KNOCK
808s that knock on a phone speaker.
Cascaded triode → pentode drive builds harmonics small speakers can actually reproduce — while Sub-Lock keeps the fundamental clean underneath.

Why it exists
The 808 slaps in the studio and vanishes on the artist's phone. Distort it until it reads and now the sub is fuzzy in the car. You can't win with one saturator.
KNOCK runs the harmonics and the sub as separate problems: parallel triode and pentode drive up top, a clean Sub-Lock crossover holding the fundamental below, and a pitch-locked Sub-Synth that tracks the glides. Phone, laptop, car — it reads everywhere.
In the session
- Make the 808 read on a phone and in the car — same setting.
- Keep the sub solid with the clean Sub-Lock crossover.
- Track gliding 808s with the pitch-locked Sub-Synth.
- Add Click when a soft 808 needs attack.
