Amp is a guitar amplifier emulation effect that models seven classic amplifier designs using physical modeling technology developed with Softube. It provides authentic amplifier tones with a unified control set across all models, making it easy to dial in everything from clean vintage tones to heavy distortion. Beyond guitars, Amp works creatively on drums, synthesizers, and other sound sources to add analog character and grit.
