Very hands on limiter from the Abbey Road limited edition. If you want a Queen/Beatles type drum or guitar feel, this does that exactly. If you just want to drive up a sound you can bypass the comp/limiting section altogether and select 'THD' so the box will turn into a harmonic distortion box. Handy if your plugins sound too digital... It does what it promises and surprises you if you crank it up.
