Tube Saturator is the world.s most accurate real time tube amp plug-in. Unlike
other tube simulators, which use radically simplified models, Tube Saturator
uses state of the art circuit simulation technology to capture every nuance of
an analog circuit. With circuit simulation, the analog schematic completely
defines the signal processing. The schematic is converted into a system of
non-linear differential equations which is solved at each sampling period, in
realtime. That.s mathematical talk for .it sounds exactly like the analog
circuit..

The circuit simulation technology is extremely CPU intensive, and hence we are
only able to simulate very simple circuits. Tube Saturator is in fact a basic
circuit consisting of a Baxandall type three-band EQ feeding two 12AX7 triode
preamp stages. It.s similar to preamp stages you.d find in a guitar amp, but
it is by no means a complete guitar amplifier model, that would be way too
expensive to simulate even with today.s fast CPUs. However, it is extremely
accurate, and hence you can get the same distortion and tonal characteristics
that you.d expect from a real tube preamp.

Use Tube Saturator to add a bit of analog warmth to recordings, or increase
the drive for some distortion. You can use it as a saturating peak limiter
too.

Increasing the Drive control increases the (digital) input gain while
decreasing the (digital) output gain, so you can easily adjust distortion
levels. The FAT switch changes the bias circuit of the first preamp stage to
increase gain.
