“Decapitator is a life-saver when I get a weak bass or 808, and it’s so easy to dial in fast so you don’t have to waste time. Decapitator deserves an award; the tone is amazing and GUI is so easy and fast. From subtle saturation to extreme distortion it works on everything from vocals, bass, to drums. I can’t mix without it.”
– Stu White (Beyonce, Jay-Z, FKA Twigs)
“When mixing bass, Radiator and Decapitator are two of the first plugins I reach for. Radiator has a lovely growl to it and Decapitator is just an insanely versatile tone machine that can make any bass or 808 sound massive and cut through the mix.”
– Calin Enache (IDK, Pusha T, Denzel Curry)
