15.6.3 Saturator
The Saturator is a flexible tool allowing you to apply various types of saturations to your signal.
The Saturator offers three modes: Classic (legacy mode), Tape, and Tube. You can select the
desired mode via the Mode selector. Since the three modes provide different sets of parame-
ters, each of them is described separately below.

Classic Mode

overall loudness and add additional harmonics.
