Tape Mode – Parameter Description
Contour Controls the high frequency roll-off starting frequency. Frequencies above
this point will be attenuated.
Drive Controls the low frequency boost/cut of the effect.
Tube Mode
The Tube mode emulates the smooth saturation of overdriven tube amplifiers. It is equipped
with a feedback-driven dynamic compression and an additional EQ section allowing you to fine
adjust the frequency content to be processed.

Tube Mode – Parameter Description
MAIN Section
Mode Selects between Classic, Tape, and Tube saturation modes. All other pa-
rameters vary according to the mode selected here.
Charge In Tube mode the Saturator provides a negative feedback loop that attenu-
ates the level at the Saturator’s input according to the amount of low fre-
quencies at its output. This notably prevents the bass content “polluting”
the saturation. The Charge parameter allows you to adjust the amount of
feedback. At 0 (full left) the feedback loop is disabled. Increase the
Charge value to strengthen the effect. Higher values additionally generate
an interesting compression-like effect.
Overload Boosts the low frequencies of the input signal. Used together with the
Charge parameter (see above) it provides you with a powerful tool to pro-
duce a richer, fatter sound.
Drive Adjusts the level of the input signal. This directly affects the amount of
tube distortion.
