Cupwise Tube Radio Distortion [Nebula]

These programs were originally created in 2011 and at that time they were one of the few releases for Nebula available that even attempted to push the distortion side of what Nebula could do. Now I consider these programs flawed in a lot of ways, but still think they are unique and fun to use, and can produce a huge variety of results useful in both mixing and sound design.

I used five tube radios, an old Philco tube amp, a couple of PA amplifiers, and an assortment of other equipment to produce these programs. The Philco and two PA amps were used to overdrive the radios in many cases, but the Philco tube amp was also the focus of its own effects, being itself overdriven by the two PA amps.

These programs were built like compressor programs. They have threshold, attack, and release controls, which allow you sculpt the results for more variety.
