    Apogee is always on top!

    The Opto-3A sounds like real hardware! However, all Apogee plugins sound great! It's easy to use and effective! I'll be using it!

    Good Plugin for a Great Price

    This is a great sounding version of an LA-3A. The sale price made it even better. I would say it holds audio in place a lot better that other commercial plugins
