Best saturation plugin! I also bought the paid version, and well finally I stay on the free version in all my mixes! On a drum bus, on a bass, the result is perfect!
Dubbio, ma funziona con ventura ultimo s.operativo? Non me lo vede!

BEST SATURATION PLUGIN! I use the free version on damn near every mix. The free version has its own unique character and it does WONDERS to the low end of anything you put into it. I use it on drums and basses all the time. It's the perfect glue to any track that needs some THUMP. I'm not sure if this is based on any existing analog gear but whatever it is, I am LOVING IT! The paid version is a completely different sounding plugin. The paid version sounds (to me) like an ok copy of Decapitator. I bought the paid version because I loved the free version so much, but I reach for the free version way more often than the paid version. This thing is way too good to be free. Congrats to Audio Assault for creating an absolutely indispensable plugin for my arsenal!

Crazy how the full paid version on your website does not even come close to the free version offered here soundwise!?? This here sounds WAY better than the official most recent one. What happened? Why did you "rewrite the whole thing from scratch" when you already had a perfect plugin? really sad...

So I got the full version for 7 dollars for sale. Lo and behold I like the FREE version better. I tried this on drums and for some reason the free version just has a better snap to it than the full version does. So strange! Enjoy this amazing freebie.

Excellent tool! I was lucky enough to get it in the free full version, which was offered for a short time at Audio Assault. In the full version it has "modes" simulating several compression tools, limiter and leveling amplifier. A wonderful plugin!
Rapaz o plugin realmente é muito bom, pqp.

Use this plugin as a parallel process - copy any track, put this plugin on the track, and slowly blend in with your original track = MAGIC.
lol I did the same thing!

Great on Synth Bass. Just watch your initial input levels. For free & no sign up. What's the catch? Love it!

Fantastic plugin. It can go from really soft to obliterating a track. I appreciate the fact that it has it's own characteristic sound, which you may or may not like. The tone knob definately helps to refine the edges. 5 stars!

Very nice and useful

For bass lines, kick drum, or vocals, astonishing! :)
I don't know how they come up with those crazy EQ curves but combined with it's own distortion this plug has a phenomenal sound specially for drums. Push it over half and yes it gets brutal but in beautiful way. NO other saturation like it.

DECAPITATOR E = HeadCrusher Free .. good for vox, drums
Good call, I tested this and yeah Decap E, Drive around 4, Mix about 50% output and tone to taste is very similar.

Very characteristic sound. Really love it! For a free VST it's incredible.

Trully amazing! Can be used in almost everything, it really makes the difference! As mentioned here, the tone knob can make magic, even avoiding you to add another EQ in the chain. Recommended for harsh and screaming vocals.
This is absolutely gorgeous, everybody should have this. The tone knob is a miracle, that alone is sufficient to have this plugin!!!

A fantastic plugin. It adds harmonic content throughout entire spectrum, not only to the top end - what it does to bass tracks is pure magic!

Thanks for the free version. I don't mind if it's an .exe, as long it's good. Quick review on drums: use it wisely and you might like it.
Pity its an .exe - for someone who is into music production and all types of design, you dont want small plugins that just clog up your programs list... make it a .dll :)
