MATcHEd cAbINETS
Each amp model in AMPLIFIRE has its own ideal IR . meaning that they represent the
type of cabinet that is typically used with that particular type of amp model . Without
any programming or cabinet selection, you get the “right” sound by default. When
changing an AMP MODEL, you automatically get the typical cabinet for that amp .
AMPLIFIRE allows you customize your tone and swap out these “matched” IRs for
those that are from the other amp models .
NoTE
: One of our unique features is that IRs are embedded in user presets so that
the preset is completely portable. Any imported or exported presets carry the IR data
with them so you get the exact tone you need.

QUIcK EdIT - TWEAK KNobS
AMPLIFIRE includes six (6) quick tweak knobs to make adjustments just like on a real
amplifier without having to enter edit menus or programming. These six knobs allow
you to adjust GAIN (tube preamp gain), MASTER (tube power amp master volume),
PRESENCE (tube power amp presence control), BASS, MIDS, and TREBLE (tube
preamp tone stack controls).
Just grab and turn one of the knobs to instantly adjust the tone. The display will show
the value while you’re turning the knob to let you know where it is. It also shows you
how it compares to the original preset value using left and right arrows in the display .
The arrows show you which direction to turn to match the knob with the original
preset value . When both arrows are displayed, the knob matches the original preset
value .
Once you edit the preset, the SAVE LED starts blinking, warning you to remember to
save your changes if you want to (see SAVING PRESETS below).
