I’ll admit, I totally wrote off and disregarded the Heat when it was announced and came it. I saw a couple videos, read a couple reviews and it got a resounding “meh…who cares” in my mind and I moved on. Then, almost a year later, I happened across this video:
Yeah, I probably had a few (several) drinks in me, but my eyes and ears nearly popped out of my head. THIS WAS THE HEAT?!! OooOOhh K… now I was starting to get it. I absorbed myself into all things Heat watching every video I could find and learning it inside and out as best I could.
This video sealed the deal:
A few weeks later (a month or so ago) and I had my own. I use it all the time! Before this box, I never really understood distortion or saturation. That sound was always something to avoid and I just didn’t get it. Completely opposite now! I especially love (in gentle subtle form) it on the mix bus for mastering purposes. It adds this warmth and heft that’s so nice! I do also have some software now, primarily the Kush Omega’s that I like as well, but the Heat easily outclasses anything else I’ve tried. Just so many flavors in one box.
