Kiln · Tube warmth
Kiln
Cone
Heat, measured.
Tube saturation with the controls of real hardware: four preamps, up to four tubes, bias, sag, and the slight mismatch between channels. Warmth reads out in firing cones.

The namePotters read a kiln's heat from pyrometric cones that bend at a set temperature.
What it does
Four preamps
Studio is polite, Vintage dark and fat, Console tight and punchy, Hot edgy and aggressive.
One to four tubes
Stages in series. More tubes, denser saturation, at the same level.
Bias and Sag
Even or odd harmonics, and the power-supply squash of a loud passage.
Colour, not volume
Auto matches the output to the input so you judge the warmth, not the gain.
