The Pulsar Audio Blue Bundle Black Friday deal pairs the MP-EQ equalizer with the VM-COMP tube compressor for $89, which is 55% off, with the offer ending Dec 7, 2026.
The maker built MP-EQ to sit alongside VM-COMP, and says the two together already make a complete mastering chain for shaping the spectrum and the dynamics.
The idea is to add warmth and colour to a mix while staying transparent.
Two plugins: Pulsar MP-EQ and Pulsar VM-COMP.
MP-EQ is the equalizer and VM-COMP is the compressor. Both are effects plugins, so they go on a channel, a bus or the master in your signal chain.
MP-EQ is an emulation of an analog EQ the maker says is found in almost every mastering studio worldwide. The design draws on the finest passive EQ units built across the last seven decades.
The topology is fully parallel, so the bands interact with each other. The maker says that gives a more musical overall response than a digital EQ set to the same values.
The circuit is entirely passive, with custom hand-wound inductors, tubes and transformers. Pulsar says this delivers creamy highs, balanced mids and organic warmth through magnetic saturation.
Modern additions sit on top of the hardware behaviour:
VM-COMP is a variable-bias tube compressor. That compressor type is known for smooth, transparent gain control, and for gluing buses, mixes and masters together.
The maker points out that the original hardware is expensive and awkward to bring into an in-the-box workflow. It also says many hardware owners feel software emulations always miss something.
Pulsar's answer is Topology Preservation Technology. VM-COMP is presented by its developer as a faithful match for the original hardware, whatever the session or material.
It also adds a few things the hardware does not have, including visual sidechain EQ editing and extended timing ranges.
The feature list:
Yes. The Black Friday deal on the Pulsar Audio Blue Bundle takes 55% off, so the MP-EQ and VM-COMP pair costs $89. The offer ends Dec 7, 2026.
The bundle holds two plugins: Pulsar MP-EQ, a passive-style equalizer, and Pulsar VM-COMP, a variable-bias tube compressor. The maker says the pair already forms a complete mastering chain for spectrum and dynamics.
MP-EQ offers visual curve editing, Mid-Side processing, oversampling, metering and a spectrum analyser, drive control, auto-gain, a transformer section, a smart GUI and a linear phase mode. Its parallel topology makes the bands interact.
The maker credits its Topology Preservation Technology, saying it sounds objectively identical to the hardware. It adds external sidechain, Mid-Side processing, Look Ahead and Look Behind, a flexible sidechain equalizer, and low CPU consumption.
