BPB Saturator Plus
Key Features
- Three saturation modes cover sharper tube drive, smoother tape color, and a rounder diode circuit
- Mix control supports parallel saturation directly inside the plugin without an extra bus
- High-pass and low-pass filters shape the saturated tone across a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range
- Input and output gain controls make it easy to push harmonics while matching levels
- Optimized lightweight engine is designed for low CPU use across multiple mix channels
- Resizable interface includes instant 4K scaling for high-resolution displays
- 64-bit VST3 and AU builds cover modern Windows and macOS plugin hosts
Description
BPB Saturator Plus is an analog-style saturation plugin for adding tube, tape, or diode color to tracks and buses. It updates the original BPB Saturator with a third saturation circuit, a dry/wet mix control, cleaner performance, and a simpler 64-bit Windows and macOS format set.
The plugin is built around fast tone shaping rather than deep multiband design. Tube mode brings sharper drive, tape mode smooths transients with softer compression-like color, and the new diode mode gives synths, basses, drums, and buses a rounder harmonic glow.
A mix control makes parallel saturation immediate, so heavy drive can sit under the original signal without extra routing. High-pass and low-pass filters from 20 Hz to 20 kHz help focus the harmonic grit, trim rumble, or keep bright saturation from turning harsh.
The refreshed build also removes heavier interface elements from the earlier version, which helps it load faster and feel more responsive. The resizable interface still includes instant 4K scaling, making BPB Saturator Plus useful as a quick insert across a full mix as well as a focused color tool for individual sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is BPB Saturator Plus different from the original BPB Saturator?
BPB Saturator Plus keeps the original tube and tape saturation modes, filters, low CPU focus, and resizable interface. The Plus version adds a diode saturation mode, a mix control for parallel processing, and internal performance changes that make the plugin load faster and feel more responsive.
What does the diode saturation mode add?
The diode mode is described by the developer as smoother and rounder than the tube mode. It is intended for adding gentle harmonic weight to synths, bass, and sources that need analog-style glow without as much transient edge.
Can BPB Saturator Plus work on mix buses?
Yes. The mix control lets you drive the saturation circuit harder while blending back the clean signal, which is useful for drum buses and subtle mix-bus color. The filters can also keep low-end buildup and high-end harshness under control.
Why does the download go to Gumroad?
Bedroom Producers Blog distributes BPB Saturator Plus through its official Gumroad product page at a name-your-price $0+ price. New SoundShockAudio product entries use that developer-controlled external page instead of mirroring the plugin file.
