The Gainlab Audio Wizard Stereo Valve Saturator is a professional-grade tool designed to bring the warmth, depth, and character of analog tube sound into modern production environments. In today’s compact project and home studios, where DAWs dominate and space is limited, the Wizard offers engineers, producers, and musicians an authentic way to infuse tracks with classic analog saturation—all in a rack-friendly format.
Inspired by the highly acclaimed Tube Boost circuit used across Gainlab devices, the Wizard takes saturation to new levels with full adjustability, dynamic shaping, and tonal flexibility. Whether applied to individual instruments, group buses, or the master bus, it delivers everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to rich, saturated coloration.
Its Input, Output, and Feed controls let users fine-tune the intensity and character of saturation, while the Bias controlprovides classic tube operating adjustments. For deeper tonal shaping, the onboard three-band preset EQ and high-pass filter allow wide-ranging coloration options. Adding another layer of control, the Pressure function introduces dynamic interaction similar to vari-mu compression, ensuring the saturation adapts organically to program material.
Visual feedback comes via precise output metering, along with dedicated indicators for saturation and dynamics, making it easy to monitor exactly how the Wizard is shaping your sound.
This is more than just a saturator—it’s a versatile creative tool that can transform your workflow with unmistakable analog character.
