What's so new and groundbreaking about the AMPX?
The “virtual soldering iron”
AMPX is, at its core, a 100% analog amp design. Up until now, analyzing the DNA of sounds and recreating them has been the nature of digital processing – but it had never been done in the analog world before now. Our Neural Analog Amp™ design allows us to edit and save analog circuit parameters at a component level – like a “virtual soldering iron” for analog amp tuning. From a technical point of view, it’s a bit like changing the circuit.
The analog circuit of the AMPX is designed in a way that – with the help of our virtual soldering iron – it can take the DNA of any (yes, any!) tube amp design (that already exists, or is yet to be created) and bring it to life in your AMPX… in authentic analog tube tone quality! The same applies to pedals, effects (in this case analog or digital, depending on which technology is superior for the respective effect) and speaker simulations..
BlugPRINTs: Unlimited expandability
AMPX comes stock with a extensive set of tones, but you will also have the chance to download new sounds (we call them BlugPRINTs) from our constantly-growing online BlugPRINT sound library and install them on your AMPX. Yes, that’s right: you download a digital set of data that, once installed on your AMPX, changes the analog circuit parameters of the amp! This allows you to create a 100% authentic reproduction of your favorite tube amp.
And we will add BlugPRINTs for all the sounds and devices that you could ever ask for! So AMPX offers all you need and all you ever will need. It’s your entire analog, 100-watt tube-driven guitar rig in a 3 kg/6.5 lbs., pedal-sized device.
