SKnote Disto review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

SKnote Disto is not a flawless emulation of its high-end hardware inspirations, but it delivers impressive sound quality and versatility at a remarkable price. Its sleek GUI offers intuitive control, allowing users to switch between stereo and mid/side modes effortlessly. While it lacks presets and a wet/dry mix control, its ease of use compensates for these drawbacks. The absence of a toggle for simulated analogue noise might irk some, but the plugin's ability to emulate both the Distressor compressor and Fatso Jr. tape saturation makes it a compelling choice for budget-conscious producers.
