Mutant Delay Black Friday pricing takes 60% off this host-synced delay plugin from W. A. Production, bringing it to $15.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
It has a ducker built in. That means the delay tails get out of the way of your source without a separate sidechain and compressor setup.
The ducker listens to the dry source and pulls down the wet delay signal while the source is playing. The delay fills the gaps instead of covering the performance.
The maker says this suits delays with plenty of feedback, such as vocals, synths and percussion. You get extreme delay settings while the definition of the original signal stays intact.
The maker pitches it at vocal processing in particular, replacing the routing most people build by hand for a ducked vocal delay.
The synced delay runs on the host tempo, with the left and right channels set independently. Times run from 1/1 to 1/16, in straight, triplet or dotted values.
A Ping-Pong option cross-mixes the feedback paths of the two channels for more complex patterns. Two filters, a high pass and a low pass, sculpt the delay output, and they work in either of two modes, the first of which confines every repeat to the band between the chosen low and high cutoff points.
The Mix dial sets the wet level. It works together with the ducker's Threshold and Ratio dials to control how the delay and its feedback behave.
The ducker section is laid out like a standard compressor. Threshold sets the level where it starts working, and Ratio sets how much gain reduction it applies.
Attack, Hold and Release go further. Attack lets the ducker ignore transients in the delay signal, Hold stabilises the gain reduction, and Release sets its fade-out time.
The maker suggests Attack at zero with a long Release for an atmospheric effect.
The plugin runs as VST on Windows 8 or later (32 and 64-bit) and as VST and AU on macOS 10.13 and later (64-bit only). AAX needs Pro Tools 11 or higher. If you are on a Mac with Apple Silicon, the maker asks you to read the compatibility status for your system before buying.
Yes. The Mutant Delay Black Friday deal takes 60% off, bringing this W. A. Production ducked delay plugin to $15.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
Mutant Delay is a host-synced delay with a built-in ducker. The ducker listens to the dry source and lowers the wet delay while the source plays, so heavy feedback tails leave room for vocals, synths or percussion.
On Windows 8 or later it runs as VST, 32 and 64-bit. On macOS 10.13 and later it runs as VST and AU, 64-bit only. AAX needs Pro Tools 11 or higher. Apple Silicon users should read the maker's compatibility note first.
Yes. It ships with a wide range of factory presets covering delay chains from standard processing to special FX, all reachable from the plugin menu. You can also save your own settings as user presets.
