ELEGANTE
ELEGANTE is a zero-latency, CPU-light saturation and utility plugin that can be used for mixing, tracking and creative duties.
Loosely inspired by the classic TS-style overdrive, this plugin is built around an original circuit that captures the legendary mid warmth and amp-pushing feel. From there, it goes further with expanded controls for deeper tone shaping, flexible EQ, pre and post filtering, polarity flip, and precise high pass and low pass filters. The result is a guitar overdrive with true TS soul that also shines as a creative mixing tool for tracking and sound design. Classic character with modern versatility.
MAIN INTERFACE
- DIST controls the amount of saturation injected in the signal.
- TONE controls a clever tilt/LPF with variable Q to shape the EQ of the source before saturation.
- LEVEL boosts or reduces the volume post saturation stage.
- BARK adds some "bark-y" mid range, to make every source feel more in your face.
- INPUT controls the signal coming into the effect and OUTPUT controls the signal coming out of the effect.
- POWER TOGGLE toggles the effect on and off.
ADVANCED PANEL
- MONO / DUAL MONO / STEREO changes behaviour based on the track format. Mono instance: the MONO button is shown but it's disabled, because there is no option available. Stereo instance (2 channels), you may select between: DUAL MONO, where left and right channels are processed independently - or STEREO, where both channels are linked and the limiter will apply the same gain reduction, helping keep the stereo image stable.
- LIMITER MODE (OFF / SAFE / AGGRO) is a post-clamp lightweight but mega powerful post-output limiter to avoid final clipping (-0.003 dB final clip). Use SAFE for transparent control, AGGRO for fast peak control.
- PH toggles the polarity. The button shows "PH 0" for normal polarity or "PH 180" for reverse polarity (180°).
- FILTERS toggles the position of HPF and LPF in the signal chain. The button shows "FILTERS: PRE" to indicate that the HPF andLPF are processed before the pedal, or "FILTERS: POST" to indicate that the HPF and LPF are processed after the pedal.
- MIX controls the mix between the dry signal and the processed signal.
- TIME OFFSET applies a micro-delay (0 to 6ms) to the processed sound. This allows you to time-align the wet and dry paths, ensuring optimal phase coherency when blending them together with the MIX control.
- HPF adjusts the cutoff frequency of the HPF. The range is 20Hz to 2,000Hz.
- LPF adjusts the cutoff frequency of the LPF. The range is 2,000Hz to 20,000Hz.
