When to use it

Where Decapitator or Saturation Knob apply one type of saturation to the whole signal, this splits it into three bands, so you can, for example, warm the lows, leave the mids clean and add edge up top, with width control in the same plugin. Suits mix buses, synths, drum sub-mixes and mastering.
