Peak-preserving per-band saturation — drive adds harmonics and density without burying the signal — plus drift, feedback that leans toward self-oscillation, and a mono-compatible widener. Loud, alive, and never small.
Dial in low-end weight, midrange grit, and top-end sheen separately, each with its own character.
Each band picks its own saturation model — tube, transistor, and more — with several character variants per model, from gentle warmth to full fuzz.
A slow LFO breathes the drive over seconds, so a static setting stays subtly alive instead of sitting frozen.
Push feedback toward a bounded, saturated self-oscillation, and widen even mono sources with a delay-derived, mono-compatible side signal.
