Last year vs this year
Plugin Boutique's 2025 Black Friday guide listed Output at 50% off all products, until December 1. This year Thermal is 50% off ($74.50, list $149), and Output Complete is 65% off, a bigger cut than last year's headline number. The catch is timing: last year's sale ran past Cyber Monday, this year's ends November 22.
Output Complete: everything Output sells outright
1. Output Complete Bundle — every non-subscription Output product
All of Output's non-subscription engines, effects and expansions in one bundle. The instruments are Analog Brass & Winds, Analog Strings, Substance (bass), Exhale (vocals), Signal, REV and REV X-Loops; the effects are Portal, Thermal and Movement; plus the expansion packs. The instruments run in Kontakt, including the free Kontakt Player. The FX Bundle and the Instruments Bundle together cost $449 at today's prices, $152 more than Output Complete, which also adds the instrument expansion packs.

The smaller Output bundles
2. Output Instruments Bundle — the Kontakt instruments
Exhale, Substance, Signal, Analog Strings, Analog Brass & Winds, REV and REV X-Loops. Exhale is the one I'd look at first if you produce vocals: it's built from recordings of real singers and a choir, with Notes, Loops and Slices modes and over 500 presets.

3. Output FX Bundle — Portal, Thermal and Movement
Portal is a granular effect for any input, vocals included, with time stretch and scale-locked pitch shift. Thermal is multi-stage distortion with an XY control. Movement adds rhythmic modulation to any track. Five expansion packs with over 500 presets come with it.

5. Output Thermal — the one plugin to buy alone
Thermal makes distortion easy to experiment with: 19 analog and digital distortion algorithms, band splitting, mid-side width and nine built-in effects, all steered from one XY pad. Its Ignition expansion is $17.50 until November 22.

Not discounted when I checked: Output REV+ Bundle ($228.50), Future-Vocal Bundle ($218) and Granular Synth & Effects Bundle ($176). These are Plugin Boutique's own bundles: the Future-Vocal Bundle adds iZotope's VocalSynth 2 to Exhale, and the Granular Synth & Effects Bundle pairs Portal with Audio Damage's Quanta 2.
Which Output bundle fits you?
If you write for film, TV or ads, or you want big layered sounds fast, the instruments are the core of Output, so take the Instruments Bundle or Complete. If you mostly mix and want character effects, the FX Bundle covers it. And if you'd buy both, Output Complete costs less than the two bundles together. One practical note: the instruments need disk space (Signal alone is 40 GB), so check your drive first.
Buy now or wait?
Buy before November 22 if Output is on your list. Last year Output was 50% off; this year Output Complete is 65% off, so the bundle is already cheaper than 50% off would make it ($424.50). The sale ends 5 days before Black Friday, so don't leave it for November 27. If you only want one plugin, Thermal at $74.50 is the safe pick. I'll update this page during Black Friday week.
Big sounds. Now make the vocal sit on top.
The Vocal Chain eBible collects 88 vocal chains from hit records, as the engineers described them to me: every plugin, its settings and the order it sits in. Each chain comes in two versions, one with paid plugins and one with free ones, so you know exactly what is worth buying this week.
