Features

Puff and play saturation

Smooth. Warm. Friendly.

Tinyfin – the nice kind of saturation

Tinyfin keeps things together when a track already feels good but needs a little more body. It is all about subtle saturation that adds warmth, depth, and sonic richness without drawing attention to itself.

On a technical level, Tinyfin introduces gentle harmonics that thicken the signal and enhance perceived loudness while staying musical and controlled. On a creative level, it is the character you reach for when you want your sound to feel more alive, more confident, and more finished.

Tinyfin works beautifully on vocals, pads, guitars, keys, and buses where you want cohesion rather than aggression. It does not shout. It supports.

Loud. Edgy. Reactive.

Spikeskin – distortion at riot level

Spikeskin does not believe in subtlety. It brings bold, edgy energy to your sound. Designed for moments when clean feels a little too polite, Spikeskin pushes saturation into gritty, expressive distortion.

Harmonics stack fast, transients get sharper, and the sound becomes raw, gritty, and aggressive. Spikeskin is about attitude. It is about impact. About forcing sound close to the edge end loving the thrill.

Perfect for drums that need to hit harder, basses that need to snarl, synths that need to scream, or any sound that should feel dangerous. This is not about fixing but about expression.

Buzzing. Textured. Unpredictable

Twitchgill – unhinged by design

Twitchgill lives in the space between control and chaos. It starts warm, but the harder you push it, the more unpredictable things become. This is where saturation turns into character and personality starts to show.

Twitchgill adds harmonics that react dynamically to the input signal, creating movement, grit, and edge. At lower settings it can add life and presence. Push it further and the sound begins to twist, buzz, and bite back.

This character is made for experimentation. Drums, basses, synths, loops, and sound design all come alive when Twitchgill is in charge. It rewards curiosity and invites you to keep turning the knob just a little more.

Nothing fishy going on. Just great sounding saturation you can play with all day for free.
