Nick Blanc Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Indeed it is. I think it has been a bit cheaper, but I could be mistaken. Anyway, I don't say this often about a $100+ plugin (and particularly a compressor of which we have thousands), but this one is well worth that kind of money. I have very few go-to plugins, but this one always finds its way onto my drumbus or master or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Math Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I know nothing about this particular plugin but Coffee The PUn by Acustica Audio is said to be a portion of the Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control. And it's a freebie and it's an EQ but maybe perhaps it has similar color or mojo. I tried it recently and it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-cue Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This is one of my favorite plug ins. I don't know if Softtube did something different when they made this one, but it stands out to me, even compared to the other Chandler stuff. The sidechain is a way more dramatic control than you'd expect. Insanely good on live drums. Too much feedback can make things sound cluttered here. Zener hard is great for solid bass compression. I highly recommend demoing this before the sale runs out unless you are banking on a Black Friday sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
