Frequently Asked Questions
It subtly shapes the harmonic content, allowing you to tailor the saturation’s tone from mellow and rounded to more aggressive and edgy.
Yes, the CV inputs allow for nuanced and dynamic control of Drive and Mix, enabling creative rhythmic or evolving saturation effects.
While inspired by tube saturation, the discrete design offers a cleaner, more controlled harmonic richness – less unpredictable than a vintage tube circuit.
