Pampurfe

Pampurfe is a plugin based on the concept of "overdrive", emulating saturated tube amps. Not less than 10 different overdrive algorithms are available.

Because overdrive makes the sound louder, Pampurfe is assorted with a special gain compensation function. It corrects automatically the output loudness to make it sound at the same volume as the input. This is particularly useful on percussive instruments, because the dynamics are kept. You can even over-exagerate the correction to increase the effect on dynamics. Thus the system behaves a bit like an expander.

Then the distorted sound is optionally filtered with a 8-pole low-pass filter with a variable slope. This is helpful to remove the extra harshness introduced by the distortion. Tuned to the max, the filter becomes resonant.

Pampurfe is designed to work on mono and stereo signals. Get Pampurfe and test it to see what it can actually do for you!
