Overloud Gem SculpTube - Electronic Delivery

Product Description

BRING TUBES IN YOUR DAW

The Overloud Gem Sculptube is a processor dedicated to adding valve-produced harmonics to sounds. It creates an authentic tube coloration which goes from slightly warmed-up tones to heavy distortions.

With mild Drive settings you can recreate an authentic analog coloration to individual tracks or mixes. The Sculptube can be used to overdrive the input and recreate different kind of tube distortions, including Triode and Pentode curves. Thanks to its built-in EQ and parallel processor, it can be used to revive the tracks by adding natural harmonics in the high-end.

The Bias knob controls the amount of current through the tubes.

• At low current the tubes are under-biased and the sound is inclined to be thinner and break up easily
• At medium current settings the Sculptube distorts least, and this is the typical setting for just warming up a sound
• At high current the tubes are over-fed and the tone becomes quite fat and harmonically rich

There are 3 settings for each type of distortion:

• Program 0 (Triode) creates the typical musical effect found with triode valves, with very rich 2nd harmonic distortion, good for warming up a sound
• Program 1 (Pentode) creates a Pentode distortion, with prevailing odd harmonics, which makes the sound more aggressive while retaining that valve character
• Program 2 (Special) is obtained with a pretty unusual way of configuring the valve, which gives an extra octave at higher bias settings
