Punch Limiting Amplifier v3 (PC VST Only)

Punch Limiting Amplifier v3

Punch is one of Minimal System Instruments most popular plugins as it is an up-to-date version of one of the all time classic analogue compression and limiting processors. Punch offers an array of ratio's including 2:1, 4:1, and 8:1 perfect for compression duties - but there is also the 20:1 ratio designed for full limiting applications. With a professionally designed interface and unrivalled versatility Punch is a studio tool that you should not be without.

Comment Techno Producer 'Psionzfikshun' recently purchased our Punch compressor and compared it to the real 1176. Below is what he had to say:

'I Just wanted to let you guys know, your plug-ins astound me. I was hooked on the Waves SSL and API collections, and honestly those are some of the only plug-ins that I even own, but your SSi Pro Compressor and “Punch” are both absolutely fantastic. I stumbled across the plug-ins when searching for some cheaper VST compressors for Windows. I found Minimal System Instruments and thought I’d give them a try and compare them against some of the Waves stuff I had already purchased. They sound great, look great, operate like the real thing. I compared the Punch compressor to a track recorded with a real 1176, and it sounded almost identical. Granted, the real 1176 was a bit darker (just because the one I used was older than me!) but that is just a matter of using your EQ plug-in to filter out some high end.

Pro grade stuff, really. I am completely sold."
