PSP Saturator

Multiple distortion models for analog saturation

Load it on vocals or a drum bus. Dial in around 30% intensity. Enjoy effortless analog vibe. The unit is designed to emulate a complete analog circuit that introduce saturation along the signal path, from tape saturation to tube saturation, diode saturation, and soft clipping saturation. This means at high levels, the saturation can become unpleasant distortion (unless that’s your goal). The unit has separate controls for low and high frequency saturation. The low frequency unit (on the left) introduces filtered harmonics to emphasize bass, while the high frequency unit (on the right) introduces tape compression to roll off the highs while adding some grit with soft clipping. In the middle are the mode selector (“Shape”) and the intensity (“Saturation”) *****. You can choose between three different tube style saturation models (soft, medium, hard/overdriven), two tape models (warm/vintage, modern), a novel “Ram horn” shape saturation curve, soft clipping, and hard clipping. At the bottom are the usual input, output, and mix controls, as well as convenience controls like gains link, bypass, and built-in soft-knee limiter (0 dBfs). There are additional controls for the tweakers out there. Overall, a very accessible plugin and quick workflow for adding analog saturation to your DAW project. I got this on sale for $25. It sounds great. Easier to use than other dual band saturation plugins.

One of the best saturators ever

PSP always makes great plugins, and this one is no exception. If you're looking for something like Warm/Tape saturation, this is definitely the one for you.

Beautiful top and bottom end

Haven't found anything else that sounds quite like this with the soft top end and the thick lows
