Analog-style saturation with surprising realism.
Saturation is a mixing engineer's secret weapon. Add a little to a voice and it stands out in the mix. Spread some on a drum box and suddenly it comes to life. Apply it to drum mics for an aggressive sound that will grab listeners by the ears.
Solid State Logic's X-Saturator handles all of these tasks and more deftly. It's one of the most realistic analogue modeled saturators we've ever encountered. Choose between second-order tube-style distortion, third-order transistor distortion, or mix the two to get the perfect combination of tube heat and transistor power.
Use X-Saturator delicately or take it to grotesque distortion, which can be adjusted with the Shape control or blended into the mix using the Wet/Dry knob.
Smooth and warm or biting and fierce, you've never seen a saturation plug-in like SSL X-Saturator.
