get loads of tone-shaping in a handy
straightforward way. No matter what
kind of tone you are trying to achieve –
pop, blues, rock, metal – SaturnLO will
get you there. If you want to obtain
that rich, dynamic, fully saturated yet
pristine gain, then you are definitely
looking at the right place!
For the very first time in the boundless

Non-Plus-Ultra Preamp
Non-Plus-Ultra Preamp represents the
perfect approach to circuit modeling.
SaturnLO preamp features a built-from-
scratch 64-bit engine which is based on
general purpose hi-quality algorithms
and the most recent non-linear models.
Particular attention has been put on
the definition of the Non-Linear Solver
to get the maximum quality and
realism, without losing details in favor of
performances (Double-Precision Non-
Linear Computing).
Also, SaturnLO brings a completely new
philosophy to the table: being able to

Before describing our solution, let's talk
about what everyone else does: the
commonly spread approach of the
"single IR" to reproduce a cabinet is
nothing more than a digital clean
equalizer. Which means: non-linearities
are not reproduced at all. Competitors

introduce harmonic distortion, but they
totally omit the non-linearities coming
from the speaker, the microphone and
the mic preamp. While these can be
considered somehow negligible for
some types of high wattage speakers
when dealing high gain sounds, it is
essential when the speaker breaks up.
Furthermore,
sometimes
power amps are used to sample
cabinet, speakers and mikes, but these
power amps, despite being considered
"neutral", have their own "footprints"
due to the different impedance, so the
