The VSC-3 Plugin faithfully replicates the iconic Vertigo Sound quad discrete VCA Compressor hardware, delivering its distinctive character in a digital format compatible with macOS and Windows. Available in VST3, AAX, and AU plug-in formats, this compressor brings the warmth and punch of classic analog processing directly to your DAW. Its design captures the essence of the original hardware's discrete VCA architecture, offering smooth and dynamic compression that enhances any mix.

With a unique discrete VCA distortion spectrum reaching up to 0.6% THD, the VSC-3 provides a rich tonal palette that combines both subtle warmth and aggressive punch. Users benefit from a flexible compression range, from soft vari-mu style smoothness to a brick-wall ratio of 40:1. The plugin features both PEAK and RMS detection modes, along with a wide selection of time constants for precise control over attack and release characteristics. Its super-fast metering ensures accurate monitoring of compression behavior in real time.

Exclusive to the VSC-3 plugin is a Low Cut Sidechain Filter offering six frequency settings, allowing for tailored signal shaping and improved compression response. Each channel also includes Dry/Wet controls, enabling parallel compression techniques to blend unprocessed and compressed signals for added depth and presence. This combination of features makes the VSC-3 a powerful tool for adding punch and clarity to drums, vocals, and full mixes alike.
