FAQ
What is Amplosion?
- Amplosion is a versatile guitar amp simulation plugin that offers musicians a range of high-quality amp tones for both studio recording and live performance. Designed to emulate the dynamic response of real tube amps, it provides an intuitive interface and flexible sound shaping tools, making it an essential tool for guitarists looking to enhance their sound.
What's New in Version V1.1?
- Introduces new amp simulation "Randy" (Mesa Rectifier* style).
- Adds a cutoff frequency potentiometer for the HiCut filter.
- Includes various other improvements and minor fixes.
- Existing V1.0.x licenses remain valid for V1.1.
Where is the Plugin installed?
- Windows: Installed in the VST3 default directories at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3 and C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3.
- macOS: Installed in the AU default directory at /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
- No need to uninstall a previous version; simply install the new version.
What is the Difference Between a Channel and a Preset?
- A channel in Amplosion behaves like a real amp's channel, with the additional feature allowing you to choose and switch amps within any given channel.
- A preset enables you to save and restore all settings of Amplosion, including configurations of channels, speaker cabinets, and input levels.
How do I Control the Input Level?
- Adjust the global input level using the control in the top left panel.
May I Boost the Input Signal? What Happens if the Input Level LED Display Goes Maximum?
- Yes, you can boost the input signal without the risk of unwanted digital clipping. Amplosion behaves like a real tube amp, where boosting leads to desirable tube saturation rather than harsh clipping.
How do I Control the Output Level?
- Each amp has an individual output level control. Set it to keep the output level display out of the red.
What is the 'Oversampling Factor'?
- It multiplies the DAW sample rate internally to reduce digital noise due to aliasing, especially important at lower sample rates.
What's an IR?
- IR stands for Impulse Response. It's a small audio file that captures the sound of the speaker cabinet and the microphone’s response. Load and activate IR files by using the LOAD IR and IR ON buttons.
Are There any IR Files Installed with Amplosion?
- Yes, a default IR file is included. Additional IRs can be sourced from various providers, including free options.
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's Analog and Digital Simulation Technologies?
- Both technologies use the same methodological approach, offering high-quality sound simulations.
Is the License Valid for All User Accounts on the Same Machine?
- Yes, the same license key is valid for all user accounts on the same machine. However, each user must individually activate the license using the same license key.
Is a License Valid on Multiple Machines?
- No, each license is valid for use on only one machine. If you need to use the software on multiple machines, separate licenses are required for each one.
