If you like Maximal 2 CM, take a look at the full Maximal 2, which expands on the CM version’s Tape mode with its Tube option, plus two unsaturated modes (Clean and Loud). It also adds x1, x4 and x8 oversampling options for less aliasing at extreme settings and more accurate detection of intersample peaks. At £29, Maximal 2 is nothing short of a bargain – check it out at Venomode’s website.
