Available for download, Overloud's Gem SculpTube is software designed to give you credible, highly realistic tube-distortion in your digital, in-the-box mixes. It utilizes Overloud's fourth generation DSP technology to provide a faithful simulation of triode and pentode distortion, as well as tube-biasing control.

Three different tube configurations give you a few options when it comes to applying harmonic distortion to sounds that need it. With built-in equalization and parallel processing, this software ensures that you can further hone and tweak the timbre of a given element in your mix. All of this technology can be used to warm up individual tracks that sound too cold and sterile, or for a more drastic effect, to create searing, overdriven distortions.

On a utilitarian level, this software provides multiple steps of undo and redo, A/B comparison, meter calibration with four different sensitivities, and more.
