Guitar Amp Pro
Guitar Amp Pro overview
Guitar Amp Pro simulates the sound of popular guitar ampliers and the speakers used with
them. You can process guitar signals directly, which enables you to reproduce the sound of your
guitar through a number of high-quality guitar amplication systems. Guitar Amp Pro can also
be used for experimental sound design and processing. You can use it with other instruments,
applying the sonic character of a guitar amp to a trumpet or vocal part, for example.
An amplier “model” consists of an amplier, speaker cabinet, EQ type, and microphone type.
You can create your own hybrids of dierent ampliers, cabinets, and so on—using the pop-up
menus at the top center of the interface. You choose the microphone position and type in the
yellow areas to the left and right. Guitar Amp Pro also emulates classic guitar amplier eects,
including reverb, vibrato, and tremolo.
You can use the Settings pop-up menu to save your new hybrid amp combos as setting les,
which also include any parameter changes you may have made.
The Guitar Amp Pro window is organized into several parameter sections.
Effects section
Amp section
Microphone

Type section
•
Amp section: The model parameters at the top are used to choose the type of amp, EQ model,
and speaker. The knobs in the V-shaped section are used to set tone, gain, and level. See Guitar
Amp Pro amplier models, Guitar Amp Pro cabinet models, and Guitar Amp Pro EQ.
•
Eects section: Provides parameters to control the built-in tremolo, vibrato, and reverb eects.
See Guitar Amp Pro eects on page 283.
•
Microphone Position and Type sections: These sections enable you to set the position and type
of the microphone. See Guitar Amp Pro microphone parameters on page 284.
•
Output slider: The Output slider is found at the bottom, below the Eects section. It serves
as the nal level control for Guitar Amp Pro and can be thought of as a “behind the speaker”
volume control that is used to set the level fed to the ensuing plug-in slots on the channel
strip or to Output channel strips.
Note: This parameter is dierent from the Master control, which serves the dual purpose of
sound design as well as controlling the level of the Amp section.
