Got HEAT. Do I need Soundtoys? [Answer: Yes!]

what are you experiences since then? Did soundtoys replaced the AH or vice versa?

I´m a heavy soundtoys user with Echoboy, Phasemistress and Pan-Man. Lately I also discovered the joy of putting Deceptiator on the master bus and using the 2nd mode with 20-30% wet. Bam. It smoothes out some peaks and add some beef. Sometimes I just have to tame the top end a bit with the high-cut filter.

So questions is … does the AH sound that different?
