SOS REVIEW

@MusikHack 's Sweet EQ keeps things simple — but sounds anything but simple!

This “saturating EQ” is designed for fast, musical tone shaping with richer lows, more punch, added presence, and smooth top-end sparkle — all without the usual plugin complexity. A powerful sweetener for vocals, drums, synths, and full mixes alike.

The @GS Music Bree6 Keyboard is a love letter to classic analog #synths 

With rich sound, hands-on controls, and a beautifully focused design, it delivers vintage character without the menu diving. If you value immediacy and musicality over endless features then this inspiring #instrument may just be for you!

The Helix Stadium XL fr4om @Line6 raises the bar for all-in-one #guitar platforms 

With powerful Agoura amp modelling, Proxy #amp capture, touchscreen workflow, re-amping, and deep customization, it’s built for serious players. The XL’s premium price reflects its ambition — though many #guitarists will be hoping for a more affordable Agoura-focused version soon.

Simon P. from Norwich was the winner of the 40th Anniversary competition and won a full studio bundle consisting of many prizes.

"It was a bit of a shock to hear I'd won this competition - I've literally never won this kind of thing before. This incredible spread of hardware and software will be a game changer for the projects I'll be working on. I had a decent but limited home studio set up, so this win has opened up new possibilities and textures to play with that I wouldn't have been able to get anytime soon. A huge thank you to all of the companies for their generosity and for Sound On Sound for making it happen"

Congrats again Simon and thanks to @ADAM_Audio @AIAIAItweet @ALLEN & HEATH @Bitwig @Blackbt @CAD Audio @Cranborne_Audio @DPAmicrophones @EastWestSounds @WeAreFocusrite Fostex @Harrison Audio @ikmultimedia @KRK_Music_ @Native Instruments @WeAreNovation @RolandGlobal
