Gainlab Audio Wizard

Many Gainlab Audio users have reported that the most frequently used feature on their devices is the Tube Boost. This feedback inspired the creation of a device that provides fully adjustable tube saturation, ensuring the sound is suitable for a wide range of production scenarios.

This device is the GLA-TS1 Wizard Stereo Tube Saturator. The Input and Output controls allow users to easily adjust the saturation level to match the character of the source material and personal taste, with further refinement possible via the Feed function. Which, using the clean signal taken from the input, is capable of suppressing the clean signal content of the output signal, thereby providing additional control for setting the desired level of saturation.

As a tube-based device, it naturally includes Bias control. Notably, the Wizard offers the ability to shape the tonal character of the saturation, featuring not just a high-pass filter but a three-band preset equaliser. This unique solution enables the sound character to vary across unprecedentedly wide ranges. The device provides visual feedback on both output levels and the amount of saturation. Additionally, users can influence the dynamic aspects of the saturation using the Pressure control, which operates on the principle of vari-mu compressors and also has a dedicated indicator.
