    Slick

    A very slick VCA, a little thinner and cleaner than anything else.

    I bought it specifically for a project where I want my real bass to sound synth-like. Didn't want any more darkening or obvious saturation. Guess what? Did the job.

    And Antelope's versions of analog compressors are, in my view, the best I've heard, across the range. They actually sound analog, and fine grained. No aliasing that I can hear, unlike other, much more hyped, brands, and the sound is just beautiful. Every time I grab a compressor, I go for the Antelope version.
