Plugin Boutique’s Black Friday promos are live, with FabFilter’s lineup featuring up to 24% slashed from many of their go-to production tools. I’m a longtime user and I’m already eyeing up Timeless 3 for tape-like echoes, Saturn 2 for its rich, multiband distortion, and Pro-R 2 to replace generic reverbs with something that actually breathes. Black Friday plugin deals like this don’t come along all that often.

FabFilter plugins command attention for good reason. Their UI is a rare case of form matching substance: smooth, fluid, deeply visual, but never gimmicky. Under that clarity lies transparent DSP, high-resolution filters, and precise modulation. Whether you’re sculpting frequencies with surgical EQ, distorting with multi-band saturation, or designing ambient tails, FabFilter’s architecture rewards critical ears and provides control without colouring too aggressively.

This vintage-inspired tape delay is one I actually reach for ahead of some of the more guitar-friendly alternatives in my arsenal. It’s full of warmth, flexible modulation, filter sweeps and true stereo delay. At this price, it’s a no-brainer if you want lush echoes or experimental textures.

Includes Timeless 3, Saturn 2, Twin 3 and Volcano 3. This bundle is great for ambient, electronic or cinematic work, and far more flexible than buying each separately.

This is one of the reverbs I rely on when I need natural, musical space without the generic “washed out” sound. Pro-R 2’s decay controls, saturation and gating let me sculpt reverb that sits in the mix rather than flooding it.

This bundle gives you the full FabFilter universe: EQ, dynamics, distortion, delay, synths, filters – everything. If you’re building a long-term toolkit, this is the most efficient buy. I use elements from this on nearly every project.

Saturn 2 remains my go-to for adding rich, analogue-style saturation, transformer grit, or multiband dirt. The way you can morph between tape, tube and amp-style saturation with band control is unmatched. And, at this discounted rate, it’s a creative essential.

Because Plugin Boutique’s sale is genuinely across their major lines - effects, dynamics, distortion, delay and reverb - the kind of discount here actually lets you pick holes in your toolset. Rather than buying something you’ll never use, you can grab the exact FabFilter tools you rely on, at a moment when investing in quality matters.

FabFilter’s Total Bundle is knocked down by around 24%, meaning you can access most of their catalogue for significantly less than usual. Bundles like the Creative Bundle and essential FX packs are also included, making it a solid strategy to either round out your toolkit or treat this as a rare opportunity to go “all in” on FabFilter without regret.

If you already live in the FabFilter ecosystem, this sale is pure ROI: you’re not jumping into unknown territory, just consolidating proven tools at a discount. If you’re picking and choosing for the first time, the clarity, delay, saturation or reverb domains are all quality-first, not marketing-first.

This isn’t hype. These are discounts on tools that real producers and engineers depend on session after session.
