Amp Descriptions
CLEAN
TUBE PREAMP: Sound engineers were quick to recognize the appeal of
tubes. They used tube amps to add warmth to all kinds of sounds. By default,
this amp model does not use a speaker simulation, and can be used with vocals,
but adding a speaker cab produces good clean tones for guitar as well.
SMALL COMBO: This model is based on one of the most simple yet eective
guitar amps of all time, the Fender Champ. Being as small as it is, you can easily
take it beyond its clean range, and the Champ rewards you with compression
and rich distortion. Originally designed for beginners, the amp soon became a
favorite of many guitar acionados due to its amazing distortion at manageably
low volume.
CLASSIC CLEAN: Back in the 80s, the Roland JC-120 was the preferred sound of
Buzzy Feiten, guitarist for the Dave Weckl Band. The unique quality of this amp is
the way its brilliance cuts through any mix. It is ideal for the New Wave sound of
the 80s that is making a comeback today.
TWEED COMBO: This was Je Beck’s favorite when he recorded the albums
Blow by Blow and Wired. This amp was not actually designed for heavy
distortion, but due to its low power, it is ideal for uncompromising overdrive.
The Tweed Champ had a volume control, but no EQ control. If you want to get
the most authentic sound out of this amp, keep the EQ on your V-AMP 3 in the
mid position.
CLEAN V-AMP: Here we have managed to simulate the sound of a Roland JC-120
and combine it with our BRIT CLASSIC model. The result blends the brilliance of
a transistor amp with the cutting power of a Marshall Plexi. The Marshall cut
appears when you turn the GAIN control clockwise.
CALIFORNIA CLEAN: This model is based on the clean channel of the Mesa
Boogie Mark II C. It sounds like a Fender, but has more punch in the midrange.
BLACK TWIN: This simulation was modeled on a Fender Blackface Twin from
1965. In the ‘60s, this amp was used by jazz, country, and even rock guitarists.
The Blackface Twin was unique for being exceptionally loud while the amount of
distortion remained relatively low.
CUSTOM CLEAN: This model simulates the clean channel from a Dumble,
an expensive boutique amp. The clean sound really cuts through, especially when
used with compressor attack settings around 2 milliseconds.
BLUES
AMERICAN: This virtual amp is modeled on the Fender Bassman 4 x 10 Combo.
Originally designed as a bass amp, it soon became a standard amp of blues
legends such as Steve Ray Vaughan and Billy Gibbons due to its characteristic
distortion. As you would expect, it packs a solid punch in the bass range,
but is still exible enough in the mid and treble ranges.
FUZZ BOX: This sound is not actually based on any one amp, but instead
simulates a particular fuzz box. Jimi Hendrix was one of the rst guitarists
to recognize the potential in this legendary broadband transistor distortion.
The humming distortion sound of the FUZZ BOX has returned to popularity with
Alternative Rock and Grunge.
DELUXE BLUES: A synthesis of a 1960 Fender Blackface Deluxe and a ‘50s Fender
Bassman. The result is a crystal clear sound that still simulates the edge of the
vintage amps. The EQ controls on this model give you even greater scope than the
EQ controls on the original amp.
V-AMP DRIVE: This simulation is based on the Mesa Boogie Mark III, a more
modern high-gain lead amp. This model produces a smooth and precise tone
with plenty of drive, making it ideal for lead guitar work.
