Critic Reviews

Waves OneKnob Bundle review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Waves OneKnob Phatter is part of a bundle that aims to simplify sound processing with a single dial per effect. While the concept is appealing for its ease of use, it might not satisfy those seeking comprehensive control. The Phatter, a bass booster, delivers punch and drive at moderate settings, but at extreme settings, it can add excessive drive. This simplicity may appeal to beginners but could feel limiting for experienced producers. Overall, the approach may seem too basic given its price, making it a mixed bag in terms of utility and value.
