    Awesome Emulation , Sounds fantastic ...Been A/Bing with the Uad shadow hills and i must say i think i prefer the Iron , seems to dial in a bit more bite , Digging it in M/S . Stereo width ,Tube and rectifier make this thing a real beast \M/

    This is quickly becoming my fave compressor. As usual I applaud PA for putting out a DSP version. I put it on a mix and got a pleasing light compression right away. I just sounds nice.
    I almost bought one of these a few years ago. I love the mono maker. Did a great job on a spanky rhythm guitar part. Good stuff.

    Output level.
    & yes, Input.....(actually that whole brainworx-y "top row" we're all used to now)
    Yep this plugin is super-cool. I watched a few video demos & liked the sound (& uniqueness) enough to just buy it. And I knew the outputs were stepped.
    But then I started playing with it (& wanted a level match)......no trademark "top row" with the Input/Output/Headroom)/Noise knobs???

  • Absolutely incredible!

    The SPL IRON has earned a permanent place on my mix and group busses. It's one of those plugins that just sounds incredible every time I use it. This paired with bx_console is absolutely outstanding!

  • Mind Is Blown!!!

    I dont usually write reviews but this 1 deserves one. Soon as I put it on I was blown away. Big,Warm,Smooth & Musical is what I hear. Please pick this up and be blown away also.

    This is just an amazing sounding compressor on busses of course but so great on individual instruments too. Incredible on vocals, it can have a sound or be beautifully transparent, no matter what it's always musical. I have almost all of PA's plugins at this point and this ranks with their absolute best work. Magic.

    This is the best mixbus processor to date. Simply demo it. It's transparent but does so much to the mix, like a magic trick but does not smear it with a particular style or retro angle. Amazing and CPU friendly too.

    Killer plugin. Just adding to your master bus starts to shape your mixes. Totally stands on its own. Love it!
