One HEAT knob. Turn it up and your track gets instant driven, analog-style grit saturation — no volume spikes, just heat.
Torchit Raw is the free, one-knob macro version of the full Torchit saturation plugin. The single Heat knob drives a fixed Grit saturation engine with high-quality oversampling and automatic level matching, so pushing it hard never blows up your gain staging.
Fully signed and notarized for macOS as AU, VST3, and Standalone.

One control: Heat (0–100%). As you turn it up, Torchit Raw pushes harder into a fixed Grit saturation character, sweeps in an anti-mud high-pass to keep the low end tight, and trims output for headroom. Under the hood it runs 8x oversampling for clean, anti-aliased drive and auto-gain to keep your level steady from clean to cranked — so the only thing you hear change is the heat.
