Introduction

Straightforward and simple, Vintage Amp Room emulates three great guitar amps in a complete studio set­up with speaker cabinets and fully flexible microphone positioning. It's easy to use for live performances and recordings, as well as for re­amping and last­ minute tweaking.

Amp Room has none of the added gadgets or weird­sounding presets sometimes found in simulation software. Focusing on quality and accuracy, it simulates three amps, with sounds that are timeless and authentically raw. The goal is not to give you a pre­produced, ultimate guitar sound, but to provide you with the ultimate tool to create your own. Because after all, only you know

exactly what sound you want.

Product Philosophy

Everything about this product is authentic. The raw and dynamic sound is an absolute replica of what you would get if you had these amps set up in a real studio. What you see on the screen are photo­realistic 3D­renderings of the complete set­ups, and you get to move an actual mic around when deciding which position is best, from near field off­axis to far field and back, continuously, without preset positions.

The idea is that using Amp Room should be like working directly with these amplifiers set up in a real studio, with a microphone in front of the cabinet, connected to your DAW. And we kept it simple. Amp Room has no knobs with dubious or unintuitive functionality, and no added gadgets or ridiculously fake­sounding effects.

The sound of the amps has not been tampered with, because we don't give you a pre­ produced, ultimate guitar sound. We simply provide you with the tools: three great, classic amplifiers, in digital form. Then it's up to you to add compressors, EQ's, reverb, or any other effects, to get the sound you want.

In short, you need the same skills to master this software as you need when dealing with a real studio set­up. You can get back to doing what you do best, because music
