TesslaSE mkII – an Analog Saturation & Stereo Widening Effect

The TesslaSE mkII, released by Variety of Sound, is a subtle yet powerful tool that brings analog saturation and stereo widening effects into the digital realm.
This plugin, not intended as a distortion tool, is designed to slightly color the sound, polish transients, and create depth and dimension in the stereo field. The 2021 update enhances its usability with a modernized interface, reworked internal gain staging for ease of operation, and updated transformer/tube circuit modeling.
Available as freeware for Windows in both 32 and 64-bit VST formats, TesslaSE mkII is praised for its low CPU profile and near-zero latency, making it a valuable asset in digital mixing.
