The benchmark evolved

For years, ASH has been a trusted tool for mixing and mastering engineers seeking punch, density, and loudness without compromising musicality.


ASH 2 takes that concept further with model-specific saturation, deeper harmonic behavior, new clipping models, and a completely unified workflow that brings the entire ASH experience into a single plug-in.


More character. More control. More loudness.


One plug-in. The full ASH philosophy.

28 Emulations. Endless Possibilities.

ASH 2 includes 28 emulations organized into 10 classic and modern clipping families, each with its own NOVA-powered preamplification stage, harmonic response, saturation behavior, and clipping character.
