(26 customer reviews)

Made in conjuction with David Bendeth, +10db is a channel strip plugin meticulously modeled after one David’s personal hardware compressor unit that you’ve heard on some of the hardest hitting albums made. Unless you refuse to listen to any music after Beethoven, you most certainly have heard this unit in action. Best yet, this is the first time this hardware unit has been available in plugin format.

This bundle gives you 3 plugins:

Trial Mac
Trial Windows
User Manual

Available Formats

Mac: VST2, VST3, AU, AAX Native – MacOS 10.13 or greater – Intel or M1

PC: VST2, VST3, AAX Native – Windows 7 or greater

Available as 64-bit only.

Features

  • Super punchy attack
  • Killer drum compressor
  • Unique analog EQ

The +10db recreates a piece of gear that may not be as ubiquitous as other well known counterparts, however the original’s sonic signature has made it a well kept (until now) secret weapon for me and countless other engineers. From the beautiful smash of the compressor/limiter to the oft forgotten, but unique sounding eq section, this plug-in recreates the personality of the hardware with aplomb.

+10db is the first of it’s kind channel strip plugin modelled after David Bendeth’s personal compressor unit. We didn’t just use the hardware unit for inspiration, we dug in deep and made sure that it sounded just like the original. If you’ve ever listened to Breaking Benjamin or Paramore, or any of the other countless other records mixed by David Bendeth, one of the first things you’ll notice is how damn punchy the drums sound. This unit is a critical part of his drum mixing chain, and now it can be a part of yours.

Why did we model this unit?

It seems like everybody is modeling hardware these days, but we wanted to do something a little different. We didn’t want to model any hardware units that have been done a million times. We wanted to do something that had never been done before but has been an icon in the recording industry, and the only way to do that was to team up with producer/mixer David Bendeth. He just happened to have a few of these in his rack, so he sent us one to pore over.

Unless you stopped listening to music after “Johnny B Goode” then you have most definitely heard this hardware unit many many times. Think of Led Zeppelin drums.

In order to get this same compressor in hardware, not only would you have to pay over $2,000 to get one, but you’d have to deal with all the other drawbacks of using analog hardware. For a very small fraction of the price, you can get that same sound in the much more convenient software format. There are really no downsides (unless you live in Alaska an need a room heater)

A few extra features

Since we weren’t bound by the limits of the analog hardware, we took the liberty of adding a couple features that make this even more powerful than the original hardware. For one, we added a “Dry Passthrough” knob that makes parallel compression super easy, without having to set up extra buses.

3 Plugins in 1

When you buy the +10db bundle, you actually walk away with three separate plugins: +10db Compressor, +10db Equaliser and +10db Channel Strip.

    I experienced some bugs from version 2.0.5 and reported these. Some were so annoying that I stopped using this plugin altogether. Long story short, I recently downloaded v2.0.12 and viola! everything solved. Awesome! Some things just take time I guess. This bundle is just killer on the drum bus!

  2. Razzia –

    Same great sound. Much improved user friendliness. Very generous upgrade offer. Same old Boz. Still one of the most under appreciated developers in this space, in my opinion. Thanks Boz.

  3. dduke77 –

    I was having some real trouble with a badly recorded snare + a sample, getting them to sit in the mix, so I summed the signal to a parallel aux and strapped this bundle across it, chose one of the snare presets, and now I have a very crunchy, snappy snare banging away right where it needs to be in a 90s-style grunge / metal mix. Being so pleased, I put it across the drums submix parallel buss, and it absolutely destroys. Barely touched the settings to adjust to taste. 6/5 stars.

  4. Aaron Whisnant –

    This is an awesome sounding plugin! So was it worth buying? Absolutely! Seriously, has that magic little sound that seems to add a little something to your tracks. Coming from someone who grew up on 2 inch tape and analog consoles I have always wrestled with the lack of warmth in the digital realm. While it’s really gotten better over the years, there’s just a tonal element that digital doesn’t quite have yet. So I rely heavily on using plugins that can pepper my tracks with that “IT” sound. Something that separates an eq or comp from the other plugins, usually it’s somewhere in the low mids and hi mids. This really does stand out. Especially good on guitars both acoustic and electric. You won’t regret it.

