Stacking saturations has never been this easy. Blend six distinct analogue circuits, with a plug-in as fast as the producer wielding it.
Because great tone is built in stages. In the analogue world, sound is shaped by multiple pieces of gear, each adding a small amount of colour and harmonic richness. Those layers add up to weight, depth, and character that would be impossible to achieve by overpushing a single unit. PHATurator helps you achieve that process and colour, effortlessly.
It features six completely different colours of saturation, designed obsessively over the best part of two decades working in real sessions with some of the most coveted hardware units. That experience allowed us to craft six colours that help any source feel more alive: FET, an exciting compressor-style saturator; TUBE, adding tube saturation that pushes sources forward in the mix; TAPE, bringing the glue and thickness; PUNCH, delivering the snappiness of British consoles; PHAT, a proprietary type of saturation that lifts any source, and WARMTH, bringing the creamy weight and growl of 70s style preamps.
These six algorithms deliver the feel and emotional response of the hardware: they breathe, break up, and react to your sources with the same musicality and movement the original units are famous for.
But PHATurator isn't just that. We wanted to go way beyond what is expected from saturation. Instead, we created an incredible tool that allows you to stack saturations while adding unexpected features that improve the workflow of PHATurator users. Those features include independent input and output HPF/LPF (two simple but extremely powerful ways to shape the frequency spectrum), auto-gain for easy matching, a zero-latency limiter, and global mix for instant parallel blend. PHATurator also includes three completely different modes: PHAT, our favourite mode with the perfect balance of vibe and control; PHATTER, a very aggressive mode that rebalances all processors toward more saturation; and CLEAN, for when extreme precision is required.
Combining it all, PHATurator is an essential production tool that will speed up your workflow, remove the need to reach for multiple plug-ins, and help you make creative decisions faster.
