Oh my gosh! This is amazing. I have been recording in my home studio for over 8 years and I have always gotten a hollow, narrow, non-professional sound, no matter how hard I tried. I use good (mid-grade) pro-audio equipment, a quality mic, and decent sounding instruments, however I could never get that professional glaze. I am a female vocalist, and due to the natural timbre of my voice, combined with my soprano range, my vocals always seemed to sound hoow, with too much reverb and echo (and nor because I added that either). I bought the voxformer, harmoniEQ, varisaturator, and polysquasher, and downloaded some of the free applications as well. The difference is remarkable. I just bought these yesterday- I installed them and worked with them til about midnight last night, then set the CD to burn while I slept. This morning, I took a listen and WOW. It sounds like it was done in a professional studio. Most of that came from the voxformer and harmoniEQ. Now, I will clean up the little things and add the final gloss with the varisaturator and the polysquasher. All I can say is "thank you". After many dead end searches, I finally found the products that work.

During the last few years I replaced a lot of mixing outboard with Voxengo Plugins, simply because they sound better.
Voxengo Curve EQ has replaced nearly every digital or analog EQ I own (except the Focusrite stuff) and the various tubesim and saturation plugins have made my Telefunken tape machine obsolete.
Since I use Voxengo Pristine Space / Boogex all my guitar and bass amplifiers start to rot slowly in their corner, only being used for capturing impluses sometimes.
There certainly is still some use for my old stuff, but not too much since I have my Voxengo Plugins.

I have had the Lampthruster for years now, years! It keeps on doing great things for my music. I love what the EQ does with my instrumentals and it produces sweet sounding vocals also. I really appreciate the luxury of variety. Thank You Voxengo!

I cannot believe that Warmifier gives BBE Sonic Maximizer a run for the money. I was fixated on BBE, but after using Warmifier, there is so much more control that the BBE SM doesn't have: current, voltage tube emulation as well as tube makes/types, LE and HE filter adjustments as well as LE And HE EQ'ing. Just disgusting! (Don't fret: that's a good disgusting LOL)
Sometimes I have to admit it: I get confused to using Lampthruster and Warmifer, but Warmifer is the unexpected lovechild of Voxengo TubeAmp & Voxengo Sonic Finalizer in my eyes! I assume that Warmifer is better for the mastering phase when used with Marq. Compressor, Soniformer and Elephant.....as Lampthruster is good for colorizing tracks in congregation with Voxengo Crunchessor, Voxengo GlissEQ, and Elephant, correct?
Well, enough of my raving. I'm going back to using this bad boy. Using Warmifier with AFChorus and Crysonic's Spectra'PE 32-bit limiter is a deadly combo, yo.
Peace,

I really hadn't known what I was missing out on before I picked up a Voxengo product. Wow! Lampthruster's eq is absolutely beautiful. I mean, I have some decent hardware eq's and some commercially bought software eq's (even tried the Waves products) but Lampthruster actually seemed to give me a tone that didn't quash the real character of what I was equalizing. It was kind of eye-opening to me. I look forward to picking up more of these gems...

Really great tools. I usually use them to make sample sounds more natural. Easy to handle.

At first I was put off by the plain looks of these Plugins. I'd pay twice or three times as much money for something that 'looked the part' but ultimately didn't sound even half as good as Voxengo. I'm learning how other Companies 'talk about' 'warm' and 'old' and 'analogue'. Voxengo just gets on with the job and delivers 10 out of 10, everytime. The funny thing is, is that I'm beginning to like those quirky looks after all :) Daniel, Dublin/Ireland!

I really like the results i got using Lampthruster on my song titled Lady Of The House. I hope to get even better results with it while learning more about it while recording. Keep up the great work.

I just want to say how incredible your plugins are. I use HarmoniEQ, Soniformer, Tapebuss, and the Impulse Response plugins in every mix I do. Thank you for creating such great sounding plugins, and keep up the good work!

I record and master a lot of different types of projects. I have the algorithmix plug-ins, two UAD 1 cards, just about every plugin you can think of. I just started using the voxengo plugs and "wow", I can't believe how great they sound!!! They do things to your signal that you strive for with expensive high end gear.
Keep on creating.
