This is an amazing plugin. I've been a long time user of the hardware Silver Bullet MK1. When making test files for myself, I shared with friends and posted on forums and no one could reliably tell them apart in blind tests. That investigation aside in regular use it's such a great problem solver and great for putting the finishing touches on busses. Easily top 5 in the PA catalog, a must have!

I've been recording/mixing/mastering music since the year 2008. For years, I read on a popular audio engineering message board about the Silver Bullet hardware. 222 pages and counting, as of this post's publication date. Users gave it high praise for its ability to snuff the "digititis" out of their recordings. I couldn't wait to try it out for myself and finally had that chance about four years ago. The hype was real...the Silver Bullet transformed my recordings in such a way that screamed "professional". Alas, the real deal was out of my low budget reach. So, I waited and waited for an unofficial plugin to be released, but was elated to read when an official one (which I never expected) was announced on August 25, 2023! A 1:1 Silver Bullet emulation would have been perfectly adequate, but they went ahead and emulated the second version/revision (pronounced mark two) AND added a lot of cool features that the hardware does not have. Trial downloaded, installed and within 30 minutes I knew I needed this plugin! Mojo is a great way to describe what the SIlver Bullet can add to a sound...thus, the official names of the amps. Marketing terminology aside, this is what the Silver Bullet does for me: - Beefs up a track/group of tracks/mix buss with and makes it sound more three dimensional. - Compresses sounds, so that less compression has to be used further on down the signal chain. - Equalizes tracks, so that your mix starts coming together quick. It's a nice bonus feature that wasn't just an after thought. In a recording studio, the SB is your first line of defense against bad quality audio. - is Low Fidelity AKA Lo-Fi more your goal? The Silver Bullet Mk2 plugin can do that too! Between the colour modules and the circuit bender plus "Dyna Realism", music producers have a lot of options to choose from. - Stuck in a rut or in the mood for some "lazy engineering"? Flip through the factory presets! All this allows tracks to sit better in a mix. This beautiful white paneled machine with its black knobs and red light accents makes me a better sound engineer. My eye is still on the real hardware unit, because of the microphone preamps and time savings that it will bring. This plugin will tide me over, for now. It's easy to see and hear that the developers poured their blood, sweat, tears and soul out when creating this.
Danke ♥️

I'm very impressed! This plugin immediately puts a big grin on my face as soon as it is used on the drum and mix bus. The interaction of the Mojo Section with the buttery Baxandall EQ is dream. Really good job.

Le vst est relativement simple a mettre en oeuvre et donne un grain sonore de fou sur les bus de drums après sa peu fonctionner partout ou vous aurez besoin de rajouter un grain analogique grace au différents modules inclus !!
One of the best saturation plugins out there!

Absolutely fantastic plugin. I use it as the last plugin in my vocal chain and it provides perfect saturation. It sounds very smooth and always very natural. I primarily use the equalizer and the Hitmaker 4000 colour mudule effect (the vinyl saturation is also great), as well as the aspect ratio button which improves the stereo width. Vocals gain depth, cut through the mix better, and sound more spacious. The latency of the plugin is relatively low, which also makes it perfect for a live setup. When using the MOJO amps in conjunction with the colour module, the CPU usage is a bit higher (about 8-10 percent on my i9), but that's absolutely OK considering the great sound quality. If you disable individual modules, the CPU usage drops significantly. I love this plugin and it has become a permanent part of my vocal chain.
