Smasher (Free)

Pulsar Smasher is a straightforward extreme compressor modeled after the “British mode” of a uniquely modified 1176 compressor. Effortlessly smash your dynamics !

While remaining very close to the original circuitry, this modification adds definition to the low-frequency transients, and makes the whole tone more aggressive. Decidedly not versatile, this effect is especially useful to enhance the ambience in overheads, to slightly thicken a bass or to emphasise vocals.
