It’s like Frank’s Red Hot, it makes everything better.
I split mine up into 3 payments of about $240 each and just paid it off.
It’s pricey but when you have it, you know.
I do not think it’s expensive-period-
For the features it offers-period-
If it would cost less I’ll be obviously happy, keen to buy a second…
I do not know the electronics involved - but compared to other similar (sorry, much expensive) unit around…it sounds awesome…and adds more features (but might I’ve already said this)
I heared the magic in one of cuckoos videos, since then i want it, but its still hard to justify it, i think i will give in soon, when taxes are returned. I hope for a magic black friday sale, spring offer or something. From what i heared it can give low and high frequency boost, and still sound natural. Much better than Fabfilter saturn, which sounds a tiny bit metallic when its working at high frequencys. Well not 100% sure what is eaten by the AAC codecs or mp3 from the internet.
Had an hour on a friend’s AH awhile ago. Nice sound, impressed. And barely scraped surface with all the env/lfo/filter stuff. Wasn’t entirely convinced it would give me anything noticeable over good plugins but it was definitely a lot more hands on intuitive/fun. And definitely does some very nice stuff to source material. Hoping to borrow it for a weekend at some point and a/b against go-to plugins. Gas on hold til then…
I believe some good tweaks on a good plugin are invaluable…
I mean, IMO, iZotope Trash2 can deliver A LOT…even more of an AH.
But I still not complain having paid €750 for AH and €30 for Trash2
Yeah I know what you’re saying. Thing is I don’t have a lot of £ and need to prioritise purchases so AH kinda lurks in the ‘Mmmm, dunno if I really need this’ gas area until I can hear it against what I already have.
It doesn’t seem that expensive for all that you get… 8 analog distortion types (a good mono guitar distortion pedal is $200 or so by comparison); envelope follower, LFO, EQ, filter… seems like a pretty great deal. But I haven’t tried one.
I’d love to try one out, just want to strap it over a really sparse modular patch to get all brittle and crusty…
Sound great on those clicky spit patterns!
Clearly I have nothing better to do with my day than play with my AH and A4. I should get a different hobby that doesn’t involve pretending to make rave music. Here’s the Enhancement setting.
