Well I've given this a little try out and so far I'm impressed.
Those that are not in the position to fork out for the recently released Pro-G gate will definitely find solace here, as for me, this whole box of tricks revolves round a highly configurable and very capable gate at it's core.
The high and low pass filters on the main signal path are paired with shelving filters which work really well, theres a side chain path eq which brings some extra focus to bear on the gate for triggering a nice touch here is a switch to listen in on the sidechain path and external inputs to route an alternative signal into the sidechain to trigger the gate.
The gate itself is as good if not better than anything I have at my disposal already being fully configurable for threshold, range and knee, with hold and release timings both controllable and an ability to trigger 'before' the event. It makes it a cinch to sharpen attacks and tidy up for some smooth decays and remove a myriad of unwanted noise.
Aside from a wee bit of glitching whilst making some adjustments while in use the feel of this thing is robust and clean as a whistle.
Add to this some really useful channel alignment tools and control over phase relationships and stereo placement and this unique suite of usefulness really does what it says on the tin.
But don't take my word for it.
