Controls
NORMAL.
It engages the clean/crunch
tones. Two switches are linked to the
Normal channel: the bright/normal
switch gives you a boost on the high
end part of the spectrum; instead the
crunch/clean introduces distortion from
barely audible to full raw depending on
the PREAMP setting.
OVERDRIVE.
It selects the hi-gain
channel. This is the sound the original
hardware is known for, from light
crunch to full blown madness.
PREAMP.
This knob adjusts the amount
of gain of the selected channel.
TONE-STACK.
Simply Bass, Mid, Treble as
you would expect on a great amp.
There is one tone-stack for each
channel.
CHANNEL OUTPUT.
Here is where the
magic comes in. Not only the OUTPUT
can be used to tweak the general
volume but also serves as a tone
shaper of the general frequency
response: higher OUTPUT settings
enhance the character of the distortion
on the top end. Keep it low to get silky
tones, raise it to get presence and
thickness.
INPUT [dB].
This knob adjusts the amount
of signal entering the plugin and it can
be used as a clean boost before the
preamp. The INPUT LEVEL meter displays
the amount of signal in input and it is
directly affected by this knob.
OUTPUT [dB].
This is a clean volume
knob on the general output of the
plugin. Use this control to properly feed
the next plugin in the chain without
affecting the tone of SaturnLO. The
general output level is displayed by the
OUTPUT LEVEL meter.
LOAD/SAVE.
The LOAD button opens a
window to select a previously saved
preset – this includes knobs, buttons,
switches, SIZE, TWEAK and SET settings –.
The SAVE button allows to save a file
containing the current settings of the
plugin.
