MacOSX
Specifically designed for Jazz, Country, slide guitar, accordion, steel guitar, and other instruments and genres that focus on the quality of the amp's reproduction of the instrument, rather than how much distortion can be produced. Sonatura's engineers have meticulously reproduced three classic amps that are so rare, most musicians have never even played through them.
Working with the Emrad Grand Master (designed specifically for Johnny Smith), the Kay Vanguard 700, and the Haynes Jazz King II, all parameters have been faithfully and meticulously reproduced. We used a combination of neural modeling, circuit emulation, and impulse responses to create the best of all possible worlds.
Prefer a standalone amp sim, without having to open up your DAW? We've got you covered! The standalone is available for both Mac and PC. The PC version has full ASIO support for extremely low latency. (The Mac version doesn't require ASIO to have low latency.)
There are two sections - the first models each amp with the original controls, and the second models the response of the speakers, through various microphones, as well as the room response of the Fun House, the main studio at PME Records. In addition, the position of each of three mics, the Shure™ SM57, the Sennheiser™ MD421, and the Royer™ R-121 ribbon, can be varied from the center of the cone to the edge, and all points in between. There's also an E-V™ Re-20 mic on the back of the cabinet. And finally, an ORTF stereo pair is out in the room, with the stereo image and distance delay kept intact. Every channel has Mute, Solo, Volume, and Pan controls, along with an LED meter.
