Tube Saturator 2: Free VST Plugin for Warm, Rich Analog Sound

Experience the warmth and richness of analog sound with Tube Saturator 2 (TS2), a free VST plugin that meticulously emulates a tube preamp and its associated three-band Baxandall EQ. TS2 leverages advanced circuit modeling technology, converting the complex interplay of tubes, resistors, and capacitors into a precise mathematical model. This results in an incredibly accurate simulation of analog circuitry, delivering the authentic sonic character of a tube amp, without the limitations of physical hardware. Unlike its predecessor, TS2 utilizes precomputed solutions for significantly enhanced speed – the saturation section is approximately seven times faster while maintaining even higher accuracy. You can subtly boost the EQ for a warm, inviting tone or crank it up for intense distortion.
