    no this is in my vst folder on my mac. about 90% of my plugs have this icon, some plugs such as ones by klanghelm use custom icons.

    Best Answer
    The power plug since it is a plug-in
    Perhaps the whisk is a reference to mixing....

    lol that is really bizarre

    I've seen it often in the past. It's a MAC icon VST for Power Macs!
