Features
- Hardware-Accurate Saturation Behavior Every control affects the whole system, so tone, dynamics, and harmonics interact like real analog hardware.
- Musical, Responsive Harmonics Harmonics evolve naturally with signal level—never static—preserving realistic density, tone, and transient shape.
- Drive Control Based on a True Tube Stage Increasing Drive pushes an accurate 6BC8 tube model, producing controlled transient rounding, harmonic weight, and authentic tube glow.
- Switchable Output Transformer Engaging the transformer completes the analog chain, emphasizing odd-order harmonics for added punch, focus, and solidity.
- Tube Bias (Calibration) Control Adjusts the tube’s bias point to blend in even-order harmonics, allowing precise shaping from clean focus to warm contour.
- Advanced Input Shaping Controls Low-end crossover preserves bass clarity, while tilt and high-shelf filters let you choose which frequencies drive the tube harder for targeted coloration.
- Real-Time Circuit Modeling The entire Relab 176 tube stage (input transformer, 6BC8 tube, bias, output transformer) is solved as one continuous circuit, not stacked algorithms.
