I have the Creamer+ and where it shines for me the most is with bass tracking and on the mix bus. However, more and more, my mixing is all ITB, so I'm progressively using it less in that way, although it's awesome there nonetheless. Still my favorite for bass guitar but I usually run my basses direct into an Avenson Small FET DI first, as that gives me more options. The Avenson is extremely clean. If I had another Creamer+, it would be used full time, probably on kick and snare.
