Looptrotter SAT2RATE 2

Looptrotter SA2RATE 2

2 channel solid state saturation module, soft limiter

second generation, dual channel saturator fitted with Looptrotter’s world famous
saturation circuit. It was created to add low order harmonics and smoothly even the
signal in a musical and ear friendly way, significantly increasing the RMS level,
without raising peaks at the same time so desired in modern music production.

Upgrades include:
-TRS Instrument inputs (-10dB)
-LO Safe/ Hi Smooth THD filters
-Wet/Dry signal control

DRIVE controls the input level of the
processed signal and the depth of saturation.

PROCESS (True Bypass) allows to switch
between dry and saturated signal. The amount
of added harmonics is indicated by two LEDs,
lighting up at 4 and 8% THD.

LO SAFE option turns on the pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuit, “preventing” the
lowest frequencies from distortion. This option is specifically useful while processing
instruments with content rich in low frequencies, bass, kick drum, drum group or
the whole mix.

HI SMOOTH function boosts high frequencies before the saturation circuit and attenuates
them after. This allows higher saturation of high frequencies with harmonics, and
smoothes the signal with very subtle compression.

Independent WET and DRY signal control allows to achieve perfect blend between
processed and dry signal in chain. The module may sound very subtle, adding slight
colorization or aggressive when 100% of saturation is engaged.
