The Soul Squash Black Friday deal from Tone Empire takes 51% off this compressor plugin, which puts it at $19 until Nov 25, 2026.
Soul Squash is a compressor plugin based on a vintage solid-state compressor pedal. The maker says it was sampled and replicated with its NM2 Neural Network technology, and describes the sound as clean and solid-state.
The maker pitches it at soul and funk tones, and says it suits pianos, clavinets, orchestra, bass, vocals and drums.
It compresses the incoming signal with a minimal control set. The maker says that layout keeps it easy to drop into any setup.
A Dry Mix control blends the unprocessed signal back in, so you can run it as parallel compression on a single instance. There is no need to set up a separate bus or send for that.
The maker describes the overall character as vintage punch with some versatility.
Here is what each control does:
Input Adjust and Output Adjust work as gain-staging trims around the main Compressor and Output controls. Output Adjust sits after the dry mix, so you can set the final level once the blend is dialed in.
On Mac, Soul Squash runs on macOS 10.13 or later, 64-bit only, on Intel and native M1. Formats are VST3, AU and AAX.
On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later, 64-bit only, in VST3 or AAX format.
Both platforms call for an Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen processor or equivalent, 2 GB of RAM, 300 MB of disk space and a screen resolution of 1024 × 768.
If you run an M1 Mac with Logic Pro 10.7.2 or above, or Ableton 11.1, use the M1 installer. Every other DAW takes the regular Mac installer.
