SUCCESSOR

The SUCCESSOR plugin brings Heritage Audio’s renowned diode bridge compressor to your DAW, delivering the warm, colorful, and fat compression that made the hardware a studio staple. Unlike clean VCA compressors, it adds rich 2nd-order harmonic distortion while removing harsh odd harmonics, giving your tracks a musical, vintage character. Originally designed for mix bus duties, it excels on subgroups, tracking sessions, and even mastering. The ultra-fast attack and release let you achieve FET-like compression and volume maximization without transient artifacts, while advanced sidechain filtering offers precise control. A standout feature is the new ‘Nuke’ mode, which adds +20dB before compression for extreme, creative compression effects. Used by top engineers like Chris Lord-Alge, the SUCCESSOR suits producers and musicians seeking analog mojo and energy in their mixes. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to add warmth, punch, and vitality to their music.
