When to use it
A tight high-gain front end for metal and hard rock. Like the other Ignite preamps it needs a cab or IR loader after it.
What producers say
KVR users mostly praise the sound, especially with impulse responses, though one found it harsh and missing a dry/wet control. Results depend on where it sits in the chain.
