Many saturation designs are built around a static waveshaper. DeepFryer is built around measured, drive-dependent harmonic behaviour: how H2, H3, and overall saturation balance shift as the stage is pushed harder.
The result is a saturation curve that doesn’t just “add distortion”; it changes character as Drive rises. At low Drive, second-harmonic (H2) content dominates: gentle, even-order body and density that can thicken a signal without taking over its character. Push the Drive higher and third-harmonic (H3) content climbs until it overtakes H2 somewhere between 50% and 80%. Past that point the sound gets edgier, grittier, more present — the tube is no longer easing in, it’s breaking up.
Three tube-style voicings — Triode, Pentode #1, Pentode #2 — each with a different harmonic fingerprint measured from different operating points. A Bias control shifts the DC offset inside the saturator, letting you nudge the H2/H3 balance without touching Drive. A pre-saturation high-pass filter keeps low-end content from muddying the harmonics. A post-saturation tilt control lets you shape brightness after the saturation stage.
Four Quality modes (Live, Design, Mix, Master) control oversampling from 1× to 8×. Higher modes push aliasing artefacts further above the audible band — Design (2×) is the sweet spot for sound-building, Master (8×) for final renders.
Auto-Gain compensates for the level change introduced by Drive, so bypass comparison is loudness-matched. Mix blends dry and wet for parallel saturation; at 0% Mix, the dry signal passes through unchanged.
DeepFryer is offline-first. No internet connection required after activation. No plugin telemetry, no phone-home, and no online account requirement to run the plugin. License locally, make noise immediately.

Default voicing. Balanced H2/H3 behaviour — round, even-harmonic body at low Drive, controlled odd-harmonic edge once you push past the crossover. The catch-all character.
Tighter mids, earlier H3 onset. Breaks up sooner than the triode and holds its character harder — the one to reach for when you want the saturation to be obvious.
The aggressive model. Heaviest H3 plateau at high Drive. Use when polite is not the assignment.
At lower Drive settings, DeepFryer leans into H2 - second-harmonic body, roundness, and density. Push Drive harder and the balance shifts toward H3, adding third-harmonic edge, bite, and a more aggressive saturation shape. One knob moves the source from polite colour to properly gnarly.
Each Type setting is fitted from a different measured operating point. Triode gives the softer, rounder response, while the two Pentode voicings push harder and shape the harmonic envelope in different ways. Choose the voicing first, then drive into it.
Drive sets how hard the signal hits the saturator and moves the H2/H3 balance. Bias shifts the operating point of the saturation stage, changing the harmonic skew without simply adding more Drive. Two independent moves, two clearly different shapes in the spectrum analyzer.
Switch between Stereo, Left/Right, and Mid/Side operation from one control. Internal Mid/Side encode/decode and Lane Link let you move quickly between classic stereo colour, independent dual-lane saturation, and width-aware tone shaping.
