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 (consisting of the individual
resistors, capacitors, tubes, and so on) 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 at this time.
A fast computer is highly recommended to run the plug-in. 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 youfd 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 youfd 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.
