Yes, I would agree.
I haven’t tried the Tegeler but I’ve watched some demo vids and really like what I’ve heard.
I forgot to mention that when I added a Verde Audio Vari-Mu compressor to the Fusion’s insert it really changed everything. All the textural sweetness intensified so much that it would be underwhelming to use it without it now that i’ve accustomed to having it. Did you use an analog compressor in the insert?
Experimenting with the input gain levels has been v eyeopening to me and really showcased the wide palette of this device.
