Why settle for one sound? Our Cabinet Convolution engine uses circular convolution to recreate the response of 5 industry-standard models measured with various microphones, all available at the click of a button.

• Sherrif 800 (4×12″): – The gold standard for rock and metal. Known for its tight low-end and articulate highs, this closed-back cabinet projects with authority, making it the perfect choice for high-gain rhythm tones and screaming leads.
• Tender Twin (2×12″): – Unmatched clean headroom and “American” sparkle. Delivering a pristine, uncolored tone, this open-back model excels at jazz, country, and surf rock. It is particularly renowned for its lush depth and “knife-edge” clarity.
• Orange Grit (4×12″): – Modern punch with a vintage, warm soul. This cabinet is celebrated for its distinctive warm mid-range and “Voice of the World” character. It provides a full bottom-end and creamy mids that stay vibrant even when pushed to the limit.
• Voice 5 Teen (1×12″): – The legendary “British Invasion” chime. Small but mighty, this cabinet is famous for its sparkle and harmonic richness. Its Celestion Greenback speaker rounds off harsh high frequencies, providing a woody mid-range that breaks up naturally and musically.
• Amaze G52 (1×12″): – Versatile “Baxandall” style tone shaping. This open-back plywood cabinet offers a wide bandwidth of tones, from glassy cleans to gritty “tube-soaked” gain. Its stand-out feature is the smooth, non-traditional EQ curves that allow for nuanced, massive tonal variety.

Finalize your signature sound with our curated selection of virtual microphones. The V-AMP allows you to toggle between legendary profiles to find the perfect frequency response for your mix:

• S906: – This front-address dynamic mic is a guitar-cab staple, offering a smooth and lively response that captures transients with incredible speed.
• Sydney 1A: – A high-end large-diaphragm condenser model for those seeking a detailed, open, and silky top-end.
• Illinois 57: – Based on the industry’s most versatile workhorse, providing that classic mid-range punch and high-SPL reliability.
• Vienna 112: – Known for its heavy-hitting low-end, this model is perfect if you need to capture extra weight and “thump” from your cabinet.
• Sydney 4 (L & R): – Achieve a wide, lush stereo image or focused mono capture with these detailed condenser options.

Master the Signal Flow

• Precision Filtering: – The journey begins with a 10 Hz high-pass filter to clean up sub-harmonics, followed by a filter that meticulously models tube frequency response.
• Advanced Processing: – The audio undergoes oversampling and non-linear processing through static curves to emulate the complex distortion of real tube valves.
• Zero Mud: – A dedicated DC-removing high-pass and anti-aliasing filters ensure your high-gain tones stay crystal clear and professionally polished.
• Total Control at Your Fingertips
• Drive: – Use the Drive control to push the virtual valves harder, generating rich harmonic distortion that breathes life into your tracks.
• Crunch: – Bring crunchy distortion to your signal
• The “Tone Stack” Advantage: – Take command of the lows, mids and trebles to make your guitar sound “fatter and fuller,” or scoop them for a more aggressive, modern edge.
• Presence: – Engage the Presence control to add crispness and high-frequency bite that cuts through any mix.
• Bass Boost: – Need more low-end? The Bass Boost switch injects up to 6 dB of extra low-frequency content for a massive sound.
• Master Volume: – Keep control over the amplifier.
• IN and OUT gain stages: – Set the proper gain stage of your signal before your enters the preamp valves as well as what goes out of the plugin.
