- Built-in drive and saturation controls, from warm, thick tones to bold, gritty overdrive.
- Provides microphone distance and width parameters to shape stereo space from close-in to room ambience.
- Supports mono and stereo use, convenient for bus or parallel processing and wet/dry blending.

Supported Applications and Workflow Integration
Operates in common DAWs that support AAX, AU, or VST3, usable as an insert or bus effect, and can also be used in parallel via send/return. Key parameters (such as rotation speed, acceleration/deceleration, drive, and wet/dry mix) can be automated by the DAW for easy section changes and dynamic expression; presets can be saved with the project, supporting standard workflows for offline export and real-time playback.
