The stereo unit is divided into two sections: a harmonic-generation stage and a transformer-coupled Class-A stage with a punchy, vintage tone.\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe first section features three distinct harmonic stages: transformer saturation, passive saturation\/clipping, and an active germanium circuit. Each stage not only introduces unique harmonic textures but also shapes the tone curve differently. The blend function allows precise control over the harmonic content, while an M\/S mode enables independent processing of mid and side channels. The second section is a selectable vintage transformer-coupled Class-A stage that delivers the rich, classic British sound of the 1970s. With illuminated switches and detented potentiometers, The Transformer ensures easy recall and seamless integration into any workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      At a Glance\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003eTransformer saturation circuit that adds low-end harmonics and a low-end bump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003ePassive saturation circuit that adds a lot of odd and even harmonics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003eActive germanium stage with a vintage sound and a mix of harmonics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003eClass-A stage with a pleasant British '70s sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003eM\/S function for separate processing of the mid and side channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n       \u003cli\u003eIlluminated switches and detented potentiometers for easy recall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003c\/ul\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      TX Drive\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      The first harmonic stage, TX Drive, is a transformer saturation circuit with a single control that adjusts the amount of transformer saturation while keeping the output level consistent. The circuit generates approximately 1% harmonic distortion in the low end, with a subtle presence of higher harmonics. It also introduces a slight 2 dB boost around 30 Hz. As you increase the drive, the boost and higher harmonics decrease, but the low-end harmonics remain steady at around 1%.\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      Gain\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      Following the TX Drive is a gain control, allowing you to push the subsequent Saturation and Germanium stages harder to generate more harmonics.\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      Sat (Saturation Stage)\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      The second stage is a passive saturation circuit that primarily introduces odd harmonics.
