So, I’ve been on a bit of a gear-hunt lately. I wanted plugins I could use now, that feel like serious value.
I wanted to find plugins that I could see myself using for many, many years but without busting the bank. Here are five deals that made me sit up and perhaps you might want to consider them too.
After all, these are super discounted deals on specific plugins that come by once in a year, maybe. So, without further ado, let’s get started, fellas.

5 Best Deals of The Month: October 2025
1) Amplitube 5
If you’re into guitar (or bass) tone design, Amplitube 5 offers tons of gear modelling, and some serious depth.
The quality of the amp modelling is superb, the quantity of included gear is just massive and the scope of what it can achieve is limited only by your creativity.
If you already record and mix your own guitar/bass tracks, Amplitube 5 could replace several smaller plugins and amp sims you already have.
What really sets Amplitube 5 apart is that this isn’t just a “plug in and get one amp” situation. You’re getting an environment.
If you frequently tinker with tones, effects chains, mic placements, etc., this could be a platform rather than a one-off purchase.
Just make sure you have the CPU headroom (lots of models + chains = load). It is currently on offer for just $29.99 instead of the usual $199. You wouldn’t want to miss out on this one.
2) SSL Greatest Hits Bundle
This is a bundle that puts three renowned plugins together: Channel Strip 2, G3 MultiBusComp, and FlexVerb.
It’s currently on offer for something like $397 USD (marked way, way down) recently.
Each of these plugins on their own would be a respectable purchase if you’re in mixing/engineering mode.
The channel strip gives you the classic console-channel vibe, the G3 gives “glue” compression across bands, and FlexVerb covers reverb with solid flexibility.
If you mix regularly or want your stock plugins to step up, this bundle gives big names at a very accessible price.
All together, this one’s a hard-to-resist value proposition if you’ve felt your current mixing tools are a bit “meh”.
3) SSL Fusion Vintage Drive
Yes, another from SSL, but very different application. SSL Fusion Vintage Drive is a saturation/harmonic plugin at its core rather than a full channel strip or mix bus VST.
If you have mix/channel tracks that feel lifeless, flat, or lacking character, this plugin can give that much needed warmth, drive, and “glue” feel.
The SSL Fusion Vintage Drive works with all kinds of mixes spanning across genres aplenty such as rock, and metal to pop, rap, and hip-hop. Just don’t overuse it. The magic might be in subtlety. It’s on sale for just $99.
4) Korg Multi/Poly Native Analog‑Modeling Synthesizer
An emulation of the vintage KORG Mono/Poly, this VST blends analog sounds with remarkable digital power.
The Korg Multi/Poly Native gives you access to tons of third-party libraries, incredible sounding filters and oscillators and comes with motion sequencing 2.0.
Here’s the interesting part: owners of the hardware multi/poly are eligible for a crossgrade license to multi/poly for a special price of $49.99.
5) Dawesome Kontrast
The Dawesome Kontrast presents something unique in the world of wavetable synthesis and offers decent sound design flexibility at the same time. The USP of Kontrast lies in its design that is meant for speed and effortless tweakage.
For starters, it offers non-linear editing that can be tweaked in ways you would have never imagined before.
Plus, the Dawesome Kontrast offers tons of analog filters, deep modulation, and world-class presets that will make your tracks sparkle in no time.
