SAK-TUBE 0.1.3 - SAK Audio
Windows x64 / VST3 and optional standalone

Close your audio host before installing. Setup installs the complete VST3 bundle
to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 by default. You may choose another folder.
Rescan VST3 effects in your host after installation.

The standalone application is optional; select Full or Custom installation to
include it. The reference manual and license notices are included with every
installation. Uninstall through Windows Settings > Apps. The shared Microsoft
runtime is not removed, and host-owned projects and presets are not touched.

The installer includes Microsoft's signed Visual C++ x64 Redistributable and
installs it only if version 14.32.31326 or newer is not already present. A reboot
may be required by that prerequisite. The SAK-TUBE installer itself is unsigned.

PORTABLE ZIP
Copy the entire SAK-TUBE.vst3 folder, including Contents, to the VST3 folder above.
Do not rename or extract just the inner binary. If a runtime is missing, install:

The ZIP's standalone executable can be run directly after installing the runtime.

FIRST SESSION
New instances start at Quality 1x, Drive 3.5, Power 5.0 and Output -12 dB. Drive excites the
preamp; Power excites the output section; Output sets listening level. Lower
Output if CLIP lights. The reactive speaker is an electrical load, not an acoustic
cabinet IR. Add your preferred cabinet IR for a recorded guitar-cabinet sound.
