Overdrive

Saturation
Apple

Overdrive is a saturation effect that emulates the warm distortion produced by field effect transistor (FET) amplifiers, commonly used in solid-state musical instrument amplifiers and hardware effects devices. It generates warmer-sounding distortion than bipolar transistor-based alternatives, making it ideal for adding colored saturation to tracks while maintaining musical character.

  • Drive knob for saturation amount control
  • Tone knob with high-cut filter for softer tonal shaping
  • Output level control
  • Level Compensation button to reference processing to 0 dB
