Overview

Circuit-modelled tube warmth and drive.

Tube Saturator 2 is a circuit simulation of a tube preamp with analog EQ, modeling the behavior of real tube circuitry for warming or distortion. It provides two common-cathode preamp stages with selectable 12AX7 and 12AU7 tube models and a Baxandall 3-band EQ that can sit before or after saturation. A 2x oversampling mode reduces aliasing, with wet/dry mix and operation up to 192 kHz.
