Kilnglow

Warm glass that breathes as you play.

Valve-style asymmetric drive rich in even harmonics; the bias sags with playing level for a touch-sensitive bloom.

How it is made

Original sOURnd design blending general techniques: a biased (asymmetric) tanh stage, an envelope follower that shifts bias and eases gain with level, envelope-driven auto gain compensation, coupling high-pass, DC blocking, post low-pass and 2x oversampling.
