Classic Mode – Parameter

Description

Contour

Determines how closely the Saturator responds to the input

volume. Higher values create a more distorted sound.

Drive

Adjusts the amount of distortion introduced by the Saturator.

Tape Mode

The Tape mode emulates the soft compression and pleasant saturation induced by recording to

analogue magnetic tapes. It can be used lightly to add warmth and coloring to the sound, or

heavily to add aggressive distortion.
