Tape Saturator simulates the behavior of classic tape recorders. These machines produced a specific saturation when recording higher input levels, which led to a compressed signal with light distortion.

Tape Saturator

Tape Saturator simulates the behavior of classic tape recorders. These machines produced a specific saturation when recording higher input levels, which led to a compressed signal with light distortion.

Mode

Allows you to choose between the effect of a single tape machine (One Stage) or two cascaded tape machines (Two Stage).

Two Stage mode leads to higher saturation and compression.

Oversampling

Increases the accuracy of the effect by oversampling.

Note

If this parameter is activated, the effect requires more processing power.

Drive

Determines the level of the input signal and thus the amount of saturation.

Auto Gain

Results in automatic level compensation.

Low Filter

Allows you to adjust the low frequency range below 1000 Hz by +/- 3 dB.

High Filter

Allows you to attenuate the high frequency range. This high-cut filter works with a slope of 24 dB/octave.

Output

Determines the level of the output signal.
