Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a simulation, so it won’t replicate the nuances of a real tube circuit, but it adds a usable warmth and subtle harmonic distortion.
Yes, it has separate male/female voice settings, but you'll likely need to fine-tune the threshold for optimal results on different vocal ranges.
Absolutely, the expander/gate functionality is quite effective for taming drum bleed and creating punchy rhythms, though you'll need to experiment with the release time.
