Core capabilities
AmpStamp uses detailed modeling of select vintage hardware and period recording techniques along with flexible controls so you can design a wide variety of guitar tones — from warm blues and classic rock to alternative and high-gain metal. It supplies ample gain and tonal shaping to help produce the desired character and presence.
Key operation highlights include a virtual Floor Controller for saving and instantly recalling setups, plus MIDI controller compatibility for hands-free control during performances, studio sessions, or casual playing.
Expansion and licensing
A built-in Gear Shop lets you buy individual amps, cabinets, and stompboxes as needed. There is also an all-access subscription that unlocks the entire catalog and includes access to future releases and updates, making it easy to expand your sonic palette over time.
