If you want lots of crunch, run the singnal through the "Barry's Satan Maximizer" plugin, followed by the fast-lookahead limiter before you send it to the preamp-emulator plugins. For added effect you can place a valve saturation plugin between the limiter and preamp as well. Be careful how hard you push the maximizer, it only takes a little to get a very dramatic effect. -Reuben > > Cheers, > > Bruce > >
