Vertigo VSS-2 delivers the revered sound of high-end analog hardware—handwired in Germany and trusted by Grammy-winning producers—in one comprehensive channel strip plugin. By combining the most celebrated components from Vertigo’s premium hardware lineup, VSS-2 offers professional-grade signal processing that elevates your productions with authentic analog warmth, precision, and character.

The Complete Vertigo Console Experience

VSS-2 isn’t just another channel strip—it’s a meticulously modeled collection of Vertigo’s finest analog circuits working in harmony:

  • Premium Filtering from VSE-2: Surgically remove unwanted frequencies with high and low pass filters that clean up your tracks with transparent precision
  • Legendary 1979 Quad VCA Compression from VSC-3: Control dynamics with punchy, gloss-adding compression that breathes life into flat sounds
  • Discrete Gyrator EQ from VSE-4: Shape your tone with the unmistakable warmth and super-smooth response of genuine inductor EQ circuits
  • Tube Saturation from VSM-4: Add the perfect amount of harmonic richness with switchable Pentode/Triode tube stages

What would normally require multiple pieces of high-end outboard gear costing tens of thousands of dollars is now available in one seamlessly integrated signal chain.

Transform Your Mixing Workflow

Vocal Tracks

Watch as harsh vocals transform into smooth, radio-ready performances. The quad VCA compression gently tames dynamics while the Gyrator EQ adds presence exactly where needed. Finish with tube saturation to introduce subtle harmonics that help vocals sit perfectly in your mix.

Drum Processing

Bring punch and authority to lackluster drums. The filtering section cleans up unwanted low-end rumble, while the compressor adds attack and sustain. The discrete EQ circuits add weight and presence that digital EQs simply can’t match.

Mix Bus Enhancement

Turn a good mix into a great one. The tube saturation stages add cohesion and “glue” while the Gyrator EQ provides that final touch of polish. The result is the three-dimensional, full-bodied sound that defines professional productions.

Pro-Level Features for Discerning Producers

  • Flexible Signal Routing: Customize your signal flow by reordering the four processing sections
  • Advanced Compression Controls: Fine-tune your dynamics with sidechain filtering and precise attack/release settings
  • Switchable EQ Characteristics: Toggle between narrow and wide Q settings for each band to achieve surgical precision or musical shaping
  • Dual Tube Configurations: Choose between Pentode and Triode tube types with Hard/Soft saturation options
  • FIR Oversampling: Maintain pristine audio quality even during heavy processing
  • THD Mix Control: Dial in the perfect amount of harmonic distortion to taste
