Amps and pedals overview
MainStage features an extensive collection of guitar and bass ampliers and classic pedal eects.
You can play live—or process recorded audio and software instrument parts—through these
amps and eects.
The amplier models recreate vintage and modern tube and solid-state amps. Built-in eect
units, such as reverb, tremolo, or vibrato, are also reproduced. The modeled ampliers can be
paired with a number of emulated speaker cabinets. These ampliers and speaker cabinets can
be used as a matching set or combined in other ways to create interesting hybrids.
Also emulated are a number of “classic” foot pedal eects—or stompboxes—that were, and
remain, popular with guitarists and keyboardists. As with their real-world counterparts, you can
chain pedals in any order to create your sound.
