Amp is an amp simulator plugin that applies the character and idiosyncrasies of various instrument amplifiers to incoming signals. It features a comprehensive signal chain with PRE-drive EQ, DRIVE stage with overamplification and multiple clipping models, POST-drive EQ, and cabinet simulation with physical parameters and tone shaping controls. This distinctive architecture allows detailed sculpting of both the amplifier character and acoustic cabinet response.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01PRE-drive stage with L/M/H EQ filters and nested device chain
02DRIVE stage with up to 48 dB gain and multiple clipping models (Class AB, Eulic, Fold B, etc.)
03Bias and Sag controls for overdrive character shaping
04POST-drive stage with L/M/H EQ filters and nested device chain
05Cabinet simulation with physical parameters (width, height, depth)
06Eight discrete hue variations (A-H buttons) and acoustic phasing
07Polarity control and cabinet Mix blend (0-100%)
08Global Gain and Mix controls

Things to Try

  • 01Adjust the Sag parameter to compress the signal when it reaches peak levels, creating natural amplifier sag behavior
  • 02Use the L and H band filters in the PRE-drive stage to shape the incoming signal before the DRIVE stage for cleaner or more aggressive tones
  • 03Blend between discrete hue variations (A-H buttons) on the cabinet to find complementary acoustic colorations
  • 04Set the cabinet Mix control between 0% (dry signal) and 100% (cabinet-processed sound) to find the optimal balance of amplifier character