  5. whydoIneedausername –

    This is amazing!! It takes what was great in V1 and makes it even more user friendly. Totally worth the upgrade.

  6. Bondus –

    One of my favourite aggressive drum compressors. But please update to work on Monterey / M1 Plugin was last updated in 2017.

    These are the days. The days to create, create, and create. Boz, has done it again with a rare, intuitive, and extremely musical set of tools designed with one of the giants in the art of sound. There are many choices for sure though for those who want to create art for the sake of humanity, enhancing the species, and quietly change the world. We know that it begins with the personal weapons of choice that we gather up to move on our journey. Take a chance on this impressive suite and see if it makes sense to add to your arsenal of tools to transcend space and time. Ars. Nova. Strata . . .

  8. randomaction –

    I love Boz Plugins but these have been a disappointment.The eq is grainy and harsh and I haven’t found anything it sounds good on. The compressor is ok but it hasn’t improved anything I’ve put it on yet. Just kind of bland. I hate feeling like I spent money on this and now it’s just going to go to waste.

  9. fridburg –

    these are wonderful plugins, I just did not expect it, I can say that I am very pleased with the purchase

  10. muse –

    I’m made up that this plugin has been produced! I have two F769 Stressors and a very old stereo F760. These plugins really do produce the same results. The EQ (Helios vibe) is superb on drums, bass, vocals & guitar etc. providing a superb & very unique tight Q, yet giving very smooth result. The compressor is very rock & roll, with a limiter combined that smacks really well. The extra bonus is the mix control for parallel processing… I’m so happy! SO many engineers have still missed out on this unique design, so buy it! & I’m not sponsored!!

  11. S1M1S –

    Absolutely slaps.

  12. Razzia –

    Love it. The compressor/expander sounds great and I like the EQ almost as much as the Hoser. I’m not sure how exactly to describe it, but when you drive the input it does something really nice with the midrange.

    I do wish the input and output stages had a bit more range on them though. It seems to make the track quieter even without the compressor engaged, and it can sometimes be a little bit of a pain to check your work with loudness matching. It’s a small complaint though, for an otherwise excellent good plugin(s).

  13. Chucaro Albaradize –

    The way the SC EQ and the expander on this plugin behave makes it such an especial unit, but let me tell you it sounds great also. Run any harsh sound into it and even without touching the controls it will already (slightly) sound better. Now use the SC EQ and control those undesired frequency specific peaks. The auto-release comes very handy as well, not to mention the limiter and the mix knob. I have to admit I haven’t used the gate much here but I wouldn’t doubt for a second that it sounds great.

  14. RickSpyder –

    Rick Spyder here, The Hoser has a indescribable wow factor that is, and constantly suprises me as i use it. This EQ is becoming one of my three main EQ’s for everything. The top end is the best i’ve heard in a plug. Great bargain. A MUST HAVE, Enjoy

  15. Duane Neillson –

    Bad Ass!!!! I’ve told friends and friends of friends, and people who are not even musicians about this plug-in – as I’m sure it’ll make everyones lives better! Thanks a million! Duane

  16. Dex J –

  17. mrwiz2rd9 –

    I want to help programmer with making more customers is to bring out more free preset for your product it keep customers happy they tell there friends and so on.Company who take the time get engineers to do this I don’t want let users of Cakewalk to know this I got my copy the day it came out. Not enough presets to really give a good review. I Have over 17 years in computers and software I own over 700 plug-ins I know what i’m talking about

  18. prajek9 –

    you just keep cranking out amazing stuff boz ive been toying around with this and I just cant get it to sound bad. I look forward to what you come up with next.

  23. siegym –

    Nothing out there sounds like this thing. Kudos to you both for making not only a unique product in the saturated world of plugins, but also an insanely good and useful one.

  24. Joe_04_04 –

    The EQ is super smooth. You can get extremely gentle sounds from it or you can make some extremely radical sounds with it. The compressor is the same. It can be both smooth and aggressive as hell. Its much more versatile than its marketed. I’ve used it on a number of sources outside of drums. Very great strip.. and something totally new to the plugin world.

  25. brian7oe –

    Great Plugin!!!
