I have a few free stereo vst but this one on sale for $15 looks pretty interesting.

Do you think it is worth getting? Are there any good stereo plugins that you have paid for?

try
https://polyversemusic.com/products/wider/ ,
https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/ ... -PanCake-2
and a plain old chorus first if you want width, and before you drop money on something that offers nothing but a mid/side matrix and processing in 3 bands in addition to the usual suspects (because you can do all that in Reason or with other plugins)

I've tried a few, and haven't been very happy with most. so far, Klevgrand's Haaze 2 is the best one I've found--the only one I've had any success with in placing a sound 'outside' the headphone/speaker position. it's really tweakable, but still straightforward. the only downside is that I don't think it allows you to save and recall your own presets. it does have lots of good presets though.

Just grab the free iZotope Imager - it is really good.
For old school widening SoundToys MicroShift is great.
For analog synths sounds a Juno style good chorus works best.
The stock Stereo Widener is useful if you want to completely destroy the sound at the same time, but does nothing on mono sounds (not joking, it can be useful sometimes)

Leapwing and Nugen have probably the best plugins for widening, but they are almost $200. And since I have Leapwing, I can tell you iZotope does a fantastic job for free, and Lepwing is for those who get paid >$1500 per mix job, or those who have to much money to burn but just want the best.

First time I hear about this plugin. I'll definitely install it.
