VCS-1 All-In One Channel Strip
One For All Complete, Not Complex
If there is a single plugin to take to the desert island, it's the VCS-1. This zero latency channel strip integrates all the tools needed for instant signal enhancement and dynamics control… and then some! Complexity remains under the hood, as the user interface is based on a comprehensive, practical layout which supports a nimble workflow and is easy on the eyes.
Powerful Processing Tools
The VCS-1 shapes your tones with a triple-topology preamp offering different styles of coloration, wide-ranged high/low pass filters and a full-fledged parametric 5-band EQ. Dynamics are controlled by a luxurious compressor/limiter section and a highly practical gate/expander stage, clearly visualized by a comprehensive gain reduction and level metering panel.
Integrated Routing Matrix The individual processing sections are enhanced by highly flexible routing options. The filters and the equalizer can operate in stereo or mid/side mode, while the side-chain of the compressor can make use of the filters, the EQ, and external control signals. An additional mix stage allows on-board parallel compression, and every single section of the VCS-1 can be individually bypassed.
Global Link Groups The enormous processing power of the VCS-1 is rounded off by its capability of assigning individual plugin instances to virtual groups which share the same parameters all across your DAW, saving tons of time and effort. So, if you're looking for a single plugin to shape and process all of your signals, groups and buses in the most convenient way: Here you go.

VCE-118 – Dynamic Range Enhancer
Natural Born Puncher
Squeeze and Unfold
The VCE-118 is a unique dynamics tool based on the breakthroughs that occurred of VCA technology in the early Seventies. Its reputation as a secret weapon lies in its special ratio implementation, which enables both compression and expansion, combined with its special linear mode as a powerful fuel for bending dynamics as a creative effect.
Regular vs. Linear
The central knob offers compression ratios between 1:1 and ∞:1 or expansion between 1:1 and 1:2, while the intensity of the effect can be tweaked with the Threshold control. The Mode button switches from regular gain reduction or expansion, where only levels above the threshold are processed, to linear operation, which affects the full level range above and below the threshold.
Diverse Duties
Naturally, the VCE-118 provides the ultimate punchy compression known from early VCA compressor flagships like the famous 160. But it doesn't stop there, since its expanded dynamic range surprises with intriguing effects reminiscent of gates and transient shapers. Linear mode can take this even further with sonic escapades like heavily pumping beats or dead silent ambience.
Dynamics Monster
The VCE-118 is nothing short of a giant in disguise. It can slam your drums to oblivion, and in the next second, it becomes a great punch enhancer if used sparingly in parallel. Linear mode is such an advantage when you're looking for unusual, extreme dynamics effects, applicable in various doses composed with the ever-crucial mix knob. Compress… expand… enhance.
Features
- Unique dynamics processor combining compression and expansion
- Special ratio implementation from 1:1 to ∞:1 for compression, and 1:1 to 1:2 for expansion
- Mode button switches between regular and linear operation for flexible control
- Linear mode affects the entire level range, creating more extreme dynamics effects
- Threshold control adjusts the intensity of compression or expansion
- Capable of punchy compression, transient shaping, and gate-like effects
- Ideal for both subtle punch enhancement and extreme sonic manipulation
- Mix knob allows blending for parallel compression or expansion techniques
- Inspired by iconic early VCA compressor designs for authentic punchy sound

OCELOT Limiter - True Peak Limiter
True Peak Limiter: Smarter, Louder
Adaptive Limiting
Imagine a limiter that doesnít just make your audio louder- it also makes smarter decisions about when to limit and when to hold back. The OCELOT Limiter uses advanced psychoacoustic analysis to ensure your mix stays clean and punchy, while maximizing loudness. With its intelligent approach, it helps you push levels higher without the usual artifacts of traditional limiters.
Soft Clipper
A switchable soft clipper catches isolated peaks at the start of the processing chain, reducing the limiterís workload. This approach results in louder output with less pumping and exceptional transparency. When pushed further, it adds a touch of aggressiveness, delivering a punchy and polished sound without introducing obvious distortion.
True Peak
The OCELOT Limiterís true peak feature ensures precise level control by adhering to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard. This mode anticipates inter-sample peaks that could cause distortion when your signal gets converted to the analog domain, keeping audio clean and accurately below the threshold level. True peak is invaluable for mastering and all tasks where pristine sound quality is critical.
Five Flavors
With five selectable algorithms, the plugin precisely adapts to any source material, offering tailored responses from the limiter and soft clipper. The 1:1 and delta listen features allow you to fine-tune for optimal signal integrity. Noise shaping, dithering, and quantization further enhance its versatility, making the OCELOT Limiter the ultimate tool for adding power to your tracks and masters.
Ocelot Series
In an ever-growing sea of plugins, a select few stand out as essential tools you rely on in every session. These gems enhance your workflow with their powerful features and intuitive user interfaces, building the core of your personal sound. They become indispensable, evolving alongside you. The Ocelot Series puts these tools right in your hands, delivering cutting-edge low CPU, zero or low latency studio essentials built with top-notch DSP tech.
Features
- Adaptive Limiting: Utilizes advanced psychoacoustic analysis for smart limiting decisions, ensuring a clean and punchy mix while maximizing loudness without typical artifacts.
- Soft Clipper: Switchable feature at the processing chain's start to handle isolated peaks, reducing the workload on the limiter and maintaining transparency with reduced pumping.
- True Peak Handling: Adheres to ITU-R BS.1770 standard for precise level control, preventing distortion from inter-sample peaks when converting to analog. Ideal for mastering and tasks prioritizing sound quality.
- Five Selectable Algorithms: Offers tailored responses for different source materials, enhancing versatility with noise shaping, dithering, and quantization features.

VREV-63 Surf Spring Reverb
Hang Loose
Surf Sound, Inc.
The VREV-63 is the ripping reincarnation of the legendary tube driven spring reverb from the sixties: the godfather of surf guitar sound! Hooked up in front of an amp, the drippy and splashy sound of this mysterious box has inspired countless reggae, dub, garage, rockabilly, jazz and spaghetti western artists. Play off the hook on incredibly long and inspiring reverb tails!
Real Thing
Reverb intensity and time are set with the Dwell knob which controls how hard the springs are hit by the input signal. The Tone control allows the treble to be dialed back to just the right degree of brightness. A fundamental yet switchable part of the lush sound is the famous tone suck effect impacting high frequencies, emerging from the authentic emulation of the tone and mixer circuits.
Mod Kicks Just like the original, the flexibility of the VREV-63 is greatly enhanced by some popular modifications. This includes the C10 capacitor mod for a deeper and richer reverb sound, easy tube rolling between a NOS 6K6 and the hotter 6V6, and a selection of three different spring tanks. And hey, enjoy kicking the reverb all night long without wiping out your precious hardware!
