Excellent set of colours and saturation
★★★★★Rather than just copy the same old gear as a one trick pony; This plugin brings some of those colours into one place with many more options to tweak and enhance. This is like a Swiss army knife of colours convert your digital sound into a great analogue sound. The options and variants in colour in one place makes this my go to option rather than just pulling up a one trick pony saturator. Its a whole new way to get fast results with varying quality models for sound sculpting and plumping.Plugin Alliance responseThanks! -
I'm kinda mad at you guys for not creating this much sooner!
★★★★★I specialize in composing and producing original boom bap music using hyper-sampled virtual instruments, and the key to this particular art form is to get your tones to sound like the records you would sample from your vinyl collection.
Phil's Cascade is a perfect coloration tool in reaching such sonic goals. My sound design and mixing workflow has changed for the better thanks to this new plugin. I Love it! Thanks guys!Plugin Alliance responseThanks, amazing way to use plugins! -

elysia Phil's Cascade
★★★★★elysia Phil's Cascade is based on a very esoteric hardware! It can be heared that the components come from the last century, it does spice up your DAW, from vintage distortion to subtle exciter.
The tonal variation is limited, but to me it doesn't matter, because I use all PA distortion and exciter plugins, and while Phil's Cascade is less flexible, it has a 'quality' that is unique for plugins. I percieve that it has exactly the warmth and shine that so many ITB producers have been looking for, although leaning to a vintage tone.Plugin Alliance responseThanks! -
From subtle to brutal
★★★★★After I learned with the Vertigo VSM-3 that distortion on the master track can improve the mix - I now can give the needed "touch" on specific instruments. I can say that the Cascade is great on vocals and sampled instruments. (I am sure it will be great on synth sounds - but I don't use synths very often...) I have experienced that there is no need to start with the boost function - and it is very likely that the dampening option (e.g. on E-Piano) might do the job... Boosting is another option to make it sound harsh and brutal, if you want. To my experience it can do a lot in unexpected ways. It is a great option to sculpt sounds of an instrument - far more versatile than I expected. -

Analog Goodness
★★★★☆This plugin is very unique in the character it brings as well as the flexibility in being able to dial in just the right amount of each component to achieve the sound you want.
I love the warmth and the saturation it provides when pushed. The mix function allows for parallel processing which is great for the master buss or stems. Sounds lovely on drums and bass particularly.
There's not much to really complain about. Some built in sidechain filtering would be on my wish list. Overall this thing is a beast. -

★★★★★It's every thing they say it is. !!

Phil's Cascade Plugin
★★★★★The Elysia Phil's Cascade is a beast of a plugin! I used this on a bass track on a new reggae song I am mixing, it just defined the sound of that bass and made it stand out in the mix, just where I wanted it. I also used it on acoustic and electric guitar, this baby gave it the fire it needed. This would be a permanent staple in all my mixes as the Blackbox is. Great work as always Plugin Alliance!! -
great~!
★★★★★I love this!
