The Only Way: an amp head on a 4x12 cab under a single work light, a mic on a stand, and a four-pedal board

// Product 07 · First look

[The Only Way]

My rig, captured off the real amp. Two channels, a 4x12, four pedals, and nothing between you and the tone but a cable.

// Walk up to it

A rig you stand in front of, not a plug-in you scroll.

The interface is the rig, rendered, with working controls on it. Click the amp or the pedalboard to walk up to it. Click empty space or press Esc to step back.

The full app: the rig on stage, the signal chain along the bottom: input, tuner, gate, overdrive, amp, cab, output
The rendered amp head: amp and cab switches, gain, bass, mid, treble, presence and master, two channel lights

// 01 · The amp

Captured, not modelled.

Two channels, each a set of captures taken off one real head. Pick a capture per channel, then set gain, bass, mid, treble, presence and master the way you would on the amp.

The pedalboard: channel switch, tuner, overdrive and noise gate

// 02 · The pedalboard

Four pedals. All working.

A channel switch, the tuner, an overdrive that sits in front of the amp to push it, and a noise suppressor that keeps the high-gain channel quiet between chords.

The tuner pedal close up, reading D with the needle centred

// 03 · The tuner

Strum all six.

Polyphonic. Hit every string and it shows you every string, at once.

The output EQ panel open over the rig: five band sliders

// 04 · The output

Five bands, then a wall.

A five-band output EQ to sit the rig in your mix, then a limiter at −1 dBFS so the output never clips.

The captures and cabs panel: a capture for each channel, the cab picker, and the LaCroix preset

// 05 · Captures, cabs, presets

Every knob, saved.

Choose a capture for each channel and a cab: a 4x12 voice built in, or one of ten impulse responses. A preset stores every knob, both captures and the cab. It opens on mine.

// Honest notes

  • One amp, not a library. The captures are of one amp: mine. If you want every amp ever made, this isn't that.
