DirtyDyna
Edgy. Punchy. Dirty.
Eight neural-captured chains of legendary compressors, tube pre-amps, and tape machines. One knob picks the flavor, one fader slams it. Then add lo-fi grit, circuit-clipping distortion, 3-band EQ, and parallel mix — all in a single plugin built to make drums, guitars, and vocals hit harder.

Explosive dynamics,
in one plugin.
DirtyDyna isn't a clean compressor. It's a character box — built to add color, glue, and grit the moment you drop it in. Drums hit harder. Guitars cut through. Vocals get that weight.
Drums & breaks
Crush a loop, fatten a kick, glue a full kit. The chains nail every classic drum sound from 70s funk breaks to modern trap thump.
Guitars & bass
Add grit, attitude, and analog warmth without reaching for an amp sim. Clean DI bass becomes a living, breathing thing.
Vocals & keys
Glue a dry vocal, thicken a piano, smash a synth stack. The parallel mix blends untouched detail back under the damage.
Captured from real analog hardware
Eight legendary chains,one knob away.
Each of the A through H positions is a complete chain of gear — compressor, tube pre-amp, tape stage — captured with neural modelling and reduced to a single switch. Think 1176 all-buttons into tape. Opto through an amp. A full distressor nuke chain. Flip the letter, grab the Intensity fader, and the character is already dialled in.
No menu diving. No routing. Just pick a letter, pull the fader, and your track has a voice.
Built for the hit,engineered for the groove.
DirtyDyna was born for drums. From crushed breakbeat loops to tight modern kits, the neural chains shape every transient and tail — adding weight, punch, and character without smearing what makes your drums feel alive.
A 70s funk break through chain A. A trap kit smashed with chain E. A rock kit glued with chain C. Flip the letter, pull the fader, and the drums are already sitting in the pocket.
Everything dirty,
everything fast.
Six more controls turn a great compressor into a full character box. All laid out on one screen. No sub-menus.
Lo-Fi knob
Bit-crushing and sample-rate reduction in one control. Adds that old-sampler vibe — from subtle grit to full 80s drum-machine crunch.
DIST circuit clipping
Crunchy circuit-style distortion that adds harmonic weight and edge. Push it into saturation territory or tip it into full clip.
MIX parallel blend
Dry/wet mix for instant New York-style parallel compression. Keep the transients, add the smash — no aux bus required.
3-band EQ
Lo, Mid, Hi bands with wide Q for smooth tone shaping. Tame brightness, add body, carve out mud — all post-compression.
AutoGain + Trim
Automatic makeup gain keeps your levels matched while you dial in the sound. Trim sets the final output — no surprises.
100 factory presets
Starting points for drums, bass, guitar, vocals, and full bus processing. Built by producers to get you to "that sounds right" fast.
Trusted by the pros.
As simple as this plugin and its controls are, it has that elusive quality that makes tracks feel alive.
I love the color that Dirty Dyna gives to my drums — dirty and powerful. It's become a secret weapon.
Your Dirty Dyna is absolutely brilliant. Anything I run through it comes out better.
This is really fire — especially for parallel. I really liked it.
Frequently asked questions
Each A–H position is a complete signal chain — compressor, tube pre-amp, and tape stage — captured from classic studio hardware using neural modelling. They range from smooth opto-style glue to aggressive 1176 all-buttons smash and extreme distressor nuke. Flip the letter to change the personality.
Neural capture uses a machine-learning model to analyse and reproduce the sonic behaviour of real analog hardware — non-linear distortion, transient response, harmonic content, and saturation — at a level of accuracy traditional DSP modelling can't match. Each chain in DirtyDyna is a neural snapshot of a real signal path.
