Looptrotter SAT 500 Series Saturator (Demo Deal)

The Looptrotter SAT 500 is a single-channel module in the 500 Series format fitted with a saturation circuit, which adds low order harmonics and smoothly evens the signal, all in an amazingly musical and ear-friendly way. It can significantly increase the RMS level. The sound refers to old tube mixing consoles and tape recorders. SAT 500 is equipped with unique solutions shaping the content of harmonics in the processed signal.

The HI SMOOTH function boost high frequencies before the saturation circuit and attenuate them after the saturation circuit. This function causes a higher saturation of high frequencies with harmonics, which causes smoothing of the signal and pleasant compression for the ear. The LO SAFE function reduces the low-frequency amplitude before the saturation circuit and boost it after the saturation circuit. This function "protects" the lowest frequencies before the fast clipping and is invaluable especially for instruments with a high content of low frequencies such as bass, kick drum, group of drums or the whole mix. The depth of saturation is smoothly controlled with the DRIVE knob. SAT 500 features an independent control over DRY and WET signal. The depth of saturation (the amount of added harmonics) is indicated by two LEDs, lighting up at 4 and 8% THD.

LOOPTROTTER SAT 500 FEATURES:

• Single-slot 500 Series saturation module for adding low order harmonics to your signal
• HI SMOOTH function boosts the high frequencies prior to the saturation circuit and attenuates them after the saturation circuit for higher saturation of high frequencies with harmonics
• LO SAFE function reduces the low-frequency amplitude before the saturation circuit and boosts it after the saturation circuit protecting the lowest frequencies before the fast clipping
• DRIVE knob evenly controls the depth of the saturation indicated by two LEDS for 4 and 8% THD
• Independent control over DRY and WET signals
