Pythor V2 Black Friday pricing from Tone Empire is $29, 70% off, until Nov 25, 2026, for a compressor plugin built on a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) topology.
The maker describes the compression as fast, aggressive and musical, aimed at drums, vocals and instruments that need to sit front and center in the mix.
A 2-band parametric EQ comes on top of the compressor. The maker says it extends the original hardware design.
The PWM circuit gives ultra-fast attack times and precise control. The maker says it keeps punch intact while it controls peaks.
The maker points to overheads, kicks and snares, and also to hard compression on other instruments while holding on to clarity and punch.
The controls cover a wide range, from gentle glue compression to aggressive limiting.
The GUI is redesigned with a modern look and a revised layout.
A new preset browser is meant to speed up your workflow and make sounds easier to recall.
The maker says the UltraX oversampling has been optimized for noticeably lower CPU usage, and that cross-DAW stability is improved on both Mac and Windows.
V2 replaces v1 automatically. You install it and carry on.
Ultra-X runs models at up to 192kHz, which the maker says minimizes aliasing and gives a higher frequency response.
The incoming audio is oversampled to feed these models. They are powered by Tone Empire's proprietary NM2 machine learning technology.
The maker's pitch for the plugin as a whole is taming vocals, smashing drum buses or sculpting a distinct compression tone.
Yes. The Pythor V2 Black Friday deal takes 70% off Tone Empire's PWM compressor plugin, which brings the price to $29. The offer runs until Nov 25, 2026.
Pythor V2 pairs a PWM compressor with a 2-band parametric EQ. It has threshold, ratio, attack, release, a dry/wet mix control, output gain and a VU meter, plus Ultra-X mode and a preset browser.
The maker lists a redesigned GUI, a new preset browser, optimized UltraX oversampling with lower CPU usage, and improved cross-DAW stability on Mac and Windows. V2 replaces v1 automatically once you install it.
Yes. The mix control blends the dry and compressed signals, so you can run parallel compression inside the plugin. The maker says this keeps transient detail while adding body and sustain, which suits drums and aggressive processing.
