  • Valve stage modeled as a circuit.

  • Drive adds harmonic density with internal gain compensation.

  • Output control for final level matching.

  • Gain-compensated Drive makes A/B decisions honest.

  • 4x oversampling to keep generated harmonics clean.

Valve saturation, simplified.

Hot Glass models a valve stage as a circuit. Drive controls how hard that stage is pushed, bringing in harmonic density and bloom while internal compensation keeps the change about color rather than loudness.

Set Drive for the amount of valve character, then use Output for final level matching.

Use it on vocals, DI tracks, drums, buses, or a full mix when the signal needs more body and harmonic structure without losing its shape.
