2 - Using AmpliTube™
16
Stomp Module
The first module that the signal goes into is the Stomp effects (fig. 8).
The sound of the effects is very different if they are applied before or after
the Amplifier.
In AmpliTube™ you have choice of both the options and the units are spe-
cially designed for the “pre” or “post” operation. This “pre” section recrea-
tes the sound of some of the classic pedal stomp boxes and it is patched, as
for a real guitar setup, before the amplifier.
It is equipped with 5 pedal processors:
1) Vintage wah pedal, with manual or auto wah options and, thanks to the
modeling technology, a real-wah sound!
2) Analog delay, delivers that typical warm tone of the early stomp delay
units, without the hiss!
3) Analog chorus, modeled after one of the most loved 80’s chorus stomp
boxes.
4) Analog flanger, capable of a wide range of flanging effects - from sub
tle choruses to jet-plane like extreme effects.
5) Analog solid-state overdrive stomp box, this is the perfect unit for “dri
ving” the first stage of all the AmpliTube™ preamps. A warm, rich and
ver satile overdrive pedal, that can saturate itself and overdrive the
amp as well.
All the connections between the internal stages of AmpliTube™ (and also of
course between these “pedals”) are 32 bit floating point for an unmatched
audio resolution that’s essential for a realistic emulation of what happens
in the analog domain.
Amp Module
After passing through the stomp boxes section the signal goes into the
heart of AmpliTube™: the amplifier emulation (fig. 9).
Here everything is physically modeled and the signal first hits the opto-
Tremolo (fig. 10) unit than feeds into the gain stage, the Preamp (fig. 11)
that can be either Tube or Solid State. The preamp stage is very important
for getting the guitar tone you’re after. The AmpliTube™ preamps are direc-
tly taken from some of the best preamps ever made, and the tonal spectrum
covered by all the AmpliTube™ preamps is exceptionally wide.
