Hot Sauce is a non-linear gain processing plug-in that adds harmonics to a signal while reducing peaks, similar to tape saturation or push-pull power amplifiers.

In Saturator mode, Hot Sauce applies smooth waveform compression that adds odd-order harmonic distortion, while Exciter mode adds odd-order harmonics without compressing the waveform for a brighter, more “excited” sound. Use it to thicken a source, raise average levels without the typical pumping of compressors and limiters, or add brightness – before compressors or limiters to help control transients so less compression is needed, after them to add consistent harmonic content, or as a saturation effect similar to tape compression. Hot Sauce is internally oversampled at all sample rates to keep aliasing to a minimum.

Features

• Saturator mode: smooth waveform compression with odd-order harmonics
• Exciter mode: odd-order harmonics without compression for extra brightness
• Higher average levels without the typical pumping of compressors and limiters
• Use before or after compressors and limiters or as a saturation effect
• Internal oversampling at all sample rates to minimize aliasing
