Hot on the heels of the UAD Moog Minimoog promotion (81% off for a limited time), Plugin Boutique is back with another huge Black Friday discount. This time, we can save 72% on Soundtoys Decapitator, an ever-popular analog saturation modeler plugin.
Decapitator is available in 64-bit AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX formats for macOS (10.15 or later) and Windows (10 or later).
An internet connection is required during activation, but you no longer require a free iLok account for plugin activation (for more info on this topic, visit the Soundtoys website)
Decapitator is available for £44 (usually £159.95) at Plugin Boutique until December 4, 2025.
As with the recent UAD Minimoog offer, the product is also discounted on the developer’s website, but purchasing at Plugin Boutique entitles you to one of the following titles for free:
- Native Instruments Massive
- Excite Audio Bloom Vocal Edit Lite
- Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo
- IK Multimedia MixBox
- Lunacy Time
Decapitator offers five analog saturation models covering everything from subtle warmth to extreme saturation, and beyond with the Punish button.
The five included analog saturation models come from much-loved vintage hardware units.
A – Ampex 350 Tape
E – Chandler/EMI TG Channel
N – Neve 1057
T – Thermionic Culture Culture Vulture Triode Setting
P – Thermionic Culture Culture Vulture Pentode Setting
In addition to modeling classic hardware units, Soundtoys included an analog-modeled tone control to shape the saturation.
You also have Low Cut (20 Hz to 1 kHz), High Cut (1 kHz to 20 kHz) controls, and a Mix knob for parallel processing.
With all of those analog models and shaping options in mind, much of the attraction still comes from cranking the Drive and hitting the Punish button.
Punish introduces additional gain, which is often more akin to throwing everything off a cliff than a gentle nudge over the edge.
But it highlights the excellent and time-consuming work the developer put into recreating the behavior of analog gear.
It wouldn’t be right to end things without mentioning our own BPB Saturator Plus. It’s great to see so many of you enjoying the plugin!
