The Helper Saturator 2 Black Friday deal is 60% off this saturation VST from W. A. Production, bringing it to $10 until Nov 29, 2026.
Helper Saturator 2 is an audio effect plugin built to add saturation to the signal. The maker says it is more than a basic saturator, since it pairs two saturation modules with two filters and can work on five kinds of audio signal.
You get two saturation flavours: Tube distortion and Tape distortion. The maker says both add analog "warmth" without pushing the sound into over-distortion.
Two filters, a low pass and a high pass, sit on the saturated signal. Use them to strip frequencies you don't want after the saturation, or push them harder to shape something new.
Input and output gain controls let you gain stage on either side of the saturation, so you can set how hard the signal hits the stage and then match the level coming out.
You can choose which part of the source gets saturated:
The maker lists drums, bass and vocal tracks as typical uses. It also works over sub-mixes and complete mixes.
