VST3 Plugin Installation (Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton, FL Studio)

1. Copy TONEMATH SAVES.vst3 into your system VST3 folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3.
2. Open your DAW, rescan your VST3 plugin directory, and insert TONEMATH SAVES onto any mono or stereo guitar track.

Standalone Application & Automatic Stereo Routing

1. Launch TONEMATH SAVES.exe and click the top-left Options → Audio/MIDI Settings... button.

3. Hardware Controls & Signal Modes

12AX7 TUBE STAGE: ON / OFF (+ Jeweled Pilot Lamp)

When set to OFF (Clean Headroom Mode), the plugin operates as a pure, ultra-linear studio amplifier tone stack with zero harmonic clipping—ideal when running physical overdrive or distortion pedals (such as a JOYO Bright Day Overdrive) in front of your audio interface. When switched ON, the 2x-oversampled 12AX7 triode stage adds warm asymmetric valve saturation and compression.

Engage 4th-Order Speaker Cabinet Emulation (Direct DI Studio Mode)

Keep this box ticked when plugging directly into an audio interface or studio monitors. Untick it only if you are feeding the output into an external real guitar power amp and physical speaker cabinet, or a third-party impulse response (IR) loader.

5-Knob Amplifier Readout Bay & OLED Display

The 5 rotary indicators (BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, PRESENCE, HEADROOM / TUBE DRIVE) and the bottom OLED readout screen display the exact locked studio recipe settings for the active preset, while internal 24-band spectral calibration maintains consistent unity-gain volume across all 3,000 recipes.
