      I have @Casmat 's soft saturation SNEX node (https://forum.hise.audio/topic/8959/for-you-soft-saturation-in-scriptnode?_=1716553164934), but I'm having trouble turning it into an honest-to-God gain stage and need someone to walk me through it. I'm currently trying to make an amp sim. I got the filters down pat, but whenever I export and turn the gain up, it just sounds louder, not clipped. Any help?

                        @11235813 simply increase the input gain

                          @Matt_SF oh thx. also, how do i lower the output gain without un-distorting the sound?

                            @11235813 simply put a gain node after the distortion and lower the output level

                              @11235813 amp sim huh? General DSP learning, loopback signal in non-linear algorithms, hysteresis, tube/diode simulation DSP, filters combined with non linear systems, convolution, tone stack sim, bias… and much more! Other simple functions like tanh or quadratic equations used alone will produce distortion, but they are far far from being called an amp sim.
                              Not even talking about real measures of existing hardware…

                              Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...
