Anybody use character? is it kinds like BBE/APHEX?

I demoed Character a while ago, and thought it was a decent exciter.  Not in the same league as FabFilter Saturn, by any means, but usable. 
 
I managed to get similar results from Ozone's exciter module, so I didn't buy it.  Character is certainly easier to use, though.
 
But if you want a taste of the "real thing," I'd advise looking at CDSoundmaster's Vintage Tube collection.  There's a free demo of one of the tube models ... when I tried that, I thought, "now THAT sounds like real excitement!"  Tube saturation, that is ... closest thing to the actual sound of vintage hardware that I've heard ITB.  Made me intrigued about the whole Nebula thing (CDSM's plugins are based on Nebula tech).

SPL PASSEQ TODAY!

Thanks you, Laney! I just bought it. I haven't demoed it but have heard the $4000+ hardware unit and it sounded fantastic. My best description is that is sounds like an enhanced Pulltec. The only thing I'm a little wary about is that I've read that it uses quite a bit of cpu, apparently because each band uses a separate 'circuit' to emulate how the hardware is built.

Day 10: Brainworx bx_xl v2 limiter for $130.
