Thanks for putting Fuse Audio Labs in the spotlights! I really like their plugins. Very nice GUI and dig the mojo they impart on what I feed into it. And thanks to this interview, I think it is safe to say these plugins are made with passion and craftmanship.

Fuse Plugs are awesome, my favourite is the VCL- 25A, so transparent 🎧

[@LonelyRocker]

Awesome stuff...

[@Mike_Benz_]

I only have 3 of his VCL line plugins and just WOW. The tone and saturation of these are amazing. The sound to me sounds very analog and impart so much vibe. Wish I had come across them sooner. Truly great quality.

[@LonelyRocker]

Totally agree...awesome plugs...I use them daily....

[@Mike_Benz_]

@@LonelyRocker Me too, the more I use them the more I fall in love with them.
