List of Effects
ECHO Delayed and filtered repetition of
the input signal.
DELAY Delays the input signal, with different
tempo settings emulating an early
reflections room effect on the repetitions
producing an echo-like effect.
PING PONG A delay effect that alternates between the
left and right channel/speaker.
PHASER A second, phase-shifted signal is
added to the audio signal, creating a
wave-like effect.
FLANGER Similar to a phaser in the fact that it
produces wave-like modulation to the
guitar tone.
CHORUS Adds a slightly modulated off-key element
to the original signal.
PHASER & DELAY Phaser and delay combined.
FLANGER & DELAY Combines flanger and delay.
CHORUS & DELAY Combines signal delay with chorus.
COMPRESSOR Limits the dynamic range of the audio
material, increasing sustain and giving
notes a crisper quality.
CHORUS & COMP Combines chorus and compression.
AUTO WAH Alters a filter frequency automatically
depending on the signal’s magnitude,
giving notes a vowel sound-like quality.
TREMOLO Volume is continuously modulated up and
down to an adjustable tempo.
ROTARY Simulation of the classic organ effect
normally produced by speakers rotating at
slow or fast speed inside a speaker cabinet.
NOISE GATE Removes or reduces noise or other
interference by muting the signal
during breaks.

List of Amps
CLEAN
TUBE PREAMP Tube amps add warmth to all kinds
of sounds. By default, this amp model
does not use a speaker simulation, and
can be used with vocals, but adding a
speaker cab produces good clean tones.
SMALL COMBO Based on a small, simple amp originally
made for beginners, but it’s no
“Tender Chump!” With plenty of gain,
it rewards you with compression and
rich distortion.
CLASSIC CLEAN Shake it up with this model—ideal
for the New Wave sound of the 80s that
is making a comeback today.
TWEED COMBO A close cousin of the SMALL COMBO
model, this super-simplified model will
toughen up your tone blow by blow!
CLEAN V-AMP This model gives you the squeaky cleans
of the CLASSIC CLEAN, but with the
cutting power of one of the most
famous British amps of all time.
You’ll believe in miracles when you hear
this “plexi” thing.
CALIFORNIA CLEAN Based on the clean channel of a certain
amp sharing a name with a big,
flat southwestern land form.
BLACK TWIN Modeled after a famous 1960s 2x12
combo amp that was exceptionally loud
with low distortion.
CUSTOM CLEAN Simulation of the clean channel from
a very expensive boutique amp whose
name rhymes with “stumble”.
Loves compression.
BLUES
AMERICAN Based on a timeless 60s 4x10 combo
originally intended as a bass amp but
embraced by electric blues rockers.
FUZZ BOX Not based on an amp, but a distortion
box that debuted in the 60s and
provided “big fuzz” for 90s
grunge bands.
DELUXE BLUES A synthesis of the AMERICAN and the
BLACK TWIN, giving you a greater
EQ range.
V-AMP DRIVE This simulation is based on a more
modern high-gain lead amp that’ll
make you wanna boogie. This produces
a smooth and precise tone with plenty
of drive, making it ideal for lead
guitar work.
BRIT BLUES Based on an amp that was considered
the “cream” of the crop in the
psychedelic 60s. Try it with a 2 x 12"
speaker simulation.
V-CRUNCH Ideal for modern blues or jazz. Its sound
is subtle, but crunchy and dynamic.
CUSTOM BLUES Like the BRIT BLUES, but capable of a
thick boutique distortion tone when the
GAIN is cranked!
BRIT CLASSIC 50 W 50 W blues breaker sibling of our Brit
Classic model with extensively widened
sound range.
METAL
NUMETAL GAIN Based on a 90s amp also bearing that
big, flat southwestern name, featuring a
post-gain tone control for
ultra-customized distortion.
NUMETAL HD Much like the NUMETAL GAIN, this amp
produces an even higher gain sound.
The tone controls are most effective
with the gain knob cranked.
SAVAGE BEAST Half-English, so to speak, this model has
extreme power and is therefore highly
popular with heavy metal guitarists.
CUSTOM HI GAIN Based on a variation of the BRIT BLUES,
modified by a famous eruption-inducing
guitarist’s technician. Great midrange
without the mud!
BRIT HI GAIN Modeled after a big, bad stacked British
amp renowned for its distorted sounds,
but also great on low-gain settings.
MODERN HI GAIN Another model with post-gain EQ,
this amp can easily go from fuzzed-out
grunge to laser-guided shredding.
NEW! ULTRAZONIC New, aggressive, in-your-face hi-gain
sound similar to the crunch channel of
the BUGERA 333XL. Excellent for
detuned, palm-muted, fast rhythm
guitar riffs.
ULTIMATE PLUS Those who find the ULTRAZONIC too
tame will find enough gain here for an
overdose, and nearly endless sustain.
ROCK
NEW! ROCK 59SL Stands out for its extremely dynamic
rock sound, dishing out fat clean tone
as well as solid crunch. Here both
input channels are bridged for
parallel operation.
BRIT CLASS A Simulation of an iconic double-wide
British amp that helped a quartet of
longhairs cause mass panic in the 1960s.
NEW! HI BRIT 100 Modeled after a custom high-watt amp
that’ll have your audience wondering,
“How do you think he does it?”
CUSTOM CLASS A Simulates an amp sharing a name with
an obese Asian deity. Renowned for
its warm sound combined with
irresistible tube distortion. Although
the original amp does not have a mid
control, we have given the capability of
suiting the midrange to your taste.
NEW! AMBER 120 Based on an amp that brings
citrus-laden goodness to mind.
Perfect for vintage distortion freaks.
If you crank the gain, the preamp tone
controls greatly influence the sound.
CLASS A NORM This amp is characterized by its mild
distortion and sounds almost like hi-fi.
If there’s any match for this amp, we
ain’t found it!
BRIT CLASSIC Based on the second channel of our
59SL amp model, this one provides a
slightly darker range of clean and
crunch sounds.
BRITISH CLASS A Unlike the BRIT CLASS A, this amp had
15 W only one 12" speaker and produced a
warmer sound. Tip: to make this
simulation sound as authentic as
possible, leave the BASS and MID
controls in middle position and adjust
the TREBLE control only.
PREAMP BYPASS In this setting, no amp simulation is
selected. This makes it possible,
for example, to play through an
external guitar preamp and only use
the effects or the speaker simulation.
To activate the PREAMP BYPASS,
press TAP and TUNER simultaneously.
