Tired of poodling around with insipid effects? Looking for plug-ins with real clout? Nigel Lord speaks to The Sound Guy...

People get very puritanical about effects. The perceived wisdom is always that ‘less is more’ and that effects should be used sparingly. Unfortunately – or fortunately, perhaps – history is littered with examples of people who break the rules (or didn’t know the rules existed), and every now and then you’ll hear a stonking track that’s dripping in reverb or swamped with swirling chorus effects.

Score: 9
