The Tube Driver
From subtle Saturation to new Levels of Distortion
Harmonics means more. More is good.
We like to drive things. Distortion introduces excitement, a certain form of compression, brings out nuances of sound that would otherwise gone unnoticed - and tube stages have always attracted engineers for their wooly blending of 2nd and 3rd order harmonics.
This unit rounds off transients in a mix, brings out hair on your busses, and has become our favourite toy when it comes to redefining all of your sounds you throw at it.
Your synth and loop library will never be the same!
Watch your Input
The DRIVE and BOOST control accommodate a wide range of signal levels, giving you a fine control over the achieved distortion amount, while the input filter prevents low frequency content from over-stimulating the tube in the first place - get exactly the sound of distortion you want!
... 2 x 2 x 3 ...
Two JJ ECC81 double triode valves create that magic blend of harmonics, musical compression and unobtrusive increase of loudness that real tube saturation is so loved for...
transform your sounds from "good" to "perfect" or from "boring" to "WTF?!?"
... and out
Remove any harshness with the post-tube HiCut filter, and shape the final result with BLEND and LEVEL control - from pure distortion applications to slight blending, anything goes.
