Saturn2 feature suggestion - biasing
WHILE I'M SUGGESTING FEATURES:
Ability to use any band in FULL-BAND mode!
There's so many times i combined i.e. Smudge and Breakdown, and i always need to load two instances and macro them externally.
If i could simply switch both "bands" to full-band mode, i could use both in a single instance.
Smudge+Breakdown is an INSTANT transition maker, but it's such a pain in the ass to link two instances.

Multiband can work similarly but it's not quite the same as processing single band with biasing.
You could use existing tone controls (the 4 band EQ) and a simple switch that would switch the tone controls from "post EQ" to "Pre+Post biasing"
So to use existing 4-band EQ either as a postEQ tone shaper, or a biaser (-12dB pre-input, +12dB post output) - affecting only biasing not the overall spectral balance of the signal.
There's a few plugins on the market that do this (Softube Overstayer, Tone Projects Kelvin)
