Parallel Aggressor is a parallel processing compressor and saturation plugin that splits audio into three equal parallel signals—Dry, Spank (heavily compressed), and Heat (heavily saturated)—allowing you to blend them together for additive punch and presence. It delivers a big mix sound by processing multiple copies of the same track with focused, aggressive processing rather than over-processing a single signal.
