Softube Amp Room Native Software Plug-In Bundle, Includes Vintage Amp, Metal Amp, Bass Amp Room, Electronic Download

The complete collection of Softube's renown amplifier simulations, including Vintage Amp Room, Metal Amp Room and Bass Amp Room. This collection includes the Vintage Amp Room with its three models of classic guitar amplifiers, the Metal Amp Room for high gain metal madness and finally the Bass Amp Room which is a natural sounding model of a seriously cool bass amplifier and three different cabinets.

Vintage Amp Room
Straightforward and simple, Vintage Amp Room emulates three great and classic guitar amps in a complete studio set-up with speaker cabinets and fully flexible microphone positioning. It's easy to use for live performances and recordings, as well as for re-amping and last-minute tweaking. The three guitar amplifiers they simulated in Vintage Amp Room are timeless classics that have deserved their place in the history of guitar based music. So instead of simulating tons of amps, they set out to get these three done right instead.

• Three great-sounding vintage amp models
• Raw & authentic sound
• Real studio workflow
• Flexible & continuous click-and-drag mic positioning.
• Fully automatable parameters .
• 3-D rendered photo-realistic user interface
• Compatible with all effects that work with real amps

The amps are simulated in a true studio environment with fully flexible click-and-drag microphone positioning. So not only did they simulate the sound of guitar amps in a nice studio, they simulated the entire workflow. Vintage Amp Room has none of the added gadgets or weird-sounding presets sometimes found in amp simulation software. It provides you with the ultimate tool to create your own guitar sound. Because after all, only you know exactly what sound you want.

White
Based on an all-round great amp that set the industry standard for classic, distorted rock n' roll sounds. The genius is its simplicity. It's stripped down to the bare essentials - all tubes, only one channel and no reverb or any other built-in effects. Sound-wise, it goes from mad screaming preamp shred, to warm, speakers-about-to-break power amp distortion. Perfect when you need a characteristically distorted edge and a powerful roar.

Brown
One of the most versatile amplifiers in music history. It's been used in all kinds of genres and for all kinds of instruments, thanks to a sound that is clean, crisp and clear, but also warm, thick and punchy. Brown can produce anything from the clearest country-style sound for steel guitars to a dirty, bluesy guitar noise. It works for both funky rhythms and bassy, mellow chords. It's got a notoriously warm sound with a massive bass and a shimmering treble. Versatility embodied, it can do more or less whatever you want it to.

Green
Packed with character and produces a pleasant guitar sound with warm yet intense power amp distortion. Its edginess makes it shine through in mixes, without drowning out other instruments. Green is based on a very adaptable three-channel amp model. All three channels sound fantastic, but if you want to add a little quirkiness, they especially recommend the vibrato/tremolo one. The original amp has been widely used during the last forty years, from classic pop recordings in the 60's, through to today's users, playing mostly independent and alternative rock.

Metal Amp Room
Metal Amp Room was designed to bring you the most brutal, evil and aggressive guitar sound that is possible to squeeze out of your DAW. It may even contain backward messages. Run it in mono for a tight and focused sound or let it take up your entire stereo width by the use of two panned microphones.

• Raw and authentic metal guitar amp sound
• Made in collaboration with Patrik Jensen (The Haunted) and producer Tue Madsen. Cabinet simulations made in the In Flames studio
• Program-dependent guitar noise gate
• Two cabs with two mics per cabinet
• Easy to use balancing stereo mic preamp for balancing the two mics
• Flexible & continuous click-and-drag mic positioning
• Fully automatable parameters

They should probably add it to their end user agreement that by installing Metal Amp Room to your DAW, you agree to having it possessed by a dark and evil force. Plus you may want to consult an exorcist if you should ever wish to uninstall.

Metal Amp Room won't make your computer screen spin (and you won't want to uninstall it either), but it was designed with the intent of letting you metal heads get the most fiercely brutal high gain guitar sound possible out of your DAW. The continuous mic placement from Vintage Amp Room is here as well, but this time with twin mics and adjustable stereo panning. Get a huge stereo sound with complex adjustable phasing effects, a plain old one-mic-right-against-the-cone or anything in between.

Included is also a fantastic gate, great for palm muting galore. It opens insanely fast - faster than any hardware gate - and its release (how fast it closes after being opened) is program-dependent. This means that fast playing will give you an extremely fast closing gate, while slow playing will yield a slower release.

Bass Amp Room
Bass Amp Room was designed to handle all your bass amp needs, from dirty rock to modern clean. It consists of a model of a bass amplifier, three distinctive speaker cabinets with click-and-drag mics and a blendable DI section with tone controls and a limiter. Bass Amp Room has got everything you need to create a unique signature sound in no time. It's well thought out and the high quality building blocks will help you produce a huge range of sounds. The Bass Amp Room is all about getting a sound you know you can trust and getting it quickly.

• Authentic amp and cabinet modeling
• One amplifier and three versatile and good-sounding cabinets
• Flexible and continuous click-and-drag mic positioning
• Slider control to blend in the DI sound from within the plug-in
• Tone control, Low and High cut filters plus limiter in the DI section

Although it was originally designed as a guitar amp, the 70's amp that has been modeled has proven to be an excellent choice for bass players. A thick and solid preamp distortion without any fizziness lets you crank it up without losing the low end. The power amp has a more traditional power amp distortion (controlled by the Master Volume knob), which at extreme settings will give you all the dirt you can handle. The High/Low switch wasn't a part of the original amp, but was added to give you a cleaner and fatter sound when necessary.

There are three different cabinets in Bass Amp Room. The 8 x 10" is an industry standard for fat and solid bass tones with lots of low end and lots of definition. The 4 x 12" may be a good choice for rock sounds with its focused and hard sound. And lastly, while an open back 1 x 12" may not be the first cabinet choice that springs to mind for bass, this is something that works extremely well in the studio.
