Saturation that goes loud. Multi-stage drive — clean to fuzz to fully blown — with tone shaping at the input and output and a gate that opens at the source. Subtle at one end, distortion at the other; the character holds up at both.
Drive, tone, gate, output — four controls voiced for the moment the song needs to bite. Subtle color lives in Tincture; explicit distortion lives here, for the parts where the mix needs heat.
Soft saturation to hard clipping to full fuzz on one knob — the character changes as you push.
Pre-drive tone shapes what gets saturated; post-drive tone shapes what comes out. Tame the highs or push them.
Gate at the input so quiet hiss never gets blown up. Print loud through an optional soft-limiter ceiling.
