On the artist page on the reFX site, Willem Rebergen of Headhunterz writes, "As for the plugins I have been a big fan of Nexus and Metrum and of course never to forget the Vanguard, with which I learned to make my very first sounds. A big thanks to Refx & Vengeance for these gems!"

"These are some crazy edits, and to do that, I used iZotope Stutter, and that's a really funny plugin, I compare it a little bit to the (Sugar Bytes) Effectrix, but it... works different. You can just scroll with them, you can just... scroll through the presets while it's playing." (32:05)
"I used the iZotope Vinyl... to make it sound a little bit like it's been played through a really old system and to make it a little thinner..." (33:50)
Headhunterz states that he's a big fan of this plugin in this testimonial.

In the 200th issue of Computer Music magazine, in the “video masterclass” at page 66, at 48:45 of the video, Headhunterz opens the window for the Oxford Inflator from the channel strip inspector in Logic. Headhunterz uses this effect plugin on the kickdrum to prevent any unwanted clip distortion created by Logic Pro before continuing to distort the kickdrum further.
At this point in the video, Headhunterz says, “Inflator, I always use them for volume control. If I start distorting, it will obviously also distort the output of Logic, so to stop it from doing that I add an Inflator, and I just put on the clip button, so it clips through the Inflator. It stops it from clipping in Logic itself, so when you add the next plugin, it will take it as a clean sample instead of going through the Logic distortion.”
The video can only be viewed by purchasing the 200th issue of Computer Music magazine.
In a Twitch video, Headhunterz is seen using the Nicky Romero Kickstart Sidechain Compression Plugin for his music production.
