      FAQ
      What's new in version V1.1?
      - New amp simulation Randy (Mesa Rectifier)*.
      - Cutoff frequency potentiometer for the HiCut filter.
      - Other improvements and minor fixes.
      The license for version V1.0.x is still valid for version V1.1.

      Where is the plug-in installed?
      Windows: the setup program installs the VST3 plug-in (amplosion.vst3) in the VST3 default directories: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3 and C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3.
      macOS: the .pkg file installs the AU plug-in (Amplosion.component) in the AU default directory: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
      If you have already installed a previous version of Amplosion, you don't need to uninstall it, just install the new version.

      What is the difference between a channel and a preset?
      A channel is very similar to a real amp channel. The only difference is that you can choose a specific amp for each channel. Just like a real amp, the channels can be easily switched while playing.
      A preset is used to save and restore all the settings of Amplosion to/from the hard disk: current channel, all channels settings (amp, amp controls...), speaker cabinet settings, input level... You access the presets management panel by clicking the PANEL button.

      How do I control the input level?
      You will find the global input level control in the top left panel (INPUT LEVEL).

      May I boost the input signal? What happens if the input level LED display goes maximum?
      Amplosion reacts just like a real tube amp. So you can boost the input signal up to maximum, adding gain to the amp.

      How do I control the output level?
      Each amp has its own output level control (LEVEL), that you should adjust so that the output level display is not in the red.

      What is the 'oversampling factor'?
      A guitar amp creates a lot of harmonics, whose frequencies can be much higher than the Nyquist frequency (half of the sampling frequency). This creates unpleasant audible digital noise due to aliasing.
      Amplosion internally multiply the DAW sample rate by an oversampling factor to lower this noise at an inaudible level. This factor is higher for the lower sample rates, so you get the same quality even at lower rates.

      What's an IR?
      IR means Impulse Response, and in our case, an IR file is a small audio file that contains the "signature" of the simulated speaker cabinet. You may load an IR file by clicking the LOAD IR button, and active it by clicking the IR ON button.

      Are there any IR files installed with Amplosion?
      A default IR file is included in Amplosion. There are many IR providers and you will easily find your preferred speaker cabinet IR's, including free ones.

      What is the purpose of the HiCut button?
      The HiCut button enables a high cut filter, with an adjustable cutoff frequency.

      Is there a big difference between Heptode analog and digital simulation technologies?
      Not really. Heptode has always been working on both analog and digital technologies and the same methodology is used for both.

      Is the license valid for all user accounts?
      Yes, the license is valid for all user accounts on the same machine. Each user will have to activate the license using the same License Key.

      Where can I find the free Virtual Deep Crunch and Virtual Heavy Tone VST plug-ins ?
      You fill find them here.
