Bringing mojo back – Thrillseeker XTC is a contemporary exciter build around a true parallel analog style equalizer design. ThrillseekerXTC is all about adding weight, vibe and attitude back to the sound. It delivers all the character of an analog signal path and provides what digital processing usually is hard pushed to, including a rich low-end experience and that vibrant 'expensive' top-end.

this thing is amazing. and its FREE.
now first of lets start out with saying its a Variety Of Sound plugin. As we all should know this is a well known name and well respected. yes its only 32bit and not mac compatible and that is why I could not give it its full 10 that it deserves. But the quality of this things is amazing.
lets start by giving a basic talk about what it is. its basically a parallel eq/harmonic enhancer/exciter
with 2 modes one black with -18 set at the level to mix at basically for people like me who use VU meters for gain staging. and the blue with 0 for louder signals.
it has a low shelf mid bell and a high shelf.
now how does this sound.
FANTASTIC
super nice give grit punch and life to tracks that need it and really can sound smooth and subtle when wanted to. drive I notice adds volume and overall gain to the input and output helps you dial back down.
Mojo is basically a way to emulate the destruction of the signal. the idea is that analog gear degrades a signal to give it its coloration basically.
how does this all add up well very well. I notice the quality of this thing is way above what some big expensive plugin brands would charge for over the top hyped plugin.
this actually is usable in subtle to over drastic ways. and I notice its hard to get a bad sound of it.
as far the rating
sound quality 10/10
ease of use 10/10
CPU 8/10 I only give it this because I notice for it having no oversampaling and no 64bit support its slightly high on weaker systems. now on mine it would take maybe a few hundred instanced to even notice but just saying for weaker systems.
price 10/10 its FREE I would pay a pretty penny for this!
Looks 10/10 very nice.
compatibility 8/10 its 32bit only but no problems bridging at all so thats a plus but no mac version so im missing out on my mac book :(
Read ReviewVery musical. Nostalgic, brings back the good from my hardware days without the bad. Impressed.

no, if you read the info above you would see this is a different animal,.. "ThrillseekerXTC".
"ThrillseekerLA" is a bus compressor, "ThrillseekerXTC is a contemporary exciter build around a true parallel analog style equalizer design"
Thanks... but go to the download page and tell me where "ThrillseekerXTC" is listed, because I'd love to try it!.

Has Bootsy (VoS) ever made a bad plugin ?
This guy consistently churns out top notch professional plugins and then gives them away for free !!
Like all VoS plugins it's 32Bit but works fine through Jbridge 1.5 (32Bit to 64Bit VST bridger) in Cubase 6.5 (64Bit) and Wavelab 7 (64Bit).
Whether pro or semi-pro, you should have all VoS plugins in your toolbox :)
