Audio effects node
Drive
Warm analog-style tube-and-transistor saturation with drive, bias, tone, and color controls — a gentle glow at low settings, real grit when you push it.
What it does
Drive is an audio effect: it changes the sound that flows through it. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Hit a drum mix with a few dB of Drive for extra punch and glue.
