FREE Fat Cat Saturation Plugin

Fat Cat is our FREE Tube Saturation & Distortion Plugin. Add color and warmth to your vocals, or crank it up as a distortion effect, Fat Cat will be your new favourite Vocal Saturation Plugin.

Modelled and fine-tuned from modern analog tube preamp, Fat Cat adds harmonic distortion that is musical and pleasing to the ears. Make your sounds phat by simply turning the Drive knob up! Be careful though, Fat Cat can get really thick really quickly.

Fat Cat starts of with a gentle preamp saturation. Turn up the Drive knob and you will start getting warm saturation/distortion that is perfect for bring the vocals to the front of the mix. Crank up the Drive knob and Fat Cat will turn into a soft clipper, to get that really warm and crunchy distortion.

Use the Mix knob to blend in the original unsaturated signal so you get a more natural sound (parallel saturation). If you find your volume becoming too loud, you can always turn down the Vol (Volume) knob.

Founder's Story

"When COVID hit, I finally had time to dive into music production—only to discover I was missing the right tools. The plugins I tried were clunky, overloaded with unnecessary features, and killed my vibe with endless tweaking. I knew there had to be a better way.

So, with my engineering background, I started making free and simple audio plugins for my producer friends. They loved them! That’s when I set out on a mission to create plugins that save you time, streamline your workflow, and keep your creativity flowing."

- Ryan Svensson (Founder & CEO)

Recommended by Berklee Professor

"Vox Samples’ audio plugins have become an essential part of my daily studio sessions. They’re incredibly intuitive, speeding up my workflow and saving me at least two hours every day.

I highly recommend them to anyone who wants professional results without the learning curve."

- Justin Sheriff (Professor at Berklee College of Music), RIAA Gold Certified

To hot

Just adding the plug with 0 saturation added way to much to the output. Was needing to decrease at the fader way to much to get a relevant comparison. Uninstalled quickly. GSAT and IVGI2 remain. I guess I could see it for a production tool. It was too much for mixing real instruments.

Fat Cat Saturation

Fat Cat is a powerful saturator/transient plugin. Works great even on the mastering process. Be careful on the drive knob, a little or even zero can make a difference.

What a great product!

This fattened up the mids in my mix like nothing else. I've tried a couple of plugins of this nature and find this works the best!
