Customer Reviews
Was looking for yet another vintage-esq Saturator for several Americana albums I’m currently mixing. I’ve got the 280 all over the new mixes and I’m very happy with the result! I’m already employed on drums, bass, guitar, electrics, acoustic, horns, and vocals!

This plugin is great, I love the break up that happens when driving snares and the warmth and punch it can add to kicks. Amazing plugin!
I will say this thing is a vibe, there's really not much to it, you drive the input and can mess with the Age and Drift knob which give you some slight variations. But slapping this on a drum bus, bass bus or anything does give it this velvety fat saturation with very little effort. Fun little sound to play with on the lofi songs
I love the way this thing overloads. So much blissful grit.
