3 of my favorite saturation plugins: True Iron by has some awesome emulations of line transformers and a pretty straightforward UI making a great tool for a quick touch up, the HG-2 by is probably my all time favorite software tube processor because of its flexibility and just amazing sound overall, and then The Oven by , which has been the first tube saturation plugin in a while to make me consider using something other than the HG-2 on my mixbus. Plus, I'm a sucker for cooking metaphors in mixing.

Volcano 3 by is hands down my favorite filter plug out there. Super intuitive GUI, tons of filter models, and by far the most flexible I've found in terms of shaping creative filter effects, with lots of modulation options to make your tracks come alive.
