About this tool

The stages run in a fixed order — gain first, then drive (soft-clip saturation that adds warmth or grit at higher settings), then a tone low-pass filter that softens high frequencies. Toggle a stage off to A/B whether it's doing what you expect before committing to it in a real mix.

Change the settings and press Play again to hear the difference: the effect is applied afresh from your original file each time, and Download saves it with the current settings.
