The Softube Amp Room Bundle consists of three
state-of-the-art Amp Room plug-ins from Softube: Vintage Amp Room, Metal
Amp Room, and Bass Amp Room. By buying them together in this virtual
guitar amplifier software bundle you'll get a significant price drop,
while expanding your DAW with several brilliant amp and cab modeling
options.
Vintage Amp Room
Straightforward and simple, Vintage Amp Room software emulates three
great guitar amps in a complete studio setup with speaker cabinets and
fully flexible microphone positioning. The amp plug-in is easy to use
for live performances and recordings, as well as for re-amping and
last-minute tweaking.
Amp Room plug-in has none of the added
gadgets or weird-sounding presets sometimes found in simulation
software. Focusing on quality and accuracy, it simulates three amps,
with sounds that are timeless and authentically raw. The goal is not to
give you a pre-produced, ultimate guitar sound, but to provide you with
the ultimate tool to create your own. Because, after all, only you know
exactly what sound you want.
White
White is based on an all-round great amps that set the industry
standards for classic, distorted rock 'n' roll sounds. The genius is its
simplicity. It's stripped down to the bare essentials—all tubes, only
one channel, and no reverb or any other built-in effects. Sound-wise, it
goes from mad screaming preamp shred, to warm, speakers-about-to-break
power amp distortion. White is perfect when you need a
characteristically distorted edge and a powerful roar.
Amp Room Brown
Amp Room Brown is based on one of the most versatile amplifiers in music
history. One used in all kinds of genres, and for all kinds of
instruments, because it has a sound that is clean, crisp, and clear, but
also warm, thick, and punchy. Brown can produce anything from the
clearest country-style sound for steel guitars to a dirty, bluesy guitar
noise. It works for both funky rhythms and bassy, mellow chords. It's
got a notoriously warm sound with a massive bass and a shimmering
treble. Versatility embodied, it can do more or less whatever you want
it to.
Green
Green is packed with character and produces a pleasant guitar sound with
warm, yet intense power amp distortion. Its edginess makes it shine
through in mixes, without drowning out other instruments. Green is based
on a very adaptable three-channel amp model. All three channels sound
fantastic, but if you want to add a little quirkiness, try the
vibrato/tremolo one. The original amplifier has been widely used during
the last forty years, from classic pop recordings in the 60s through to
modern independent and alternative rock.
Metal Amp Room
The Metal Amp Room plug-in from Softube was designed to bring you the
most brutal, evil, and aggressive sound that is possible to squeeze out
of your DAW. The software was codeveloped with Patrik Jensen (The
Haunted) and tailored to his needs. The continuous mic placement from
Vintage Amp Room is back, but this time with twin mics and adjustable
stereo panning. Get a huge stereo sound with complex adjustable phasing
effects, a plain old one-mic-right-against-the-cone, or anything in
between. The cabinets were measured in the In Flames studio (previously
known as Studio Fredman) by Tue Madsen and Patrik Jensen.
Focusing
on usability and sound quality, this is a plug-in that is proud not to
include a gazillion amps, effects racks, patch cords, or a blow- dryer.
Just two channels, two cabinets, two mics per cabinet, and a wickedly
fast noise gate for palm mute galore. Every setting was optimized so
it's almost impossible to get a useless sound from this software. Metal
Amp Room is a real workhorse, a plug-in that will handle all your metal
needs without ever getting in your way.
Program-Dependent One-Knob Gate
The gate in Metal Amp Room will automatically analyze your playing. Fast
playing will give you an extremely fast gate, while slow playing will
yield a slower closing gate. Regardless of playing style, the gate will
always react instantaneously and open up faster than any hardware gate,
without adding any latency to the signal.
Double mics on double cabs
Both speaker cabinets have two mics each—one dynamic and one condenser.
Fully flexible mic positioning, link mic functionality, and realistic
room resonance modeling will give you just the result you need, and much
more.
Intuitive Stereo Control
The Balancing Stereo Preamp will keep your guitar signal focused, while
giving you easy access to the features you want to use. While keeping
the guitar signal centered, you can easily monitor each mic, change the
stereo width of the signal, and dial in the sound that you want.
Version 1.1 update:
By popular demand Softube have added the possibility to bypass either
the amp sim or the cabinet simulation. The most straightforward use of
this feature is to use the amp simulation together with your favorite
real-life guitar cabinet, or to use the cabinet simulations together
with the line-out signal from your amplifier. New presets were added as
well.
Bass Amp Room
Bass Amp Room was designed to handle all your bass amp needs, from dirty
rock to modern clean, keeping two equally important goals in mind. The
first was to give the user the best possible sound quality. The latter
was to create an intuitive plug-in which allows for a really fast work
flow. Time is money, but cutting down on time shouldn't mean you have to
accept poor results.
Bass Amp Room consists of a model of a
classic bass amplifier, three distinctive speaker cabinets with
click-and-drag mics, and a blendable DI (Direct Inject) section with
tone controls and a limiter. That's it. It's all you need to create a
unique signature sound—the strength lies in the ease of use of the
individual blocks and the huge range of sounds produced when combined.
In
short, Bass Amp Room is all about getting a sound you know you can
trust, and getting it quickly, from a plug-in you don't need a degree in
computer science to handle.
Authentic Amp Modeling
Although designed as a guitar amp, the 70s amp that served as
inspiration for Bass Amp Room has proven to be an excellent choice for
bass players. A thick and solid preamp distortion without any fizz lets
you crank it up without losing the low end.
The power amp has a
more traditional power amp distortion (controlled by the Master Volume
knob), but at extreme settings it will start to sound more, erhm, broken
(which can be a good thing, depending on your musical tastes).
The High/Low switch wasn't a part of the original amp, but was added to give you a cleaner and fatter sound when necessary.
Cabinets
The three cabinets in Bass Amp Room include:
•The Classic: Industry standard 8x10" for fat, rock-solid bass tones with lots of low end and lots of definition
•The Rocker: For rock sounds, a 4x12" is the given choice and this one is focused, hard, and sounds just as it should
•The Odd Bird: An open back 1x12" isn't exactly the most usual choice for a bass player, but in a studio it works just excellent
DI and Mix Panel
The DI is separate from the amp and cabs, and allows you to tailor the
direct signal separately from the amped signal, just like in real life.
The tone controls are specially designed for bass and are extremely fast
to work with.
The DI Limiter is a one-knob limiter that tames the transients in the direct bass signal.
The
possibility to blend the DI signal with the amp signal allows you to
get a huge range of sounds. For instance, set the amp on a really
distorted signal, and blend in some low end from the DI
