Lunar Lander is INCREDIBLE! Realistic BBD Delay behavior.

Marc Codsi
Extremely lush melodic plate reverb emulation. I use it when I want to add character to a sound.

I grabbed the P44 Magnum since I wanted the best distortion plugin I could find.
Not only is the distortion and clipping aspects of this plugin great, but its use for more subtle saturation is not to be underestimated.
I didn’t expect to be using this on my busses and master busses as much as I do, when looking to add or change the overall character of a mix in subtle to extreme ways, all while remaining completely musical and harmonic.
What I like:
* All-in-one convenience: Having EQ, clipping, and saturation in one plugin streamlines my workflow. It’s quicker to dial in a sound without having to load multiple plugins.
* Sound quality: The P44 Magnum sounds great. The EQ is smooth and musical, the clipping is groundbreaking, and the saturation adds a pleasing touch of analog warmth.
* Intuitive interface: The layout is clear and simple to navigate. Even with all the features, it doesn’t feel overwhelming.
* Versatility: I can use it on a variety of instruments and vocals, making it an invaluable tool for my entire mix.
How I use it:
* Vocals: I often use the P44 Magnum as the first plugin on my vocal tracks. The EQ helps me shape the vocal tone, the clipping tames the dynamics, and the saturation adds a bit of warmth and presence.
* Acoustic guitar: It works well for adding clarity and body to acoustic guitar recordings. A touch of clipping and some gentle EQ adjustments can make a big difference.
* Electric guitar: I’ve found it useful for shaping the tone of my electric guitar tracks, especially when I want a more polished and produced sound. The saturation can add some extra grit and character.
* Bass: The EQ and clipping sections are effective for tightening up bass lines and making them sit better in the mix.
* Mixing individual tracks and busses: I sometimes use it on individual tracks to quickly get a good starting point and sometimes even on sub-mixes (like drum busses) for overall tonal shaping.
P44 Magnum!!! This, among other things, is my CLIPPER OF CHOICE!!! I also play bass, and this is such an amazing tool for helping me shape my various parts and layered bass parts. It’s strong, warm, natural, and powerful!
Low end glue and saturation that just works. Quick to dial in and get on with work. Love the sound of P44 Magnum on kicks, basses, chords, percussion
I found this amazing piece of art on Who Is Alex Elliot’s YouTube channel and I am very impressed by the quality of this plug-in. You are able to make this sound as clean or as dirty as you want. This is a a must on bass, you can add just a bit of saturation and mix in the Oomph and Sweet knobs and can make any dull bass have some character and body in the mix. I’ve used this on drums, bass and even vocals.
