AudioDeluxe is a regular source of exclusive discounts, and this time, it’s a massive 80% off two SSL favorites, SSL X-ValveComp and SSL Drumstrip.
You can get 80% off SSL X-ValveComp and SSL Drumstrip plugins for a limited time (the offer ends February 16, 2026).
The discount means you can grab X-ValveComp for $9.99 (down from $49.99) and Drumstrip for $19.99 (down from $99).
It’s a good time to buy SSL plugins; don’t forget the SSL Native X-Saturator is available for just $7.99 at Plugin Boutique until February 15, 2026.
On top of the above discount, you’ll get either Minimal Audio’s Cluster Delay or Thenatan’s TAWUS free with your purchase at Plugin Boutique.
Now, back to AudioDeluxe.
SSL X-ValveComp is a mono or stereo channel compressor that offers vintage valve emulation.
You can switch between Peak and RMS modes, manual and auto gain make-up modes, and there’s a dry/wet mix for parallel compression.
When engaged, the Valve In button brings in a tube compressor emulation that saturates the signal by adding harmonics. The valve stage occurs after the compression in the signal path.
You also have a sidechain input with low- and high-cut filters, along with a useful Listen button to hear the compressor sidechain.
The SSL Drumstrip features five audio processing tools that collectively breathe life into tired drum and percussion tracks.
The strip includes a Transient Shaper, Gate, High/Low Frequency Enhancers, and the SSL Listen Mic Compressor (inspired by the SSL 4000 E Series console).
The Gate is a good way to tighten everything up, from shortening hits to controlling wayward ambience.
You can take that a step further by using the Transient Shaper to add attack to drum hits.
One of the cool things about Drumstrip is that you can configure the processors/modules in any order to change how they interact with the incoming signal.
I had Drumstrip as part of a previous subscription, and it’s a solid buy for $19.99.
In addition to these two plugins, AudioDeluxe is offering up to 51% off other SSL products.
Other products include SSL autoBUS, autoEQ, and autoDYN (also available as a bundle for bigger savings).
