Stomp Module
The Stomp boxes module is accessed by clicking on the “STOMP” button on
the lower right side of the interface (fig. 18). Once the Stomp section is
displayed the “STOMP” buttons turns red and, in this case, the “BYPASS”
button disengages the entire Stomp section. If, for instance, the Delay and
the Chorus are active both of them will be turned off by selecting “BYPASS”.
This is useful for instantaneously check the sound without all the Stomp
boxes in the signal path.
Wah-Wah
The first stomp box in AmpliTube™ is the wah pedal (fig. 19).
It carefully recreates that typical mid-rangey funky sweep of the best vinta-
ge units.
Click on the “Wah-Wah” big button to engage the effect. The red led shows
that the unit is active.
Mode: used to select the wah type.
On: manual wah mode. The Wah knob determines the cutoff fre
quency of the wah.
Auto: envelope follower mode: the cutoff frequency is controlled by
both the Wah knob and the envelope of the input signal.
Wah: sets the cutoff frequency. Then in On mode this is the static cutoff
freq, when in auto mode this is the base frequency, that will be
modulated by the input signal envelope.
Delay
This is a physical model of a high quality analog delay stomp box. Very fine
filters in the delay line and feedback networks provides that warm “full
sound of old analog delays (fig. 20).
Click on the “Delay” big button to engage the effect. The red led shows that
the unit is active.
Level: determines the amount of the delay. Fully counterclockwise is
dry, no effect, fully clockwise is only delay.
Delay: sets the delay time. From 2 mS to one second.
Feedback: determines the number of repetitions. Being an analog delay the
sound bandwidth will decrease on each repetition.
Full clockwise gives a sustaining effect.
