The world of music has changed and the world of guitar playing has changed along with it. It is becoming normal to not see the full guitar rigs of the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and instead just see guitar players with minimal systems to achieve their signature sounds. Introducing the Carl Martin Ampster ... from the company that has shone the single analog light down that deep digital tunnel. The Ampster, a single tube driven amp/speaker simulator that can either supplement your amp, or replace it. A fully analog unit with controls that are the same as your amplifier with the addition of a mute switch, a speaker selection switch and a voicing switch. What's more important, the Ampster reacts to your playing in the same way your full size amp does, giving you the same organic feel with zero latency! The Ampster is housed in a solid metal box with the standard EQ (Bass Middle Treble), pre and post volume/gain controls (Master & Gain) plus a Presence Control. There is a Mute Switch for obvious reasons and a Cabinet Switch with an LED Indicator light ( Red for a 2x12 Open Backed Cab, and Green for a 4x12 Closed Back Cab). On the back of the pedal you will find a Ground Lift and a Voicing Switch (a subtle low end cap controlled voicing adjustment). Input, Link (output to your amp or powered speaker) Balanced DI (XLR output to go to a mixing or recording console), a Send and Return for those specific effects that shouldn't be in front of the amp, a Remote Input for use with digital or analog effect controllers like the Carl Martin Octaswitch “The Strip,” and your standard 9v 1A power input. It couldn't be simpler! Plug your guitar straight in, or plug your pedal board into the input jack, choose your output and open your ears to a surprisingly big round clean sound, or by adjusting the Gain, that decidedly British Overdrive sound for which Carl Martin has become so well known. Our test players have fallen in love, telling us the Ampster reacts just like their standard amps, organic and responsive to your playing style or attack. In fact, the Ampster sounds just like a full size amp, but it fits on your pedalboard. Take a look at the videos ... we are certain you will want to take the Ampster for a test drive!

Modern amp sim software has progressed to an amazing degree, yet many guitarists have difficulty obtaining the same kind of responsive, organic sounds associated with physical amps. This book is loaded with tips on how to use amp sims not only to re-create the sound and feel of iconic amps, but also, to create sounds that were either impractical or impossible to do with traditional amps. Topics include: * Simple ways guitars can be more sim-friendly * Using processors to condition the audio prior to going through sims * Hard disk editing techniques to optimize tracks for use with amp sims * Multiband processing for exceptional dynamics and responsiveness * Parallel processing, amp stacking * Creating custom virtual cabinets instead of using the ones in the sim * Eliminating aliasing and other digital artifacts, combining amp sims and physical amps, and much more The book also includes information on how guitar can blend in perfectly with EDM and other modern musical forms through the use of software processing, and techniques like modulating guitar with drums and other instruments to give highly rhythmic overlays. Filled with illustrations and tech talk sidebars on selected topics, this book is essential reading for all guitarists - from traditional blues players who seek the ultimate tone, to experimental guitarists immersed in the world of electronics.

Ampero amp modeler & effects processor is a game changer. Its heart pounding amp modeling and uber quality effects are powered by the new-gen CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system, bringing you the absolute best the world has to offer. Packaged in a cool, thin case with a 4-inch hi-def color touch screen, Ampero delivers all the real sounds of rock past and present. Driving Ampero is Hotone's innovative CDCM HD (Comprehensive Dynamic Circuit Modeling High Definition) and F.I.R.E. (Field Impulse Response Enhancement) system. Built on Hotone's powerful XTOMP platform, acclaimed Binary series, and breakthrough VStomp Amp virtual plugin, the new-gen CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. system showcases Hotone's new high-shelf circuit modeling methods. Mainstream modeling methods are generally based on static state circuitry modeling or “black box” theory, which just “come close” to the modeled sound. CDCM HD & F.I.R.E. employs a complex system based on dynamic feature modeling. In this matrix, the technology rebuilds the entire circuitry using modeled electronic components, resulting in a tone that is vivid, accurate and expressive. More than that, the new system enhances the relationship between amps and PA systems, delivering a realistic feel and response you've never before experienced on digital gear.
