The best for width and separation. I use it on synths, leads and anything to spread away from the Center, and make space for the middle elements like kick, vocals, etc. Mono compatible also!

I mainly use this tool on my melodic instrument bus to create space in the center and open up the stereo field of the mix. This also allows room for the singer’s voice in the mix. You can also use it in M/S mode, which allows you to control the low mids that are too pronounced on the sides as well. Very good tool, I recommend it. THANKS
Amazing

I am really loving all of these amazing plugins! I can't wait to see what you are going to make next. Something dedicated to making vocals sound professional would be awesome, or even a resonance remover!
A worthy tool in the audio engineering tool box.

I read many of the reviews here about how this thing can give your metal guitar tone the thickness of the really big bands. I thought I would give it a shot (really liking the quality of all the Brainworx stuff so far), turns out it really does give you an edge when it comes to that widening effect! I have tried other wideners through the years, like those built into Ozone Izotope or FL Studio, but those did not seem this effective or this simple to use. If you are looking to up your metal guitar tone and have never used something this, I think you should give it a try! Like others have stated, you want to actually have real double tracked guitars both ran to a stereo bus, and place this effect on that bus, and then you can output that to other busses or the master.
I love this Plugin!

I have a great collection of PA plugins and I had never paid enough attention to this plugin so I decided to try it and it gave me very good result I love how it opens the stereo image without sounding weak and lack of power, now this thing lives in my Guitar Busses it was very useful for me!

I've used other stereo widening plugins, and they work well on most instruments. I couldn't get that wide and powerful sound with electric guitars. I'm a fan of bands like Rammstein and Korn. I like how they have huge sounding guitars during the chorus sections. This plugin was able to work some magic and give that huge, wide sound that I had been searching for. It is fairly simple to learn and by turning a few knobs you can have a big impact on the sound of your mixes. I'd recommend shredspread for anyone looking to have really wide guitar sounds without phase issues.
Bigger and fatter!

I know this is sold as something for guitar sounds, but I use this plugin everywhere! You can make drums sound larger than life with this beast! I've even used it with vocal backing chorus to spread them out, and with great results. Honestly, I've used this plugin so much in so many things, that I'm afraid someday I won't be able to mix without it! Word of caution: while it makes everything sound big and spacious, do keep checking the Mono button and see if you can live with your mix that way. Otherwise, you might be running into problems and find out about it too late in the project, or when you finally listen to your whole mix in mono. The Shred command, from what Iisten, is basically a low-mid EQ boost that helps compensate for any frequency cancellations due to an enlarged stereo field. But it does work wonderfully. And like I said, not only for guitars. Do try it!

Probably the best stereo tool for elec guitars and acoustic. Usable with synths, great with piano and organs too (hammond, mello)
