www.digitalfishphones.com ... just don't make the compressor work, and push the saturation only ...

In my folder:

TLs Saturated Driver
Muon Mdrive
GVST Gclip

all different, TL is my fav.

I'll add Christortion to that list (although I haven't utilised it yet).

Tls is my favourite of the free ones as well (and only topped by tapebus on the commercial side).

Tapebus and TLs Saturated Driver are pretty much the only ones I ever use, but those two others are excellent as well (if maybe rather utilitarian).

Just tried Christortion ! Great !
Best Clip i ever tried was Creamwares standart saturation thing; then comes Sony Inflator on PoCo
(original and nice but overrated).

Ahh, and forgot one: the new Camel Crusher, now freeware. Just switch everything off and use only 5-10 percent of tube...sounds extremly good IMO.

I'll second that. Its a good saturation circuit.

Press 'complex' and you get 2 sat circuits (I think)

Also, the Domonion fish phones plug can be used as a saturator (with control over knee and dynamism) if you just crank the input gain and overload it.

sorry to always trail you on these posts, but I forgot to praise that one too! The compressor/booster thingy is very usable as well.

I shall have to try to utilise this little gem a bit more from now on.

Though not "saturation" by definition, you might find the sound you want with this old thing:

Get it here, free.

Or don't, see if I care.
