Hi guys! Has anyone tried these?

www.prismsound.com/music_recording/products_subs/overkiller.php

I imagine there cannot be more to them than back to back zener diodes and some resistors??

Any first hand experience will be appreciated.

Cheers!

In an unfamiliar loud control room, everything can sound great, but still have audible large distortions on later inspection.
