VST Amp Rack
VST Amp Rack is a powerful guitar amp simulator. It offers a choice of amplifiers and speaker cabinets
that can be combined with stomp box effects.
At the top of the plug-in panel, there are seven buttons, arranged according to the position of the
corresponding elements in the signal chain. Each button opens a different page in the display section
of the plug-in panel ([Pre-Effects], [Amplifiers], [Cabinets], [Post-Effects], [Microphone],
[Configuration], and [Master]).
Below the display section, the selected amplifier is shown. The color and texture of the area below the
amplifier indicate the selected cabinet.
Pre-Effects/Post-Effects
On the [Pre-Effects] and [Post-Effects] pages, you can select up to six common guitar effects. On
both pages, the same effects are available, the only difference being the position in the signal chain
(before and after the amplifier). On each page, every effect can be used once.
Each effect features an [On/Off] button known from stompbox effects, as well as individual
parameters.
