BRING TUBES IN YOUR DAW

Sculptube is a processor dedicated to adding valve-produced harmonics to sounds.
It creates an authentic tube coloration which goes from slightly warmed-up tones to heavy distortions.

Hyper-realistic simulation of tube warming/distortion, thanks to the 4th generation DSP technology
Triode and Pentode simulation
Tube biasing control
Built-in EQ and parallel processing to sculpt the tone

Low CPU usage: more than 1500 instances on a Macbook Pro Retina
Multilevel undo-redo
A/B Comparison
Scribble Strips: take notes anywhere on the plugin panel
Meter Calibration: calibrate the VU meters at 4 different sensibilities

3 TUBE CONFIGURATIONS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

There are 3 settings for the type of distortion:

Program 0 (Triode) creates the typical musical effect found with triode valves, with very rich 2nd harmonic distortion, good for warming up a sound.
Program 1 (Pentode) creates a Pentode distortion, with prevailing odd harmonics, which makes the sound more aggressive while retaining that valve character.
Program 2 (Special) is obtained with a pretty unusual way of configuring the valve, which gives an extra octave at higher bias settings.

THE MAGIC OF TUBE BIASING

The Bias knob controls the amount of current through the tubes.

At low current the tubes are under-biased and the sound is inclined to be thinner and break up easily.
At medium current settings the Sculptube distorts least, and this is the typical setting for just warming up a sound.
At high current the tubes are over-fed and the tone becomes quite fat and harmonically rich.
