Simple saturator for all your needs.
Simple on the Outside, sophisticated on the Inside
ToneKnob Saturator is the first plugin in our revamped and completely redesigned one-knob series. Featuring new design, and significant shift in sound. Building on our 25 years of eperience, we’ve creatively combined and set harmonic tube distortion colors of 1A Equalizer and U73B Compressor, so that with a single knob, you can achieve anything from subtle sound saturation to really wild distortion, which can create interesting sound effects.
The best Use cases of ToneKnob Saturator
Vocals
Is the vocal in your mix lackluster, missing punch, sharpness, or interesting color? Insert our Saturator into the effects chain of the vocal track right after equalization and dynamic processing, but before spatial and modulation effects, and turn the knob until you’re satisfied. Hear that? Pretty awesome, huh?
Guitars
Every guitarist knows how hard it is to capture a pleasing guitar signal like we’re used to hearing on stage or in the rehearsal room. Usually, a thin, bland signal without character gets recorded. Guitars love saturation, and perhaps guitarists will appreciate our saturator the most. Try knob positions from 25 to 50%, I think you’ll like it.
Bass Guitar
This might be new or even surprising for many of you because many bassists don’t use it unless it’s for harder styles. Saturation fundamentally helps your bass cut through the mix, highlights undefined tones, and beautifully connects (but not glue and drown) with the kick drum. Regardless of the genre. Tasteful saturation on bass sounds great in rock, pop, jazz, or romantic ballads.
Drums
Try our saturator on the drum group track with the whole mix. Turn the knob and listen to how the drums gain space, clarity, and punch. How the snare starts to cut through the mix, the overheads gain brilliance and space. But, of course, you can overdo the saturation and achieve interesting sound effects for more experimental styles.
