Three Tube Circuits From Warmth to Drive

Tubetizer includes three tube saturation circuits. Kiive Audio presents them as a range, from subtle warmth at the gentle end to aggressive distortion at the other.

The circuits let you match the amount of saturation to the source. A light setting can add harmonic color to a bass or a vocal, while a stronger setting suits parts that need grit or edge.

Shaping Tone With Type, Tone and Mode Controls

Type, Tone and Mode are the main controls for shaping the result. Kiive Audio says they give precise tonal control, so you can adjust how the saturation sits in the frequency spectrum.

Because the compression is built in, you can control dynamics in the same plugin as the coloration, which keeps the signal chain shorter when you want a saturated, cohesive sound on a single channel.
