4.4 THD – Total harmonic distortion
The THD switch activates a proprietary circuit that overloads the output stage of the compressor. This
circuit is a common feature in many of our units, and it adds a unique presence to the source material that
is difficult to achieve through other methods.
4.5 Saturation mode
Release 12.2 introduces a new analog feature that transforms _RHEA into a saturation box. This mode
allows you to soften the compression (*), or entirely disable it (**), and implement different gain staging to use
the tube stage as a saturation circuit. When this mode is activated, the DRIVE control adjusts the INPUT and
OUTPUT potentiometers to achieve the saturation effect while maintaining as close to unity gain as possible.
The TRIM knob compensates for any clipping loss.
When saturation mode is active, the following changes occur on the hardware front panel:
1. INPUT knob becomes the DRIVE knob.
2. THRESHOLD knob is inactive.
3. OUTPUT knob becomes the TRIM knob.
4. ATTACK and RELEASE knobs are inactive, and a LED pattern will appear on their LED rings.
5. SC Filter becomes inactive.
Notes on Analog Board Revisions:
• (*) Analog Board REV E: In this revision of the _RHEA main board, compression is softened, and the
gain staging is pushed forward to produce the desired amount of saturation. Please note that some
compression artifacts may still be audible, as compression is not entirely disabled.
• (**) Analog Board REV F: This revision of the _RHEA main board disables compression entirely and
pushes the gain staging forward when saturation mode is active. The effect is highly dependent on the
input signal level—the higher the input signal, the more pronounced the saturation effect.
How to Engage Saturation Mode:
Saturation mode can be enabled or disabled either from the GUI (via a dedicated button) or directly from the
front panel:
• To enable saturation mode: Press and hold the SC Filter button for 2 seconds.
• To disable saturation mode: Simply press the SC Filter button once.
