SA2RATE 2 delivers enhanced sonic character through its renowned solid state saturation circuit, which adds rich low order harmonics and smooths out audio signals in a musical and pleasing manner. This plugin allows you to raise your overall loudness without increasing peak levels, avoiding common issues like overcompression and limiting artifacts. The result is a warm analog feel that enriches your mixes while maintaining clarity and balance.

Designed with custom saturation circuits, SA2RATE 2 addresses challenges typically encountered with oversaturation. Its 'LO Safe' feature protects low-frequency content from distortion by applying specialized pre-emphasis and de-emphasis processing, preserving the power and definition of kick drums, bass, and mix buses. Meanwhile, the 'HI Smooth' function carefully manages high frequencies by enhancing and then attenuating them around the saturation stage, delivering deeper saturation and improved transient control without introducing harshness.

Beyond faithfully emulating the original hardware, SA2RATE 2 includes exclusive digital enhancements such as adjustable filter center frequencies, a 'Magic' feature that opens and warms the entire mix, and advanced stereo imaging tools like Mono Maker and Stereo Width. The plugin features Brainworx's patented Tolerance Modeling Technology to recreate authentic analog channel variations, adding realism and depth. With intuitive controls for drive, wet/dry blending, and a scalable interface, SA2RATE 2 enables precise shaping of saturation effects from subtle coloration to bold warmth.
