ToneKnob Saturator v1.0.0 for Windows

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.

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.

Why will you love it?
The concept of a one-knob plugin is that it forces you, or rather allows you, to work only with your ears. You don’t have to look for setting combinations, monitor indicators, parameters, and hunt for the right ratios.You listen to the sound, and only your ear and musical sense or taste tell you when it’s right. You can remain more creative and less concerned with technicalities.

What’s Next?
If you enjoy the concept of a simple plugins with sophisticated sound as much as we do, then you can look forward to more additions and effects in the ToneKnob series soon, where we aim to bring the most commonly used studio effects and processors in a simple package. But you can also look forward to unusual and interesting effects.
