[BETA] Relab Color Drive

New from Relab!

Every engineer knows when something feels right.

You patch in a favorite piece of gear, push a fader and suddenly the track comes alive.

That’s the feeling I’ve been chasing in software for saturation for years - and I think, what we finally captured in the new Relab Color Drive.

Derived from the 176’s variable-gain tube stage and transformer circuit, Color Drive uses the same real-time solver, now refined for harmonic color instead of compression.

The result: genuine tube and transformer color and musical response, without the hardware.

In this short video, I walk through what makes it different, how we built it, how the circuit behaves, and why the result isn’t just saturation...

It’s drive that feels alive.

Real circuit behavior, solved in real time.

The kind of feel only hardware has ever had for me - until now.
