Fat Cat is a free tube saturation and distortion plugin designed to add warmth and character to your vocals. It offers a smooth, musical harmonic distortion inspired by modern analog tube preamps, making it ideal for enhancing vocal tracks with rich, pleasing tones. Whether you want subtle coloration or more aggressive saturation, Fat Cat provides a straightforward way to shape your sound.

Starting with gentle preamp saturation, Fat Cat allows you to gradually increase the Drive control to introduce warm distortion that helps vocals stand out in a mix. When driven harder, the plugin transitions into a soft clipping mode that delivers thick and crunchy distortion, giving your vocals a bold, textured edge. This dynamic range makes it suitable for a variety of vocal styles and production needs.

The Mix knob enables blending the processed signal with the original dry vocal, allowing for parallel saturation that maintains natural clarity while adding depth. A dedicated Volume control helps manage output levels to keep your mix balanced, even as you push the saturation harder. Fat Cat’s user-friendly interface and tonal flexibility make it a valuable tool for producers aiming to enrich vocal tracks with authentic tube warmth.
