The Anvil is awesome, I used the Lead channel for this here

and for that project too too


both with only HP/LP and no additional EQ iirc

but I think my buddy who built this changed a bit on the channel to fit more to his likings

gotta have to check this plugin out soon!

 

[exoslime]

great stuff, i have a hardware anvil preamp that i bought from lasse and this thing incredible rocks!!
i´m gonna checkout the vst version for sure

 

[Lasse Lammert]

can't try this version unfortunately, but the original is a fecking beast!
I'm using it way to rarely, just because I don't have a dedicated poweramp anymore and plugin it into the return of an FX loop is too much hassle live.
it's got a fantastic chewy sound, very nice mids.

Here's a clip from the lead channel bright andshape off, everything around noon.
I used the poweramp section of the Uberschall with KT88

Anvil

(I know, most people will say I could have turned the presence up a notch, but I wanted to show the chewy mids primarily)

 

[drawnacrol]

Hark! Most pleasing tone'age, goodly Mago, and well played, to boot!
