Woodman’s Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio has announced the release of a real tube emulated saturation effect that offers some extra features.

WoodValvet features

  • 3 tube stages each with their own “Drive” control.
  • Each stage can be set to a different tube type (ECC82, EL34, …).
  • Stage 2 & 3 can be set in series or in parallel to create different harmonics.
  • Stage 1 & 2 are class A circuits, stage 3 is a class AB circuit.
  • Input band filter for adding harmonics on selected band only.
  • Post tube out lowpass filter for reducing higher harmonics.
  • Extra control to change the tube bias of stage 2, yielding different harmonics.
  • “Constant Level” setting matches the output level with the input level.
  • LFO to modulate the drive and filter settings.
  • Sidechain input can modulate the drive settings (increase or duck mode).
  • “Auto Gain Input” mode to automatically bring quiet signals into range.
  • Stereo spread control.
  • Brick-wall limiter on output.
  • DC blocking output filter.
  • Output phase switch.
  • Inserted on a multi-channel bus (surround, 3D), each channel has a weight controlling the drive settings.
  • Visual representation of the generated harmonics.

WoodValvet for macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) is priced $49.99 USD, while the iOS version is priced $13.99 at the App Store.
