GClip has become a part of my every day arsenal. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a straightforward, easy-to-use clipper. The installation was painless and only took a few minutes. I cannot recommend this product enough if you are looking for a bargain transparent clipper for your every day. GClip has long been a popular VST plug-in and is now available in the excellent Rack Extension format. It offers straightforward signal clipping with an optional, configurable soft-knee. Oversampling can also be enabled if required. Digital distortion - Simply boost and clip hard to create harsh, digital distortion.

The Soft_Clipper effect written by Shwa is another hidden gem in the JS effects bundle and one I use a lot in mixing rock music.
A soft clipper takes the loudest peaks and rounds them off. Often this is a more effective way of increasing loudness than a brickwall limiter, it doesn’t pump!
Pushing it hard can cause distortion but when clipping off a couple dB either on a master or individual tracks it can be very transparent. Hiren boot cd full version.
The JS soft_clipper has only two controls:
Boost increases the input up to 9dB
Output brickwall is the ceiling or absolute max output level which can be set from -3 and +1 dBFS

You can use this on your master bus either before or in place of a brickwall limiter. I find it very useful on kick and snare tracks where I need them to be loud but not actually take up headroom.
