day to day basis - that there is a means to authorize all my licensed Voxengos in a single action.  That is some very clever and very considerate programming, and greatly appreciated by someone faced with the tedious task of installing and authorizing dozens of programs and plugins.

Voxengo plugins are an integral part of my working process now, and just about everything I turn out has been touched in one way or another by your work.  Thanks very much for the great sound, and the little touches that are the product of great programming.
