I've got the chance to use the real deal in the past but today I'm using the plug in on a bunch of various tracks we are mixing down. I love that piece of gear. It can really make your guitar or other instrument pop. Nice tone shaping, giving the lead guitar a nice bite that makes harmonics jump from the mix. Getting that Marley era Tosh tone on the rhythm guitar. Pretty versatile piece of gear. I know a lot of guys play heavier stuff but it might be something worth looking into. I've had good luck with it every time!!!
 
I've heard nothing but good things about it bro'.

Have you got the Plugin Alliance ones?

I have Shadow Hills pres that I bought in 2008 and I probably use them more than any other piece of gear.

The Mastering Compressor and the Class A version, I use it in every project, every day of work. It's on my 2-bus template, so literally everything I do goes through it. I also like it for drum overheads, drum loops, and background vocals. Great stuff.

Class A. For a digital crap it is actually a pretty nice program. The kid has it on his setup so that's what I've been using on a bunch of tracks. I got to try the rack piece in a studio in '14 owned by George Harris who is pretty well thought of in the Tampa area and tbh had both an amazing outboard gear collection and some pretty amazing engineering skills especially if you like a rocking mix. He really has some amazing ears. That Shadow Hills and a couple sweet pre's were basically in arm's reach when you were seated in that studio, lol.
