Below is a selection of review comments of the individual plugs from Studio Magazine, Future Music and Computer Music.

“[FabFilter Timeless] is without a doubt the king of delays and will help you take your music in very unexpected ways.” — Studio Magazine on FabFilter Timeless (January 2007, p69)

“... to call it [FabFilter Timeless] a delay is like describing Buckingham Palace as a house.” — Future Music on FabFilter Timeless (FM185, p89)

“Twin is an essential buy for any serious synth-head.” — Future Music on FabFilter Twin (FM172, p47)

“[...] For total smoothness, analogue warmth, and screaming self-oscillation, you'll struggle to find better than Volcano.” — Computer Music on FabFilter Volcano (September 2005, p99)

“One centres on a deeply impressive modelled oscillator and filter combo that stands amongst the most authentic 'analogue' ever made, due to its flawless anti-aliasing, rich sound and convincing self-oscillation.” — Future Music on FabFilter One (FM167, p50)
