Safari Pedals does have some very high profile fans, like Tony Maserati, Greg Wells, Michael Brauer, and Joe Chiccarelli that praise the developer for their quirky, but useful plugins they’ve claimed to use on some very well known music. I don’t think this boutique developer is handing them out checks or that getting NFRs is going to get pros at that level to shill for a developer. That strategy works very well for rinky dink influencers and prolific forum posters (developers are increasingly showering NFRs on those folks, if you didn’t know, and yes, that absolutely includes the frequent forum poster that once posted here; I attempted to persuade him to do disclosures), but it doesn’t work with the big names. If they’re going to promote a developer for cash, they want more than this little boutique developer with several employees could afford.

My guess is, it’s good for what it is and the use cases are going to be pretty small. This effect is very niche.
