Acustica Audio has announced an update to its acclaimed mastering clipper effect plugin for Windows and macOS.
Redesigned as a single, unified plugin for a faster and more direct workflow, Ash 2 combines converter-inspired tone, model-specific saturation, and advanced clipping behavior to deliver punch, density, harmonic richness, and perceived loudness without compromising musicality.
ASH 2 includes 28 emulations organized into 10 classic and modern clipping families, each with its own NOVA-powered preamplification stage, harmonic response, saturation behavior, and clipping character.
From transparent mastering enhancement to aggressive loudness shaping, every model offers a unique balance of tone, density, transient impact, and coloration, allowing you to choose the right sonic identity for every mix, stem, bus, or master.
Available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats, Ash 2 is on sale for the introduction price of €99 EUR until July 2nd, 2026 (regular €199 EUR).
