Amp Module
The Amplifier module is accessed by clicking on the “AMP” button on the
lower right side of the interface
(fig. 24)
. Once the Amplifier section is
displayed the “AMP” buttons turns red and, in this case, the “BYPASS” but-
ton disengages the whole Amplifier section, including the speaker and
microphone emulation. This is useful for instantaneously checking the
sound without the Amplifier emulation inserted into the signal path.
The Amplifier module is the heart of AmpliTube™.
Here is where the tone is actually modeled and shaped to be impressively
similar to those obtained with very well miked high end amplifiers.
In AmpliTube™ you have different choices for:
1. Preamplifier
, the actual gain stage, this offers seven different types
2. Amplifier Tone control,
that’s the Eq stage, can be selected among five types
3. Power Amplifier,
both solid state and tube with four types
4. Cabinet ,
the speaker system, this offers eight types plus bypass
5. Microphone model and positioning
Also built into the Amplifier circuit are two vintage “amp” typical effects:
- Opto
Tremolo
- Spring Reverb

they’re clean preamps with a fixed gain.
