The Tube Saturation module contains the following controls:

Saturation type. Select the desired type of tube saturation:

Type 1. Type 1 provides pure tube emulation.

Type 2. Type 2 is a dual-tube emulation. The second tube applies a special crossover filter in the high end and doesn't process high frequencies. This ensures that sibilant sounds are not distorted or sound metallic. The result is a gentler tube saturation in the higher frequencies.

Clipping LED. Shows if the input signal to the Tube Saturation module is clipping. If there is any distortion in the ProChannel signal chain, the clipping LEDs let you identify where the clipping occurs.

Tube Saturation enable/disable . Enables/disables the Tube Saturation module.

Input gain. Applies a gain adjustment to the pre-processed audio signal.

Drive. Adjust how much of the pre-processed input signal enters into saturation. The valid range is 0% (no saturation) to 100% (very saturated) and the default setting is 0%.

Output gain. Applies a final gain adjustment to the post-processed audio signal.

Tube Saturation . Shows any tube saturation activity. The icon glows when the input signal is being processed.
