Yep. That totally makes sense. The saturation is basically adding varying amounts of odd and/or even harmonics. Plenty of other saturation plugins do similar things but the way the Omni Channel preamp does it sounds the closest to vintage Neve gear to my ears.

Using it on every channel adds a depth and fullness to a mix that is a huge step closer to owning a vintage Neve console. I'm not likely to have the budget for 72 channels of 8000 series hardware in my immediate future!
