WaveArts nailed "Analog" in the native domain like UAudio did with Moog and Fatso for the UAD.
I like the distorted Sound even more than that of the UAD Moog preamp section (which I find great)
It kind of softens harsh highs and I could make dull sounding bassheavy samples right in your face - with this analog Touch.

I would have bought it without thinking for 150$ if Tube Saturator wouldn't be THAT heavy on the CPU.
I'm on a MacBook Pro and cannot imagine to use it at the end of a heavy session - it will simply kill the CPU - maybe right from the start with freezing.

Now I'm thinking of getting an UAD-2 Solo Laptop to demo Fatso if it nearly sounds as interesting as Tube Saturator I will buy this instead or maybe get both if there's an interesting offer around.

But Tube Saturators Time will definitly come in about 1-2 years.

I tested URS Saturation last Week and SPL Twin Tube some time ago.
I tried to like URS Saturation but could not get any usefull sound out of it even when cranked it producess a grainy noisy distorted sound - nothing special. SPL Twin Tube sounded very impressive in the first place but when I lowered the volume of the processed Audio to match it with the level of the dry signal it sounded noisy and thin - too noisy and thin to pay 250€ for it.
