[@PROJECT-de9pd]

IKR oh my sides

[@user-vn7gl3hd3l]

a stop at the pub before? i knew we were in for trouble when I saw the name of what you're reviewing today...ha! Great!

[@StudioLife101]

We actually didn't....for a change..💁‍♂️😂

[@assistantassistant5516]

The most sophisticated plugin-review on KZbin - Proud of you! Gar nicht schlecht gell!

[@DrMax0]

Hell yeah! You proncounced "wunderlich" properly. Your German score is now 5%. Proud of you!

[@StudioLife101]

Touring Germany for 20 years has it's benefits...👍

[@DJAdalaide]

I just pushed one out of my dirtbox

[@lv7blanche]

Keep up these reviews, joy to watch. What are your special saturators you use?

[@StudioLife101]

@@lv7blanche Love me a bit of PSP Audioware.👍

[@tonymitchell2026]

Another great review as always. Thank you, guys! I couldn't stop laughing either😂😂

[@brokbeatz]

When the show started, the watcher beat started playing in my head 🙂🙌 Dirtbox 🤣

[@lukasjusys]

😂😂😂 really enjoyed the show. Thanks.

[@wouterdesmedt1736]

"She won't like that." 🤣 I hope you've watched Run silent run deep!

[@Mansardian]

that indeed saved me the money. You can get it for 29.99 at the moment. One sale of many to come. But what you said - it's basically just another saturator - did save me the money.

[@Rhuggins]

It really sounds GREAT. The saturation is thick and gooey. Very tubey and transformer laden. Totally disable the time control though its too dramatic. The EQ sounds beautiful though, But the compressor could use some secondary attack release controls under the hood perhaps

[@lloydbrownmusic]

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea w/David Hedison and Richard Baseheart before my dinner on a school day, back in da day was my weekly submarine fix. As for Wonderlick, i'll party when it's $29.99

[@coolvibesradio3267]

please review klanghelm dc8c and sdrr

[@hybrydsanity5857]

I kind of like it but your rite you can do this with stuff you already have , when it dips down to $29 i'll probably get a nice new dirt box of my own !

[@HOBBITSODYSSEY]

Its obvious that they were trying to do a Fairchild type plugin, does sound really good.

[@StudioLife101]

Fairchild doesn't really work the same way....this is probably more adaptable and useful, but not the same on a mix bus.👍

[@HOBBITSODYSSEY]

@@StudioLife101 yeah

[@Corey_Monsewicz]

"Didn't hear anything unique about it" - well, they literally built a real piece of hardware and modeled it from that so ya there's that. Wunderlich is german for "time travel" or something like that. I think this pluggin is interesting, it's essentially a channel strip with less refined features than your average strip - great if you dont need a lot of tweeking but still want to add some color. I wish we could have gotten some TMT in there.

[@StudioLife101]

Being modelled on a real bit of hardware doesn’t alter the fact that it’s very easy to get the same sound with almost any combination of saturation, compression and eq plugins. But I agree it sounds good, just not unique. Adding TMT to saturation will just add to smearing…so not really missed imo. 👍

[@EclecticaStudios]

Plugin makers of the world, Stop re-packaging the same thing over and over... if you haven't got something new to add to the party, stop wasting our time.

[@lukasjusys]

Sorry for laughing again 😂😂😂

[@Mansardian]

btw, still curious what you have to say about the Material COmp from VoostEQ

[@StudioLife101]

On it soon 👍

[@barrythave]

It does look heavy... Would be great if it came in "Yellow..."

[@nikolaswallner722]

If I understand you correctly if one wunderlichs the dirtbox the big dc knob gets hard but gladly it isn't shit

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

Hey you guys seen the new plugin from Tone Empire called Res-q?

[@StudioLife101]

Sounds interesting....we'll have a look 👍

[@BMugzMusic]

Red October is da shit. Like Crimson Tide a ton. Hackman vs Denzel

[@StudioLife101]

Crimson Tide....awesome movie.👍

[@aviatedviewssound4798]

Can you guys please finally make some Fuse audio plugin reviews? They're the same people that make Neold plugins.

[@StudioLife101]

Added to the list 👍

Hahaha😂 that's the best review ever 😂😂

[@BMugzMusic]

Killa Score also w Zimmer

[@coolvibesradio3267]

how does this compare to a fairchild?

[@StudioLife101]

It doesn't really....might look similar but no tonal similarity. UAD do a great Fairchild emulation. 👍

[@Purgatorium8]

D.I.R.T video 😂

[@DJMIDIMACK]

😂👍

[@RayTheProducer]

Very expensive for some ‘dirt’. Hilarious.

[@Reggi_Sample]

This gave some strange results in plug-in doc, the roll off is abit much, the boost is a huge low end tilt and I’m not sure the AC / DC is actually helpful as two separate knobs. But I want to like it due to its amazing marketing and gui😂😢 I wanted a Fairchild not this? Leaving this decision up to Sean

[@Rhuggins]

It sounds great. Its not a fairchild but sounds incredible to be honest. The “time” or whatever its called- parameter, is too heavy handed. As far as DC and AC being separate knobs - its threshold and ratio; why would anyone want them to be one knob

[@StudioLife101]

I'd get PSP Audioware Saturator.... And add any decent compressor...Way nicer and more useful imo.👍

[@saardean4481]

I lmao tbh so it was hard to take the plugin seriously…… That said,, you saved me from an impulse buy cause i was thinking about it but after the video i thought i dont need it anymore. Such a dirtbox

[@StudioLife101]

We all buy a lot of plugins that basically do the same thing... Go spend that $90 on something you need. 👍

[@saardean4481]

@@StudioLife101 how right you are. I sometimes literally would not bet money on my hearing as many things sound like its the same happening just with different settings. That said, consider reviewing some Sonimus plugins. They are relatively well priced and very interesting

[@bamdadespahbod5630]

I’m demoing it and its really nothing special, p42 climax or saturn do a better job at filthification, the compressor seems like an opto tube kind which we all have atleast a dozen of them lol

[@StudioLife101]

We just did a Sonimus review...coming soon...👍

[@MrBrownAlliance]

dirtbox, shitbox more like...

[@darkozoric4184]

Tried it, didnt like it. Its shit
