6 Authentic Saturation Models
At the heart of Valvekult V3 lies our neural-captured tube circuitry offering six distinct saturation characters. From the warm, subtle harmonics of Triode mode to the aggressive bite of Pentode configurations.
- Triode Mode (T) — Smooth, musical warmth
- Pentode 1 (P1) — Punchy mid-range presence
- Pentode 2 (P2) — Aggressive harmonic content
- Overdrive Variants — Push each mode into saturation
Precision Output & Filter Control
Fine-tune your sound with comprehensive gain staging controls and surgical filtering options. Shape your tone before and after the saturation stage for complete creative control.
- Input/Output Trim — Precise level matching
- High-Pass Filter — 20Hz to 5kHz pre-processing
- Low-Pass Filter — 8kHz to 20kHz post-processing
- Dry Mix — Parallel processing blend
Professional Preset Library
Get started instantly with our curated collection of professional presets. From subtle warming to aggressive distortion, find the perfect starting point for any source material.
- Drums & Percussion — Add punch and presence
- Bass & Synths — Warmth and harmonics
- Guitars & Keys — Vintage character
- Mix Bus — Glue and cohesion
Topology
The Richness of Thermionic Tubes
Nothing matches the musical enhancement of genuine tube harmonics. From gentle warmth to overdriven fury—like a 200-watt stack pushed to its limits—our topology delivers the full spectrum of valve coloration.
Push it. Experiment. Make it sing.
Intelligent Auto-Oversampling
Our neural models are trained at 96kHz to capture the full spectrum of analog behavior. When your session runs at 44.1kHz or 48kHz, Valvekult V3 automatically engages 2x oversampling to ensure the neural model operates at its native sample rate.
What Producers Say
Very impressive.. it adds sonic richness and analog flavor too..anything ..it gives you an impression that you're using the real hardware! Good Work this plugin deserves an award!
This is an amazing plug-in its subtle not too harsh just right giving a good balance and blend.
Wow I just got your new ValveKult and it is freaking awesome. Love your other plug-ins too but there's something extra cool about this one totally feels like the audio is running through physical gear. Thank you Tone Empire👍

Features & Controls
Control the input gain/drive to the valve processing. This is your main control for how hard you're hitting the tubes, allowing you to go from subtle warmth to full saturation.
This is the control for output attenuation after the valve processing. Use it to manage your levels after adding tube coloration.
Choose from T, P1, P2 tube modes which represent the triode, pentode1 and pentode2 configurations. Go from musical enhancement to absolute distortion with authentic tube characteristics.
This switch enables the overdriven models we captured from the original hardware in overdrive mode for all 3 configurations. Push your sound into rich harmonic saturation.
Fine-tune your input signal gain before processing and trim the final output after the filters and dry mix for precise level control.
LowPass Filter (2kHz to 20kHz) is applied post-processing to control upper harmonics. HighPass Filter (20Hz to 2kHz) is applied pre-processing to manage low-end content.
Add the original unprocessed signal for parallel processing. Auto oversampling intelligently engages 2x oversampling at 44.1kHz/48kHz sessions to ensure optimal quality and minimized aliasing artifacts.
Instantly compare your processed signal with the dry original using the built-in A/B comparison feature. Perfect for evaluating your settings and ensuring you're adding value to your sound without any guesswork.
