limited growl effects but overpriced and underwhelming filters
The only thing I like about this is that you can create standard formant vowels with the bandreject to create cookie-cutter growls, which IMO is only good if you want to add characteristic to sounds that aren't necessarily a true growl bass. Not worth 100$ IMO give the crappy filters that this thing claims to be superior at. Oh well!

Artist usage

Used for the "reverse chords" and "drop piano" on "The Girl", as stated by Hellberg in the song's official Splice project annotations (released May 1, 2015).
Reverse Chords: In my opinion the reverse chords are so important in the track. It's what gives the break that dark, ambient feeling. Without it the break would be so empty. I basically just took the chords, put a bunch of reverb on em, some EQing/filtering and put a Sugabytes [sic] WOW-filter on it. The WOW filter is what gives the sound it's character.
DropPiano: The piano in the drop is made using TruePianos. Like the reverse chords, this also has a WOW-filter on it to give it more edge and character.
During the Monstercat SXSW Label Showcase collaboration with Haywyre, Aero Chord uses the Sugar Bytes WOW Filter Plugin at loop 34:7.
Will Sparks showed on Snapchat how he made the offbeat bass of his track ,,Sick like that''
