Overview

Real tube saturation, distilled.

Relab Color Drive is a saturation plugin built from the 176's variable-gain tube stage, including input transformer, 6BC8 tube, calibration bias and output transformer. The whole analog circuit is solved in real time as one interconnected system rather than stacked algorithms. Its architecture is designed to accept future color-pack circuits as new hardware models arrive.

Highlights

Real-time full-circuit tube saturation
Drive control pushing the 6BC8 tube stage
Switchable output transformer for odd-order harmonics
Calibration bias for even-order harmonics
Low-end crossover to keep bass clean
Pre and post tilt and high-shelf shaping
