"So small and so smart ! The last link between guitar and Kemper or Fractal which are sounding with it even better. In my case Servo makes my Kemper sound much more lively and "tube like". Great for guitar or bass recording directly in to computer. Works very well with any kind of pickup. Such a VITAMIZER on the amplifier's input. It perfectly sets the guitar in front of the amp. After three gigs and several studio recordings one thing is certain -that's what I was missing. I won't give it back ;-) "... thanks Adam!

"The Taurus Servo is an extremely friendly and helpful effect, allowing the creative and perceptible thicken of pure guitar sound. It very nicely saturates and expands the original signal, while gently compressing the sound.
Even the extreme settings of the potentiometer the Servo gives a saturation which is very pleasant for ear and most importantly - it does not change a original sound's character. Servo is very helpful when clean and crunch sounds are used as well as light drive. Works very well with both the digital and the classic tube amps .
Recommend it. Jacek Królik "
