    Complaints (3)

    • “Some module functions (such as VCA linear vs exponential mode) are only accessible via the right-click module menu.”

      PressMusicRadar · April 2022Read the review

    • “the ability to switch between Linear and Exponential responses is hidden in the ‘back panel’ settings, with no front panel indication of what mode it’s currently in.”

      PressMusicRadar · April 2022Read the review

    • “The online manual is not complete (which diminishes the ability to use some modules to their fullest extent).”
