Soundtoys has launched its annual Black Friday sale with discounts of 60% or more across its entire plugin catalog through December 4, while continuing its charitable commitment through Radiator plugin sales that fund humanitarian relief efforts.
The Burlington, Vermont-based audio effects company, founded by Ken Bogdanowicz (the DSP designer behind Eventide’s H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer), is offering multiple pathways for producers and engineers to access its effects suite at year-end pricing.
Three Ways to Save on Soundtoys 5
The complete Soundtoys 5 bundle, which includes 23 professional effects plugins plus the new SpaceBlender experimental reverb, is available through three pricing tiers during the sale.
Current users who own any Soundtoys license, even free ones, can upgrade to the full bundle for 60% off by trading up their existing licenses. For those without any Soundtoys products, the complete bundle drops from $599 to $239.
Students and educators at qualifying universities or approved audio programs can obtain a full, non-expiring bundle license for just $119, down from $299, though verification is required.
Individual Plugin Pricing
Beyond the bundle, Soundtoys is offering deep discounts on individual plugins. The Effect Rack drops from $299 to $99, while industry favorites EchoBoy and Decapitator are each available for $49, down from $199.
All other plugins in the catalog, including Little AlterBoy, FilterFreak, PanMan, and Crystallizer, are priced at $39 each, reduced from their regular $99-149 price points. The sale pricing represents the company’s most aggressive annual discounts, according to forum discussions tracking previous years’ promotions.
SpaceBlender Adds New Dimension
SpaceBlender, the experimental reverb that Soundtoys added to the bundle earlier this year, uses an algorithm inspired by swarm synthesis rather than traditional feedback delay networks or convolution. The plugin allows users to morph between gate, reverse, decay, and bloom reverb shapes in real time using an interactive visualizer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YvaiZitbiCM
“Each new plugin we add to the Soundtoys collection adds creative firepower to your mixing arsenal. With the addition of the new SpaceBlender experimental reverb this year, the capabilities of the Soundtoys bundle took a huge leap forward,” said Mitch Thomas, Soundtoys senior product specialist.
Radiator Sales Fund Humanitarian Relief
Alongside the Black Friday sale, Soundtoys announced that users have donated $61,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) through purchases of its Radiator plugin.
The tube saturation plugin, inspired by the warmth and character of vintage Altec tube mixer consoles, has become a vehicle for ongoing charitable work. Soundtoys directs 100% of Radiator proceeds from direct website purchases to organizations responding to humanitarian and environmental crises.
From MSF to World Central Kitchen
Médecins Sans Frontières provides emergency medical care in more than 70 countries, delivering life-saving treatment to people affected by wars, natural disasters, epidemics, and medical service exclusion. Recent MSF efforts have focused on conflict zones including Gaza, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan.
Moving forward, all Radiator sales made at soundtoys.com after November 1, 2025, will benefit World Central Kitchen (WCK), founded by Spanish chef José Andrés. WCK delivers fresh meals to communities impacted by natural disasters, conflict, and climate emergencies, with teams currently providing relief in Jamaica, Gaza, Haiti, and other regions facing urgent needs.
“At Soundtoys, we believe in the power of music to help make the world a better place. And in that spirit, we’re committed to raising awareness and supporting human rights, the environment, and people in need,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and founder of Soundtoys.
The company has raised more than $870,000 for humanitarian and civil rights organizations over the years, including support for the International Rescue Committee, the Red Cross Society of Ukraine, the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and the Gulf Restoration Network.

The Soundtoys Black Friday sale runs through December 4, 2025, with all purchases available directly from soundtoys.com and authorized retailers including Plugin Boutique.
