Hi chinski
Aliasing-wise, the free version has no anti-aliasing at all, it's direct clipping at base rate with no oversampling. Ableton's Saturator in clip mode with HQ enabled does 2x oversampling, with HQ on, Saturator will alias less than the free PS Clip. The free version's value is the algorithm variety, not aliasing performance.
PS Clip Pro quality modes:
The Pro version uses a combination of first-order ADAA (Anti-Derivative Anti-Aliasing) and IIR oversampling:
Raw — no aliasing mitigation, same as the free version
Clean — first-order ADAA at base rate. No oversampling, but mathematically suppresses aliasing at the nonlinearity itself, which is often more efficient than oversampling alone for moderate drive
Smooth — ADAA + 2x IIR Butterworth decimation
Ultra — ADAA + 4x IIR Butterworth decimation
vs GMAudio Clipper:
I'd rather not make specific comparative claims about GMAudio's implementation since I can't verify their internals. What I can say is that ADAA + 4x IIR in Ultra mode is a solid approach — but ears and a spectrum analyser are the honest test. Both are worth trying on the same material.

@stevon simply conveneince, less space etc. Nice devices by the way.
Hi There - Re-uploaded device as original listing didn't contain download.
Pro version coming very soon.
