Not in a rush to sell. The Leviathan is great! The Vintage and Punch buttons make it very versatile and quick to dial in sounds. With a few decibels reduction it smooths things out so your track sits in the mix without sounding too compressed. I think it imparts a nice glow to the sound as well. The vintage mode on the Leviathan is a favorite for me, but also having the attack, release, and ratio controls is great.
Definitely one of the better optos in the 500 series space, even more so if you're looking at single-slot modules! I'll include some details and specs below:
