Plugin Boutique’s exclusive “Band Month” sale offers up to 79% off on Waves Audio’s CLA Compressors series. These compressor models, created in collaboration with mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge, are available at reduced prices until April 23rd, 2026.

The CLA Compressors emulate classic hardware units used by Lord-Alge on projects with artists like Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, and Green Day. They deliver dynamic control with specific characteristics, such as fast attack from FET circuitry or smooth optical compression, directly in a DAW.

Mixing engineers and music producers use these plugins to shape tracks with professional-grade compression.

This deal matters because it reduces the cost of these industry-standard tools significantly from their regular prices.

The promotion covers these products:

  • CLA MixHub ($29.99 USD instead of $149 USD): CLA MixHub brings the rich sound of mix legend Chris Lord-Alge’s (Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day) custom 4400-series console channel strips—into your DAW.
  • CLA-3A Compressor / Limiter ($34.99 USD instead of $149 USD): Combines solid-state circuitry’s fast attack with the gentle release of optical-based compression.
  • CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter ($34.99 USD instead of $149 USD): Unlike the smooth sound of optical control-based compressors, the CLA-76 models the ultra-fast response, and tube-like distortion, of FET control circuitry.
  • CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter ($34.99 USD instead of $149 USD): Modeled from studio legend Chris Lord-Alge’s personally favorite hardware unit, CLA-2A perfectly emulates the original’s response and sound.
  • CLA Classic Compressors ($89.99 USD instead of $299 USD): CLA-2A, CLA-3A, CLA-76 Black and CLA-76 Blue.
