Tone Empire has recently released an update to its drum processor effect plugin.
Loc-Ness 3 combines 4 analog-modeled saturation circuits, parallel compression/limiting, and surgical pre/post filtering into one devastating processor.
Loc-Ness has been a staple on producers’ and engineers’ drum buses, guitar tracks, and mix sessions for years. It’s earned its place as one of those plugins you reach for without thinking — because it just works.
Now, V3 takes everything you already love and pushes it further with a brand-new DSP engine, autogain, A/B comparison, undo/redo, 50+ factory presets, and oversampling up to 8x.
Changes in Loc-Ness 3
- Redesigned DSP Engine: Better sounding, more refined saturation and compression.
- Autogain: Automatic level compensation as you push harder.
- A/B Compare: Instantly switch between two settings mid-session.
- Undo / Redo: Full history so you can experiment without fear.
- 50+ Factory Presets: Professionally crafted starting points for every use case.
- Up to 8x Oversampling: Alias-free, pristine analog character at every drive level.
- Resizable GUI: Scale from 50% to 150% — works on any monitor setup.
Regularly $99 USD, Loc-Ness 3 for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for $29 USD at Plugin Boutique until March 31st, 2026. Owners of Loc-Ness V2 can upgrade for free.
