Rankin Audio has recently launched a new multiband effect plugin designed to make everything sound huge.
Henchman can be used to add weight and punch to kicks and 808s, bring clarity and presence to vocals, glue your drum bus together, add warmth and saturation to synths, or push your masters louder while maintaining clarity.
With three bands to work with, the mid and high bands come loaded with fifteen different exciter, saturation, and distortion modes. Each band has mid/side processing and its own compressor, so you can shape width, tone, and punch exactly where you want it.
Henchman features
- Per-band compression, enhancement, and width control.
- 15 different exciter / saturator flavors for unique sound shaping.
- Brickwall limiter to push your sound without wrecking your mix.
- Bass Harmonics for powerful low-end translation on small speakers.
- Visualized compression for precise tweaking.
- Snapshot system for instant A/B comparisons.
- Over 100 presets to get creative quickly.
Available in VST3 and AU plugin formats for Windows and macOS (AAX coming soon), Henchman is on sale at Plugin Boutique for the intro price of $39 USD / £29.99 GBP until April 7th, 2026 (regular $59 USD / £44.99 GBP).
