GOOSE BUS CRUSHER V1

Goose Bus Crusher

A FET limiter that only knows one setting: all the way in.

Goose Bus Crusher takes the famous "all buttons in" trick from classic FET limiters and makes it the entire personality of the plugin. There's no ratio to pick and no threshold to fiddle with. You turn the Input up, and the bus gets squashed, pumped, and grabbed hard, with the grit and attitude people love about that sound.

It's built for drum buses, parallel crush chains, room mics, guitars, and anything else that needs to hit harder and sound angrier.



Highlights

• One control for the crush. The big Input knob decides how hard the signal slams into the limiter. Low settings give gentle weight; high settings give full-on pumping.
• Always-on analog-style warmth. Transformer-style saturation is baked in, so every sound gets thicker and more harmonically rich as it's squashed.
• Fast, snappy Attack and Release. Both run from slow and breathing to ultra-fast and aggressive.
• Vintage VU meter. A hand-drawn cream-faced meter with a brushed-metal bezel and a needle that swings into the red as you push. Switch it between gain reduction, output level against a +8 or +4 reference, or switch it off.
• Sidechain filter (80 Hz / 150 Hz). High-pass the limiter's detector so heavy low end doesn't over-trigger the squash. Your audio isn't filtered, only what the limiter listens to.
• Laid out like a rack unit. Big numbered Input and Output knobs, Attack stacked over Release, and a row of ratio buttons that light up for looks. Dark and amber, in the house style.
• Fully automatable. Every control (Input, Output, Attack, Release, Meter Mode, Sidechain, Bypass) works with host automation, and the gain stages are smoothed so fast moves never click or zipper.
• Zero latency, stereo or mono.

Features AU, VST3, and Standalone options.
