puffer:fish is a free saturation plugin made to encourage play, curiosity, and bold ideas. In a way, it is a lot like the sonible team itself: serious about sound quality, with plenty of room for a good laugh along the way.
We’ve created puffer:fish to bring playfulness back into the mixing workflow, because not every creative moment needs reason and severity. Sometimes creative minds just want to push things and see what happens. Despite its lighthearted approach, puffer:fish delivers the same great sound standards we are known for.
Saturation with attitude
puffer:fish features just two controls:
Puffiness determines how much pressure is applied to the sound. Turn it up and the signal inflates, becoming denser, richer, and more saturated.
Character offers three sound options. Just select a fish to define the saturation character.
Tinyfin
The sonic equivalent of floating. Only soft ripples and cozy warmth.

Tinyfin is all about gentle saturation that adds warmth, depth, and sonic richness. On a technical level, it introduces soft harmonics that thicken the signal and enhance perceived loudness, all while staying musical and controlled.
Spikeskin
Like diving into the deep end. Bites back fast and hard.

Spikeskin does not believe in subtlety. It brings bold, edgy energy to your sound. Designed for moments when clean feels a little too polite, Spikeskin pushes saturation into gritty, expressive distortion.
Twitchgill
Starts in warm waters. Ends in the abyss screaming.
Twitchgill starts warm, but the harder you push it, the more unpredictable things become. This is where saturation turns into character and personality starts to
show.
