Locness V3 from Tone Empire is a channel processor built first for drums, and it combines saturation, compression and filtering in a single plugin. Four drive characters range from gentle thickening to crunch, while the smash style controls let you push a drum hit, a room recording or a full drum bus as far as the track needs. It also works well on vocals, bass and synths that need weight. Updated Aug 19, 2026.
