Good to know

FAQ
Do I need the SATUR-8/24 to use it?
No. Looptrotter says it can also be used on the INSERT sockets of an analog mixer, with another summing unit, or between preamps and converters.
What does saturation do?
It adds low-order harmonics and gently evens out peaks, which makes tracks sound warmer, denser and louder.
