PurestWarm3

About

PurestWarm3 is a saturation and distortion plugin by Airwindows. It is a saturation and distortion effect that adds a continuous asymmetrical distortion, scalable from subtle to strong. Its stated purpose is subtle tone shaping and warmth addition. It produces a second and a fourth harmonic, and its effect can be exaggerated to be heard clearly.

What it sounds like

The author describes proper second harmonic distortion as warmth that is very hard to hear. The author describes it as much purer and smoother than the earlier versions, so that it can be nearly inaudible.
