The modular system is said to contain McDSP's largest collection of processors to date - over 30 modules for EQ, compression, saturation, distortion, dynamics processing and others.
Because they think your distortion sucks, Softube designed one with five "completely different" sounding algorithms in addition to high and low-cut filters and a blend knob.
Auburn Sounds released Couture, a dynamics editing and transient shaper plug-in with saturation - all in a single window. This way, you no longer have to apply separate processing and switch windows.
Intensity appears to be in a league of its own, for it's not a compressor and it's not a typical exciter, either. It's something you'll have to throw onto your tracks and find out if it works for you.
Evo Channel by developer Flux comprises an overdrive, phase corrector, compressor, EQ, desser, expander, transient/sustain designer, and other processors. Let's have a deeper look!
Soundspot presented an interesting plug-in for everyone wishing to get their audio's dynamics under control. It's the Axis, a combination of the developer's MSW1 and Propane plug-ins with an added compressor.
Somewhat under the radar, maker of sturdy and affordable studio gear ART is unveiling Dual Limiter - a two-channel 1U rackmount limiter that's priced a measly 149 USD. This doesn't mean ART...

Fulltone is adding a new pedal to their Full-Drive range of overdrive effects, a back-to-basics approach to the same classic '90s drive tones that made the original famous - yet with a few added features.
DynaRide probably won't smash drums in the style of a 1176, but might end up sounding cool and useful for other things - like more "surgical", mix leveling work. It looks modern, but with a vintage edge...
