THE LITTLE RADIATOR CONTROL PANEL
Little Radiator — Version 5
Figure 2:
Little Radiator’s Control Panel
The Heat control of Little Radiator determines the gain of the signal
entering Little Radiator’s (virtual) circuit path. As gain (or Heat) is
increased, saturation will increase accordingly along with output level.
This control determines the amount of drive into Little Radiator’s
tube saturation stage, creating harmonic distortion as the control is
increased.

One major addition to Little Radiator vs. the original hardware is the
Mix control. This allows the unprocessed (dry) signal to be mixed in with
the processed (wet) signal. The 0% to 100% range corresponds to the
output level percentage of the processed audio. The Mix control allows
for parallel processing to occur directly within Little Radiator without
the need for external bussing.
