About
Three flavours of the classic pitch-and-delay widening trick, modelled on the Eventide H3000 and the AMS DMX 15-80s. Sound On Sound called it beautifully thought-out, deceptively simple and extremely effective.
Signature Sound
Widening that reads as a second take rather than an effect. Reached for hooks and stacked adlibs that need width without losing the centre.
