Nylon is a saturation plugin from Three-Body Technology that adds subtle harmonic color through two modes: Yellow for shimmering highs and Green for rich low-end saturation.
Nylon is part of the Deep Vintage Suite and is built around a circuit-inspired transparent overdrive. Rather than pushing a signal hard, it adds gentle harmonic content that keeps clarity intact while introducing warmth. The developer's neural modeling approach, powered by APNN 2.0, aims to capture the tonal and dynamic character of the original hardware. The result is a tool for producers who want analog color on individual tracks or across a mix bus without losing detail.
Nylon offers two coloration modes. Yellow mainly generates harmonics at high frequencies, producing a bright, polished shine that suits leads and top-end detail.
Green mainly adds saturation at low frequencies, making bass, kick drums and drum buses feel fuller and more aggressive. Because both modes are transparent overdrive effects, they add harmonic content without the heavy squash typical of many saturators.
Nylon belongs to the Deep Vintage Suite, a set of hardware simulation plugins. The developer says Deep Vintage aims to reproduce the overall sonic character of vintage gear rather than only a frequency response.
Nylon is powered by APNN 2.0, a neural network the developer trained on hardware input and output so it can learn how the hardware changes audio in both waveform and spectrum. Nylon also includes controls for mono mode, LR/MS processing, phase invert, A/B switching and undo/redo, plus a level meter for input and output.
