Brody Murakam - Gearslutz post - "I just got mine today, and I have to say it freakin rocks! I recently sold my analog console and was doing a lot of mixing in the box, and I lost that good analog harmonic distortion and this thing gave me back more than what I had lost! It's good for anything, I even strap it across my mix bus after an SSL bus compressor, with very light and subtle distortion, the valves add some great warmth with no loss in quality and it really does give some balls to your mix. Great for vocals, guitars, drums - your mix - anything! I'm definitely glad I got this thing. I'd like to get the Phoenix next. Two thumbs up for the Cult' Vult' thumbsup thumbsup"
