Hi, everyone!

I'm looking for a cheap saturation plugin, preferably with multiple modes and not iLok or app manager like IK Multimedia.

My budget is $50.

To better understand what I'm looking for, Saturator X would've been nice if it wasn't for their poor app manager, Decapitator is way above my budget. If there is something similar and with a nice sound in this price, would be nice.

I was looking at SDRR and HoRNet Tape. If you have any suggestions.

SDRR hands down. I love it. Try the free version of it before you decide. It's called IVGI.

Can't go wrong here. The free IVGI goes along way.

I was looking at Kazrog True Iron too. I'll have to give them a try, tho I'm still looking forward to your suggestions and experiences.

A vote for SDRR from me too. It's a steal!

My go-to saturators are all pretty cheap.

Klanghelm SDRR2: definitely start with this one, great balance between ease-of-use and versatility. And it's cheap, and DRM-free.

Kazrog True Iron: has a smaller window between "barely there" and "distortion" than SDRR2, but very nice for subtle effects

Fuse Audio preamps: good for a more heavy-handed application. But less versatile than SDRR and more expensive.

I guess will be SDRR2 for now since I already had SDRR2tube from PreSonus, I upgraded for cheaper. But now I'm looking for tape plugin that's cheap.

Toneboosters ReelBus 4 and ChowDSP ChowTape.

ChowTape sounds really amazing, especially since it's free! :hyper:

I agree, ChowTape is awesome. Be sure to also check out ChowMatrix and ChowPhaser, I love the sound of the latter.

Newfangled Saturate.
