PA / $10 Weekend Deal
Posted: Oct 11, 2025 2:03 am
This weekend, there are four plugins on sale over at Plugin Alliance and there's one — the Vertigo VSS-2 — which I'd buy immediately if I didn't have all the Vertigo Sound plugins (which are combined in this VSS-2) already.
People sometimes get a little confused about all this Vertigo stuff, so let me explain:
(1) Vertigo Sound is a company that makes high-end studio hardware.
(2) Brainworx modelled some of these Vertigo boxes and the result consists of two Plugin Alliance plugins (the VSC-2 compressor and the VSM-3 mojo box) which were also licensed to Universal Audio.
(3) Some years ago, Vertigo Sound themselves began working on their own software models of their hardware — comparable to what Heritage Audio is doing at the moment — resulting in 4 high-quality (but rather expensive) plugins. So, to be clear, these are in-house Vertigo Sound creations, nothing to do with Brainworx, nothing that I know of anyway.
(4) A little while ago, Plugin Alliance came out with the VSS-2 which, surprisingly, is NOT another Brainworx plugin, but an actual Vertigo-made channel strip plug-in that combines parts of their 4 existing plugins. A sort of "best of Vertigo Sound" in one plug-in, if you will.
And it is this "best of" that is this weekend available for $10. Which is a crazier than crazy price.
