Saturation Knob ((install)) | Softube's

Saturation occurs when an audio signal exceeds the maximum capacity of a device or system, causing it to compress and introduce harmonic distortion. This distortion can add a rich, warm quality to sounds, making them more pleasing to the ear. In the analog era, saturation was a common occurrence due to the limitations of tape machines, tube amplifiers, and other equipment. However, with the advent of digital recording, it became more challenging to achieve this desirable effect.

Keep Low: This mode protects the low end from distorting, focusing the saturation on the mids and highs. This is ideal for bass guitars or kick drums where you want to add "bite" and harmonic presence without turning the sub-frequencies into mush. softube's saturation knob
