Asymmetric tube saturation emulation. Produces warm, even-harmonic distortion characteristic of vacuum tubes.
Vacuum tubes naturally produce asymmetric clipping, which generates even-order harmonics (2nd, 4th, etc.) in addition to odd harmonics. This is widely considered to produce a warmer, more musical distortion compared to symmetric clipping. The bias parameter controls this asymmetry.
Bypasses the module processing when activated (ON).
Audio input flow(s).
Audio output flow(s).
Amount of gain applied before saturation. Higher values push the signal harder into the tube emulation, producing more harmonics and compression.
Asymmetry of the saturation curve. Adds a DC offset before the nonlinearity to generate even harmonics typical of tube circuits. At 0 the saturation is symmetric; higher values increase the asymmetry.
Low-pass filter applied after saturation. Lower values cut more high frequencies for a warmer, darker sound. At maximum the full frequency spectrum passes through.
Dry/wet blend. At 0 the output is the unprocessed input signal; at 1 the output is fully saturated.
