    It's hard to pick just three when you're a crazy plugin fanatic like me lol
    but it could be

    Fabfilter pro eq3 (I don't think I could live without it) you can use it as a compressor, as an esser, attenuate filters, etc.

    Guitar Rig 5 (i like it this version)

    FabFilter Timeless 2

    And if I had to outlive a single manufacturer, it would be Fabfilter without a doubt.

    Pro-R and Timeless seem a little heavy to me so I will use Logic Space Designer, Chromaverb, Delay Designer, or Valhalla. Otherwise everything is FF for the most part.

    The sad thing is I've probably only tried 1% of all the plugins I've downloaded so I couldn't possibly offer an opinion.
