Your loc ness Black Friday deal is Loc-Ness V3 from Tone Empire at $29, 70% off, until Nov 25, 2026, a multi-effect plugin that puts saturation, compression and filtering in one processor.
The maker calls it the ultimate smash box. Loc-Ness V3 offers four saturation stages modeled on analog hardware, a blendable compressor and limiter path, plus precise filters before and after the processing.
The design draws on a legendary vintage broadcast limiter, but with more control and a more musical response. Tone Empire says it covers everything from light harmonic warmth to full destruction on drum rooms, guitars, breakbeats and synths.
These are the two main controls. Crust sends your audio through any of four saturation circuits, so you can dial in everything from soft, subtle warmth to a gritty, overdriven edge, while Smash takes care of limiting and compression. It takes the saturated signal and sustains and fattens it, with heavy limiting and sustain control.
The signal runs serially from Crust into Smash, so the two tones stack. Autogain compensates the level automatically as you drive harder.
The four drive types run from clean tube warmth to aggressive transistor crunch, each with its own harmonic character. Around them you get these controls:
The Pre Filters isolate the frequency band you want to saturate and compress, leaving the rest of the signal untouched. The Post Filters shape the final output, which the maker says is especially useful when blending wet and dry.
Loc-Ness V3 comes with a set of working tools:
On a drum bus or a breakbeat loop, the pre filters let you push a narrow band hard while the rest of the signal stays clean.
Yes. The Loc-Ness V3 Black Friday deal from Tone Empire takes 70% off, bringing the plugin to $29. The offer ends Nov 25, 2026.
It packs 4 analog-modeled saturation circuits, parallel compression/limiting, and pre and post filters into one plugin. It also has 50+ factory presets, A/B compare, undo and redo, and up to 8x oversampling.
Crust drives the signal through one of four saturation circuits for harmonic color. Smash then limits and sustains that saturated signal. They run in series, and Autogain compensates the level as you drive harder.
Loc-Ness V3 offers 3 activations, so you can use it on up to 3 machines at the same time. Tone Empire gives studio, laptop and home as examples.
