Decapitator

The deal

$65.58 at Loot Audio (down from $189.00) - 65% off Soundtoys' analog saturation plugin. This is a limited-time flash deal; it expires August 5, 2026 at 1:01 PM UTC.

What it is

Decapitator is Soundtoys' saturation plugin built around five detailed models of classic and modern studio hardware, each with its own analog-modeled tone control. It ranges from subtle harmonic warmth to full-on, driven distortion, with a dedicated Punish mode that pushes gain into aggressive analog-style saturation instead of thin digital clipping.

Who it's for

Mix engineers and producers who want to add weight, grit, or character to vocals, drums, bass, and full mix busses without patching in outboard hardware. Works well for anyone chasing a punchier low end, a beefier vocal chain, or that "driven through a console" glue on a mix.

Key features

• Five distinct analog saturation models sourced from vintage and modern studio gear
• A Punish button that kicks in extra gain for extreme, hardware-style overdrive
• A built-in Mix knob for parallel processing without setting up a separate bus
• Native Apple Silicon and VST 3 support across Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and Cubase
